My coaching philosophy is rooted in my bodybuilding background.

You see bodybuilders have a determination and focus that most people can’t get close to.

Their discipline is next to none.

I competed in in over 15 bodybuilding competitions in my lifetime.

It has helped shape my coaching philosophy.

It is why I believe so strongly in a holistic approach to everything.

I’ve been down the road others told me was impossible.

Remember.....

💫DISCIPLINE is the pathway to reaching all your goals.
🦾DETERMINATION is the vehicle that will get you there.
🔥CONSISTENCY is the fuel that moves you forward.

Fun Facts

▫I started competing in 2005.
▫Competed in Ms. Fitness USA in 2007, placed 20th out of 40 incredible women.
▫Watched the best in the world compete at the Mr. Olympia in 2009
▫I’ve coached dozens of women to the stage who thought “this is impossible.”
▫I competed 5 months after I had my first daughter and achieved my best physique ever.😃

Although bodybuilding is a sport where you are judged on how you look I can promise you that it runs much deeper than that.

I’ve spoken with many and can tell you first hand that it is all about mindset.

It is about doing what you once thought was impossible.

It is about reaching a level of discipline that less than 1% of people ever achieve.

It is next level s**t.

Your mind holds you back from so much. Your thoughts determine where you go in this life.

A Transformation Coach can flip the switch for you.

What’s the secret to building an authentic personal brand?

It starts with a leadership philosophy that speaks from your core.

In the world of leadership development, I’ve seen too many organizations adopt a one-size-fits all approach.

But here’s the truth:

🔹Your leadership style is as unique as your fingerprint.

If I asked you, “What’s your personal brand?” Could you answer it?
If I asked you, “What is your leadership philosophy?” Coud you answer it?

If you are an aspiring, new, emerging leader or someone with 20+ years of leadership you should be able to answer those questions…..easily. Most cannot.

Today I want to share the most important elements that will help you create a strong brand.

The first 90 days in that new leadership role will be brutal.

It doesn’t matter if your title changed to Team Lead, Manager, Director, etc..

Those who were once on the same level as you are NOT going to automatically see you as a leader.

The reality is you have a lot of work ahead of yourself to prove that you understand what leadership actually is. You don’t magically wake up one day with a new title understanding exactly what you need to do.

Your role has changed, your perspective needs to change.

Most new managers are promoted around the age of 30 but don’t receive any leadership development until the age of 42!! I’m on a mission to change that.

I help new and emerging leaders become catalyst of transformation.

I’m the person you go to when you want to move from manager ➡ leader & when you realize you need to learn how to develop other people.

In other words your first 90 days on the job doesn’t have to be so brutal. Gathering the perspective you need along with the proper training and coaching is what I do.

Every new leader has there own set of unique challenges. When you start looking through the lens of a transformational leader you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and then you start understanding how to create a path to get there.

If you need a little help on your journey I’ve got a ton of free resources that will provide a valuable roadmap.

According to Forbes, coaching isn't just a tool—it's a powerhouse. It's the secret sauce that helps leaders finesse those critical skills like problem-solving, informed decision-making, team facilitation, change management, and effective communication. With a coach by their side, leaders polish these skills, adopt proven strategies, and fine-tune their leadership approach to better serve their team's needs.

✨ Coaching allows you to deepen your understanding of your own leadership style, identifying strengths and pinpointing areas for improvement, and unleashing your full potential as a leader.

✨ Coaching provides a safe space for you to explore your concerns, tackle fears, and chase aspirations. It’s where you can develop a positive mindset while aligning behaviors with goals, and enhancing assertiveness. By tackling these challenges head-on, you build up that all-important confidence and lead with unwavering conviction.

✨ Coaching is centered around achieving measurable professional goals to professional success. It's about defining clear objectives, developing action plans, and having a coach in your corner to guide, motivate, and hold you accountable every step of the way.

Self-awareness isn't just a buzzword – it's the foundation of emotional intelligence and a necessary quality for effective leadership. Understanding ourselves and our impact on others is key to being a transformational leader.

🌟 Understand your strengths and weaknesses
🌟 Lean in with curiosity and ask yourself and others more questions
🌟 Take time to reflect on the impact you have on others
🌟 Don't shy away from feedback – seek it out!
🌟 Pay attention to your emotions and how they influence your behavior

“Until the lion/lioness tells her side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”

This quote was presented by Julian Guthrie at the ICAN women’s conference yesterday.

It made me choke up for a sec and even reading again this morning it hits hard.

What story are you telling yourself?
What story are you withholding because of fear?

I believe that EVERYONE is a leader.
And
Everyone has a responsibility within an organization, within their family and their life to have a growth mindset and reach for the best version of themselves.

It was a fabuday making new connections and getting to see dear friends who remind us to keep going.

I am a Leo and that means I have a lion heart. So I will chase failure over and over. I will tell my story without shame. The hunter will have no gloves and no time to tell her story.

Leading a team isn't just about calling the shots or setting targets—it's about forging genuine connections with the people you lead. And that's where emotional intelligence steps into the spotlight.

As an empathetic leader, you wield the superpower of stepping into someone else's shoes. This skill is priceless for nurturing your team, challenging stereotypes, delivering thoughtful feedback, and lending a compassionate ear when your team faces tough times.

But how do you boost your empathy as a leader? Here's a simple nugget of wisdom: tune into feelings, not just words. Take a moment to acknowledge the emotions driving their words and actions, and create a safe space for them to voice their needs and worries.

By developing empathy as a leader, you pave the way for a workplace brimming with positivity, upheld by team loyalty and mutual respect.

Ready to revolutionize your leadership style with empathy at the helm? Embrace the power of empathetic leadership and watch your team soar to new heights of success. Take the first steps of your transformative journey and learn to lead with compassion, understanding, and authenticity.

If you've ever tried to start a journaling routine, only to find yourself not sure what to write?

But here's a secret: let go of any expectations of what journaling "should" look like. Daily journaling, just five minutes a day, is a game changer.

It's not just about jotting down random thoughts. About five years ago, I ditched the idea of a “perfect” journal and these days, my journal is a treasure trove where I jot down my top 3 pillars, top 5 core values, yearly goals, quarterly goals, and daily reflections—all in one place! Here’s are some of the benefits I’ve discovered along the way:

⭐ A clearer mind and fresh perspectives
⭐ Heightened self-awareness
⭐ Spurts of creativity
⭐ Stress relief
⭐ Improved management of thoughts and emotions

Journaling isn’t about following strict rules, it’s about finding what works for you—a tool for self-expression and growth. ❤️
