Reader, I discovered my passion for business at nine years old.

No, that’s not a typo!

By 22, while working as an auditor for a national real estate company, I uncovered my deeper purpose.

But I quickly found out that discovering your purpose is where the work of living your purpose begins. They are two very different journeys.

I realized my purpose was to unlock greater human potential at all levels within organizations. But my position and purpose were completely misaligned. Despite my awakening, I faced two major challenges:

1. Back then, corporate leadership was all about command-and-control performance management. There was little that was transformational or human-centered about it.
2. I wasn’t yet the person who could fully embody and lead from my deeper purpose.

It took years of trial and error to bring my leadership and purpose into alignment and become someone who could authentically lead in any room, with leaders at all levels—whether from within an organization or as an external consultant.

Looking back, the path seems illuminated. I can see how many of my choices—though certainly not all—led me to become the aligned, co-creative leader I am today.

That’s not to say I haven’t zigged when zagging might have been easier, less stressful, or even better for my bank account. But I have absolutely no regrets.

Now, 33 years later, I’m thriving in the sweet spot between my purpose and my position, unlocking human potential and fostering prosperity.

In Transform This!, we dive into exactly that—how to use your own unique journey to become a leader who lives aligned with purpose and prosperity, brings out the best in others, and helps them tap into their greater potential—all without losing yourself along the way.

The world needs your leadership now!
