As a leadership coach, I centre equity, curiosity, authenticity and leading from the heart in all that I do. The heartbeat of my work is power, leadership, systems change, and theatre.
Ever since I stepped into my first formal position of authority more than two decades ago, I’ve been dancing with power. Sometimes it’s a fiery tango or a graceful waltz, maybe a fun jive or even an impromptu jazz dance. Every new dance step is a discovery about my relationship to power, how I use power, and how power influences my leadership effectiveness.
After 25 years as a leader in the non-profit world, I realized how focused we are on social justice missions that are meant to create equity and justice out there. But through my leadership experience, I learned we can’t get to equity and justice out there unless we, as leaders, are willing to look inward. Change starts with us.
