I help leaders and teams cultivate spaces where people thrive, by sharing the tools to elevate connection, get comfortable with feedback, and improve communication. I bring over 20 years of professional development and public speaking experience to my work. From the classroom to the board room, I've designed and delivered content for groups of all sizes. My work focuses on workplace connection and communication, with an emphasis on taking the fear out of feedback. Elevate Connection: Cultivate an Engaged, Inspired, Productive, and Profitable Team Culture, debuted as a #1 bestseller in 3 countries. In addition to writing, speaking, and leadership development work, I am an Assistant Professor at Messiah University.
