Personal Details

Bio

Trust me.

You say, “Why the heck should I trust you???”

I’ve been where you are. I’ve stayed in a job I hated, just because I was too scared to give up the regular income…or because I didn’t really believe anyone would buy what I was selling.

Now here I am. I’ve started and grown several companies. I’ve raised a ton of money for nonprofit organizations. I’ve spoken in front of thousands of people. It took me years to get to this point…I don’t want you to wait that long.

How did I get here? By identifying what my fears were…breaking them down, and addressing them one by one. By finding a group of women who wanted nothing more than to see each other succeed; who are more than happy to share wins, advice, and commiseration. By making an easily digestible plan of action to reach my big-ass goal, and staying focused during each step.

How long did it take me to get here? YEARS. I don’t want it to take that long for you. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not fair to your future customers.

Sure, it’s a big leap. But I’ll be your personal safety net. I promise not to let you fall.

I believe empowered women can change their world, and I am on a mission to empower as many women as I can.

Through on-demand transformational tools, facilitated online communities, and live events, I will help you turn your reticence into courage—and get your business started and growing.

My insights have been featured in "Forbes", "Women’s Health", National Public Radio, and "The New York Times". I am the best-selling author of "Become Your Own Great and Powerful: A Woman’s Guide to Leading Your Real, Big Life". My clients call me “highly skilled, experienced, a delight to work with” and “a sparkling member of the human race”.

When I am not creating a new cohort of superheroines, you can find me making art, knitting, sitting on the beach, or indulging in almost anything that has bacon in it.

This Should Not Be So Hard

Business needs education to work in order to have qualified people to hire. Education needs involvement from business to make sure every student has the tools he or she needs to succeed. Education and business can and should learn from, support and benefit each other. So why is it so hard to get them to work together?
