2025 has been a wild ride! After 10+ years helping leaders navigate big pivots, this year I found myself in one.
Last fall, everything shifted at once:
✨ Launched a focused Business Alignment Accelerator
🏡 Fulfilled my dream of owning real estate in Oakland
🌿 Stepped into a leadership role in my business community
At the same time, a new U.S. presidency was stirring fear and uncertainty across the Bay Area. (Remember Election Day 2024?)
By spring, every conversation revealed instability in businesses large and small, including my own: revenue down, contracts ending, clients pulling out. Business owners hesitated to invest. Employees braced for layoffs.
We all faced the same question: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁?
And how do you decide from empowerment, not panic?
When I needed direction, I turned to my story.
- Where do I come from?
- How did I become the Mae of today?
- How do I envision my life in 10 years?
My story reminded me why I’m here: to help people live their mission through meaningful, fulfilling work.
✨ And now, I’m expanding that mission to support corporate executives ready to deepen their sense of purpose inside their workplaces too.
If the shifting tides of 2025 have you rethinking your next steps, join me this Friday for 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮, 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚. We’ll use your lived experience as a compass for what’s next — whether that’s a new job, business, or mission.
