Leadership Expert

I had many fancy titles but still felt empty inside.

Then I went through a life-changing couple of years. Titles gone.

I learned to replace achievement chasing with self love. And now I feel more whole, and am honored to share my learnings with you.

"Although self-improvement is important, the greatest improvement is the one that enables a person to start loving himself just as he is." -Guy Corneau

I started my career 20 years ago when I joined GE, then the premier company for developing incredible global leaders. From that point on, I've been studying and practicing leadership. It is one of my passions.
