Rise above power games through fit for the future leadership.

Are You Ready to Be Seen, Heard, and Valued?

We need to reform power in the workplace.

Join the movement!

As a senior executive, you navigate a complex and demanding landscape daily. Balancing your professional responsibilities with your personal commitments, all while striving to make your voice heard, can be overwhelming. Then there’s the backbiting, undermining, credit stealing, gossiping, sabotage, blame shifting shenanigans.

Power games can break us down, or build us up.

We can change our relationship to power and build better workplaces. I will show you how.

Why Choose Us?

I’ve been there. My dreams of a supportive, collaborative workplace where everyone lifts each other up have often been dashed. I’ve been undermined, sidelined, and under appreciated.

It sucks.

I learned how to back myself, how to advocate for myself without grandstanding or making enemies. And I’ve studied power enough to stop being naïve when it comes to power games in the workplace. They’re real, but we can change this. First we change how we show up, then we build collaborative power.

My program is tailored specifically for senior executives who are ready to break barriers and make their mark. I provide a supportive and empowering environment where you can thrive and grow.
