~My Personal Leadership Journey~

At a pivotal moment in my career and life, I made the decision to pause, pivot, and pursue growth in a new way. I took a year off from work (scary move #1), relocated myself and young family from New Jersey to Toronto (scary move #2), and pursued a Master of Laws at the Univ. of Toronto—knowing the change would be uncomfortable, but trusting it was necessary. That decision reshaped how I understand leadership, resilience, and the power of empathy—both for others and for ourselves. 

Today, I live and work in Toronto, carrying firsthand experience in navigating uncertainty, redefining professional identity, and leading with intention and compassion. This journey laid the foundation for my work and my company, grounded in the belief that empathetic leadership creates clarity, confidence, and sustainable success. And this is the same intentional, empathy-led growth I am passionate about helping my clients cultivate in their own leadership journeys.

Empathy is the foundation. 

🌿

Empathetic leadership is human. 

It's deeply effective. Executive Leaders thrive with this style of leaderhsip and they stand out for their effective leadership. It drives results. Empathy is the difference between a good team and a high-functioning, GREAT team.
