ore like an unimaginable movie plot, I survived both a stranger abduction and a hostage situation during mychildhood. These, among many other impactful experiences, left me curious about people, power, perceptions, and purpose.

​

With this curiosity always looming, I pursued relevant training, certifications, and degrees. That same curiosity also directed my approach to my 20+ year workforce career where I focused on more than just work skills. I also focused on areas that truly impact people’s lives – life purpose, belonging, stress, and trauma.

​

I paid meticulous attention to the human behaviors that seemed to really be at the root of performance at work, at school, and at play. Mostly for myself initially, I noted those behaviors, studied them, taught them, and cataloged them. I now share my best science and evidence-based tips with you.
