Hi.

I’ve always been fascinated by global, systemic trends; issues where culture, business, and leadership meet. It started when the French walked out of the Uruguay round of GATT over the inclusion of cultural industries (tv, radio, film). I was 21 and captivated.

Yeah, I know… that isn’t exactly normal.

After working in television and magazines in California, 15 years teaching Master’s and Undergraduate students in Universities in the USA and Europe, and serving as Director of Content Development in a cutting-edge, global digital learning firm, I set out into the global gig economy 14 years ago. Making that decision when I was single, living in a foreign country with almost no contacts or connections, without speaking the local language fluently, was scary & risky, but it worked better than I could have ever imagined: It’s been an adventure & pleasure to work in over 40 countries with leaders from almost every nation in the world.

Together we’ve built life-changing personal development programs, supported women entrepreneurs all over the planet, and worked on large-scale leadership & communication programs that have transformed the cultures of some of the world’s largest organizations.

 In 2020, a former client & I co-founded APOGEO Group, a global collective of partner firms in the UK, USA, Switzerland and Germany to fill a gap in the market: we increase the impact of organizations’ learning & events investment by delivering excellence, engagement, and educational value. From facilitated leadership retreats to events and digital learning for thousands, we make leadership easier by engaging workforces directly.

On this site & in keynote addresses, I share some of my own professional stories with you. They’re stories about taking risks, being resilient, listening to & building relationships with people from different cultures, what’s possible when we operate outside our comfort zones, and how to create environments where people do that. They take place in the Middle East, in Europe, in the USA, in India, Manila, and place in between.
