Storytelling to create connection and understanding, particularly with leaders. I love helping leaders and companies learn how to reimagine and evolve how they build their leaders, cultures and teams. My best days are when I help a leader learn how to leverage storytelling to inform, influence and inspire others.

I gave a TEDx that was moved to TED.com in January of 2021: "How your brain responds to stories and why they're critical for leaders." It hit half a million views in less than a week and has continued to grow over the past year. I've had people reach out to me from all across the wrold as a result of the talk. Literary agents reach out and I am in the process of shopping a proposal and writing a book: The Perfect Story: How to tell stories that inform, influence and inspire. I love the TED community for the connections I've gained, people I've learned from the and new opportunities brought my way.

Playing the flute.
