~Share something you are passionate about:
I am most passionate about seeing women step into their leadership, especially in world-changing endeavors. I love seeing the light in their eyes when they realize they have always been a leader and just needed to come out of hiding. I also believe the only way we can create true change in the world is by marrying the masculine qualities of Command with the feminine qualities of Influence to become true, comfluential™ leadership.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
I bring my expertise, message and teachings to audiences through my Awaken The Leader workshop, my book, speaking on stages across the country and the world, through radio, TV, podcasts, social media, and through individual training and mentoring.
~Describe something our readers today can look forward to discovering in your book, No One Stood Up When I Entered the Room: One Woman’s Journey from Command to True Leadership:
Through sharing my personal journey (with poignant and funny anecdotes along the way) from the masculine Command model of leadership to the feminine Influence model, I actually tell the story of all women in leadership – the masculine model we inherited and still see today which has stifled our true potential. It’s a passionate call – and a how-to – for women to tap into their full power for an influential, purposeful life. They will also discover a slice of how to work with Millennials, who so need our guidance and mentorship to take up the reins of change in this world.
