Not going to Coachella, but my Amazon Part 2 talk is live🎥. Just like Beyonce reuniting with Destiny’s Child, I brought 3 incredible Amazon female leaders on the stage with me.

Instead of singing (I wasn’t blessed with the Filipino singing or dancing gene unfortunately), we all talked about:

- What it looks like to lead a team of 100+ while holding it together
- Why playing it safe is keeping you stuck
- How your empathy and emotion are strengths, not liabilities
- The importance of understanding seasons at work
- Managing anxiety at work (We talked therapy & I shared the 2 therapeutic methods that actually helped me)
- How to advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re bragging

Before the SoCal Women’s Conference wrapped, I reminded all 70 women in that room the importance of being in a village, and staying in a community.

Because we don’t grow alone, we grow together.

You can watch/listen to part 2 of my Amazon talk on my podcast: “Business & Career Realtalk” on:

70 seats. A waitlist of 20. Is this how Beyoncé & Taylor Swift feel? 😳 I’m the keynote speaker for the SoCal Women’s Leadership Conference & this one is full circle.

This conference is organized by the SBD6 team in Ontario, California.
Where I grew up.
Where my parents still live.
Where I went to Howard Elementary & Oaks Middle School ( )

And when I did a little research, I found out that on the opening day of the Amazon SBD6 building, the band performed.

The same band my two band geek brothers played in.
I was the orch dork with the violin.

My parents will FINALLY get to watch me keynote.
In their backyard.

The last time they got to see me speak in their backyard was my Valedictorian graduation speech at Oaks Middle School! 🥹 I was 13.

➡️ My talk? I’ll be talking about emotional intelligence, executive presence and communication through a lens that retail and operation leaders actually speak: supply chain logic applied to people. Fun fact, one of my first jobs was working at See’s Candies.

This is my Conscious Conversations® framework, it’s what I bring into Fortune 500 companies, leaders and teams and why I have 300+ client reviews.

Training for the 2030 Winter Olympics. TBH this sign is closest thing I’ll get to my Gold Medal 😂 ⛷️

01/23/2026

23 days into 2026, I’ve already hit 63% of last year’s cash flow. How? Not by being loud but by having executive presence.

Here’s the truth:
I’ve lost and won contracts (sometimes with the same vendor).
I’ve lost and won pitches.
But I’ve never focused on “winning.”
I focus on relationships, trust and results.

Before coaching?
I was a fundraiser who raised $11 million.

Now?
I’ve got 300+ client reviews (you can check out my 2 IG highlight reels ⬆️ titled “Client Results”)
because I help leaders and business owners
close contracts without becoming someone they’re not.

Since 2020, too many people are trying to impress instead of connect.

Default checklist mode looks like:
❌ Post daily
❌ Go to all the events
❌ Repeat the same elevator pitch to everyone

But here’s what buyers really want especially now:
👉 Clear communication
👉 Real alignment
👉 Someone who builds trust and delivers results

That’s why I’m teaming up with for a 2-hour, hands-on workshop:

🎤 How to Get Contracts Using Executive Presence

This isn’t a lecture.
It’s not a motivational talk.
(It’s also not boring — we’ll laugh. I love improv 😉)

You’ll leave with:
✅ Real scripts
✅ Proven strategies
✅ Tools you can use immediately to close contracts

📅 Thurs, Jan 29
⏰ 10AM–12PM PST
📍 800 W 6th St #1010, DTLA

Big News! I’m heading to Dubai next week to speak at 🇦🇪

I’ll be on a panel speaking about, “The Skillset of Tomorrow: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet,” and MCing the Pitch Stage.

As a business and executive coach who’s coached 20k+ leaders (and seen how burnout disguises itself as productivity), I’ll be sharing:

Why it’s not just about AI, but EI (Emotional Intelligence) that will define this next chapter of how we work and what it means to lead with profit, process and people in mind.

Through my Conscious Conversations® framework, I help founders and leaders integrate emotional intelligence into innovation reminding us that AI may predict patterns, but only humans build trust.

Excited for the panel discussion I’ll have with Adil-Ul Islam, Mohammed Benzakour, Abhilasha Singh, Ahmed Metwoali and Hemant Pandey on this.

As an MC, I’ll be cheering on founders and innovators, and making sure I bring the fun into it.

I’m so honored to be discussing and bridging AI + EI (emotional intelligence) on the global stage because the future of work isn’t about smarter tech, but more conscious humans.

🇦🇪 If you’ll be in Dubai, come say hi!
