I Encourage leaders to embrace positive disruption so they can unleash innovation and change in their professional and personal lives.

Positive disruption turns obstacles into opportunities

With over half of my 30+ year career dedicated to helping individuals, teams, and organizations adopt agile frameworks, I’ve learned that while these tools can spotlight strengths and reveal gaps, real progress often stalls without a commitment to ownership. Fear, indifference, or a lack of awareness can hold people back from embracing change. I’m passionate about empowering everyone, no matter their position, to lead. My mission is to spark the courage to innovate, disrupt, and make meaningful impact.
