My mission is to catalyze a culture of authenticity, connection, and innovation through empowering our "Voice of Leadership": Presence, Influence, Confidence
The 'Voice of Leadership' is clear, confident, and connected physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.
I've spent 30+ years developing the ‘Voice of Leadership’ method of developing presence, influence, and creative confidence. Combining my professional background in Communication, Education, Psychology, Mindfulness, and Acting, I now promote the essential leadership skills of voice projection, emotional connection, courage, and presence to help leaders step up to make a powerful contribution to their teams and organisations.
I was born and raised in the US and began my professional career with work in project management, customer service, sales, and facilitation for software and leadership development companies. I then took a leap to follow my creative passion as a professional actor, singer, and personal and professional development teacher. Always passionate about learning and growing, I received my B.A. with honours at the University of Virginia, a Masters degree in Education, at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, ordination as an interfaith celebrant and certification as a leader of the Dances of Universal Peace. I also completed many acting, dance, and voice courses with various teachers in the US, the UK, and India. In the past 10 years, I have been focusing more specifically on expanding my heart-breath-presence presence through mindfulness practices which have deepened my ability to support others.
I am a dual citizen of the USA and New Zealand and am currently based in Kinloch, Taupo, Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand.
