I challenge business owners and professionals to think strategically and leverage their skills, knowledge, and resources to lead teams effectively.
​
I have over twenty-one years of experience running businesses and leading teams with 7-Eleven. I am known for helping leaders clarify their goals, improve communication, influence, and develop habits to enhance organizational culture and profitable growth.

I have experience helping small business owners, mid-level managers, and executives develop the skills and habits necessary to expand their leadership and scale their influence. My biggest strength is my ability to listen to leaders, help them refine their thinking, and establish new behaviors that improve performance.
