you can’t be a badass if you Are burned out!
Believe me, I know!
I’m the former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson who ticked all the boxes of traditional success only to find myself exhausted, empty, and unfulfilled. Shocked to feel success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL, I walked away from one of the sexiest jobs in the world, and into a journey I called my Soulbbatical. At the time, I thought it was a way of leaving, but what I discovered was a radical new way of leading.
Now I’m on a mission to empower leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations to feel more alive, aligned, and energized for greater impact in the world, not on their wellbeing.
That’s what I call Success-FULL
AS SEEN ON
SPEAKING
I’ve been called “the next Brené Brown”
Greatest compliment of my life. And, good news for clients: I’m a little more badass and a lot less expensive! Not only that, my work lives at the crucial intersection of leadership, culture, and wellbeing – some of the most in-demand topics today. So, if a badass former c-suite executive who speaks from the soul to get audiences inspired and in action sounds like a fit, I’m here for it!
It’s Not About Quitting Your Job…
Imagine a bolder, braver, more badass world. Where success isn’t measured by busy-ness and burnout, but by wellbeing and soul. Where leaders can thrive without sacrificing their humanity. And organizations embody the belief that ROI is not only return on investment, but also Ripples of Impact. The kind of ripples that can only radiate from cultures filled with energized, inspired, and healthy humans.
This radical re-imagining of our work isn’t just possible – it’s essential. It’s the empowering antidote to burnout, disengagement, and attrition. And it’s not a call to quit your job. It’s an invitation to quit defining success in a way that no longer serves you. A rally cry to rebel for the life you want to live, the culture you want to create, and the impact you want to have for generations to come. The real future of work is a celebration of our humanity, wellbeing, and soul. We’re being called to create it together.
Let’s create Ripples of Impact. Together.
Knowing what I know now, I often wonder what impact I could have had at Harley-Davidson. But that wasn’t my path. Mine is to work with leaders, like you, who are ready to bring an energized new way of leading into your lives, teams, and organizations. One that promises Ripples of Impact in the world, not on your wellbeing. So, let’s talk leadership summits and workshops, team offsite facilitation, and customized transformational experiences.
