MY STORY
PLUS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I promote Ethical Leadership in everything that I do.
It's a thread that runs through my communications, professional speaking, and broadcast work.
My passion comes from being the one who vowed to do right by people because of people who treat leadership like a vanity project.
It's motivated me to better understand leadership theories and practice after exploring how narcissistic leadership impacts followership during my master's degree research.
That burning desire inspires me to help top leaders who want their companies, organizations, and institutions to gain that competitive edge, as well as college students and leaders whose careers are on an upward trajectory.
This is my North Star.
It's my raison d'être.
It's the Creole Trinity in my cooking.
It's what keeps me up at night
and gets me out of bed in the morning.
