Coaching
For movers and shakers who get things done in service of something bigger than themselves.
We move every day: to get things done, and to express how we feel. When we see art or hear a speech that inspires us, we call it moving. When we feel stuck, we say we want to move forward. And when people come together for a purpose larger than themselves, we call that a movement too. My movement coaching connects the dots between these ways we experience movement, to move your mind, body, heart and soul forward to your leadership potential (on stage and off).
For over 30 years, I have been honored to coach leaders to move their mind, body, heart and soul forward to coherence - so they can thrive in their work and their lives.
Mentoring
Build a thought leadership business and personal brand that doesn’t burn out your joy.
For many years, I didn’t think of my work as a business, because it felt more like a Calling. Then I discovered there is a name for people like us: soulpreneurs. We don’t grow by hustling harder; we expand our income and impact when we put our well-being first and build a thought leadership business in service to the greater good. In my Chakras of Business course, I share my framework for how I built my thought leadership business (as an author, speaker and coach) from the ground up, so you can share your genius with the clients who need you.
Join over 600 students in my Chakras of Business course and mentoring program who are answering their higher Calling to share their work with the world. Together, we are empowering each other to heal the hustle out of entrepreneurship.

Speaking
Empower your team to engage better, with themselves and each other.
Your next event is a golden opportunity to move your audience (whether it’s your board, your team or your conference) back to joy. As a communication scientist who has trained hundreds of speakers as a professor (PhD), leadership coach (PCC) and performing artist (MFA), I collaborate with you to design an interactive keynote, workshop or retreat that empowers your team to connect first within themselves (with their mind, body and soul) and then with each other. Here, the trust that is needed for improved engagement, performance and innovation is built through authentic connection, with ourselves and each other.
I have been honored to deliver moving keynotes, workshops and retreats to hundreds of leaders, teams, organizations and government agencies.

Her keynotes, workshops, retreats and Genius Breaks have moved hundreds of leaders, teams, organizations and government agencies forward to optimal performance, including the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Treasury Executive Institute, the International Monetary Fund and Kaiser Permanente.
