I’m a mom, board member, speaker and leadership consultant. I have worked in the retail industry for most of my career, which eventually led me to take on a glass-breaking role as the first female EVP at Walmart Stores, Inc.
For years, I experienced numerous left turns in my life and career. From career shifts to becoming a parent, I faced many challenges I thought were truly insurmountable.
Still, I managed to rise above overwhelming challenges, never having a path set by others before me of what it means to be a leader, mom and wife.
I’m a trailblazer. And I have been blazing trails for championing women, children’s health, community impact and helping leaders excel. Although I was never perfect, I did manage to achieve success and significance the best way I knew how.
I want to show you essential ways to rise above the very real obstacles women face in life and career and help you paint a powerful vision for how far you can really go! More importantly, I want to give you a plan to help you achieve success, lead authentically and thrive professionally.
There are so many ways to be a leader, but the one who rises above adversity, inspires others and achieves their full potential is a leader who is gracious and strong.
