ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

What do you want your life to look like personally and professionally in one year?

If that question overwhelms you, don’t worry. When you work with me, I help you develop a clear, bold answer by leading you through my North Star Visioning Process.

Our subsequent coaching conversations focus on designing actions you can take to close the gap between where you are and your vision. Along the way, I help you develop healthy habits and reframe limiting beliefs that undermine your confidence and keep you stuck. [Learn more]

If you want a strong organization that achieves incredible results, you must invest in building strong team culture.


TEAM BUILDING RETREATS

As a leader, you are responsible for creating a strong team culture. I can help by designing and delivering a retreat that your team can’t stop raving about.

Culture is simply how it feels to come to work every day. High-performing teams have trust, respect, strong relationships and value the unique contributions of its members.

The pandemic and hybrid/remote work have made culture building hard, but I can help you reconnect to each other and the mission. [Learn more]


MY BOOK: THE JOY OF THRIVING WHILE BLACK

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

-Maya Angelou

The phrase “while Black” was coined to signal the dangers that Black people sometimes face doing everyday things like driving, jogging and holding a cell phone. The Joy of Thriving While Black turns that idea on its head.

I can bring the insights from the book and lessons learned while writing it to your next book club meeting, conference or employee resource group event. [Learn more]
