About

---

For more than 25 years, I've helped leaders and organizations navigate complex change and growth. Much of that time was spent as a people leader and change practitioner in a Fortune 150 company, in executive and senior roles across change and transformation, learning and development, and HR leadership. I've also advised organizations of all sizes across a wide range of industries. Today, I bring what I've learned to the stage and the classroom through keynotes, workshops, and graduate teaching, all rooted in a people-centered, brain-based approach.

My work centers on two questions: How do leaders create the conditions people need for lasting, meaningful change? And how can leaders anchor their identity in who they are, not just what they do?

I serve as adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota and the University of Denver, teaching graduate courses in organizational leadership, strategic consulting, and organizational change consulting. My students keep me learning and continually shape how I think about leadership and change.

I hold a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership (Ed.D.) from Grand Canyon University, where my research focused on change commitment and change communication. My master's degree is in Organizational and Professional Communication from the University of Denver, and I also hold a Bachelor of Music from Western Oregon University.
