"Great Leaders are first and foremost Great Human Beings in touch with their inner selves, their humanity. From here they are truly able to create Great Organisations that in turn create Great Results" Tex Gunning
In today's ever increasing global business climate, it's becoming clear that business as usual is no longer competitive. Organizations realize that investing in people and raising the bar to develop talent, innovation and collaborative work enviornments based on shared values is the only way to create sustainable business. They also realize that they carry a responsibility because of the great impact they have on the lives of their employees, the communities surrounding them, and the planet as a whole. In order for everyone to thrive, organizations and especially the leaders of organizations must develop certain Authentic Leadership capabilities and an understanding of Conscious Business for forward movement. I help leaders of organizations, social enterprises and emerging women leaders to develop the inner self-leadership skills needed for the 21st century.
I'm particularly passionate about working with emerging women leaders as I believe we need an expanded presence of women leaders within organizations. The growing gap and lack of women mentors for younger women leaders is evident. There is a distinct new feminine leadership style iemerging. Next generation women leaders are setting their own rules to play by fitted for for the challenges of the 21st century that begin with leading with authenticity, empathy, compassion and whole system awareness. This paradigm shift from a heirarchical structure of leadership to one that is based in heart and gut leadership will allow for the innovation and collaboration necessary for sustainable business to thrive. My work focuses on emerging women leaders to help take them to the next level through developing authentic feminine leadership skills.
I hold a BS in Business Marketing and managed large scale conferences and events at eBay, Inc., gaining invaluable corporate and business experience. In 2008, I transitioned towards a new career and became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach through CTI. In 2008, I founded Highest Path to help people create change and transformation in their lives and have worked as a leadership and executive coach since 2011. My specialty lies in creating worshops, trainings and retreats on themes of Developing Self-Confidence for Women, Effective Presenting Skills, Authentic Feminine Leadership, and Compassionate Communication. I also offer individual coaching and consulting.
An avid world-traveller having visited over 20 countries internationally, I've lived in the UK, Italy and Holland, and I currently split my time between the US and Europe.
