I’m a recovering burnout-oholic

Now, I turn chaos into structure.

Leaving work late, without an ounce of energy or mental capacity left for your family? The struggle you feel between work and home life is real. I know.

I create my programs because I know what it feels like to make key decisions all day, have everyone tugging for your attention and then have “what’s for dinner?” put you over the edge. As a busy CMO, at the end of the day (sometimes night), I couldn’t process one more thing or be fully present at home. Outwardly, I was on top of my career, running a multi-million dollar business, respected by my peers. Inside, my stress got out of control. I lived to work. I was exhausted. I felt weak. I missed family events. And, I was diagnosed with chronic insomnia.

So, I created a simple system to get back control of my day and my life. It worked! I started accomplishing more, leaving the office during daylight and running a sustainable race toward success.

Now, I help busy professionals do the same. Let’s get you from survival mode to smart business leader ASAP.

What I’m Known For

Serving others and getting things done. Raised in Chicago, I’ve got the giving spirit and gritty work ethic of a midwesterner. You’ll catch an accent when I get excited.

I live on the East Coast so I hustle and tackle challenges head-on. My coaching style is the same way. I’m friendly, fast-paced and I will give it to you straight.

Taking complex, off-the-wall ideas and simplifying them into processes is my jam. I love a good strategy session and will draw diagrams any chance I get.

I love discovering what’s new and evolving. I’m always learning and teaching. It’s in my blood. I come from a long line of school teachers.

Being busy is worn like a badge of honor. But it’s not sustainable. It’s time to get out of survival mode.
