I’m a speaker and author passionate about employee wellbeing because I have seen how poorly handled conflict can damage both people and performance. Organizations today face rising complaints, costly lawsuits, high turnover, and increased sick leave.

 

I equip leaders with effective conflict resolution strategies and practical tools for courageous workplace conversations so they can reduce risk, strengthen teams, and build cultures where people thrive.

​

My keynote is based on my book Work Shouldn’t Hurt and delivers actionable frameworks leaders can apply immediately.

 

I also believe leadership is service. I established a scholarship fund at Oakwood University, the university I attended, with a portion of my book proceeds supporting students in financial need.

 

I've been married for over 20 years and I am a proud mom of two teenagers. On Friday nights you will often find us gathered for pizza night, a simple reminder that healthy relationships matter everywhere.
