"I’ve worked in corporate, nonprofit, and educational settings for over 20 years. What I saw over and over again: unspoken tensions, unclear expectations, and communication habits that erode trust and slow everything down.
So I started supporting leaders to change that: not just with techniques, but with a mindset shift rooted in empathy, clarity, and ownership."
