The secret to getting ahead?
For as long as I can remember, I believed that working harder, achieving more, and never making mistakes was the key to success. If I could prove myself through dedication, long hours, and saying ‘yes’ to every challenge, I would earn the recognition and opportunities I wanted. And for the most part, I did.
I advanced quickly—rising to Vice President at a Fortune 50 company and holding that role for half my career. But along the way, I learned that career growth isn’t just about effort. It’s about strategy, visibility, and knowing how to position yourself for the right opportunities at the right time.
I spent years pushing myself to excel, balancing the weight of leadership, team demands, and high expectations. And while I was seen as successful on the outside, I rarely felt like I could slow down or step back without losing momentum.
Then I retired from Corporate America.
For the first time in decades, I had the space to reflect—not just on my success, but on what it had cost me. When you’re in it, you just keep going. You push through exhaustion, sacrifice personal well-being, and stay relentlessly loyal to a company because that’s what high performers do. It’s what I did. But looking back, I saw something I had never let myself admit: there’s a better way to build a career—one that doesn’t require burnout as the price of success.
It wasn’t about working harder. It wasn’t about proving myself over and over. The professionals who move up with confidence and clarity aren’t necessarily the ones who work the hardest—they’re the ones who make the most strategic decisions.
Through my career, I had hired, coached, and promoted leaders at the highest levels. I knew exactly what separated those who effortlessly advanced from those who plateaued, even when they were just as talented. Success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things in the right way at the right time. And now, that’s exactly what I help other ambitious professionals master.
If you’re at a crossroads in your career—overwhelmed by leadership demands, unsure of your next move, or ready for the next level but uncertain how to get there—I can help.
It 's not what you think.
WHO I'M HERE FOR—
YEA, I'M TALKING TO YOU.
You've worked hard, followed the rules, and checked all the right boxes. But despite your experience and dedication, you’re still wondering: What’s the missing piece?
The truth is, career growth isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter with the right strategy. Without a plan, even the most talented professionals can find themselves stuck, overlooked, or undervalued.
That’s where I come in.
With my extensive HR experience, I know exactly how hiring and promotion decisions are made. I’ve helped high-achievers step into leadership, gain recognition, and take control of their careers with a clear, actionable roadmap.
If you’re tired of guessing your next move and are ready for a proven career strategy, let’s get started.

Yes, it really is "that cold" here and yes, the people really do live up to their "Minnesota nice" nickname.
I can whip together Ikea furniture like no one's business! What a skill, eh?
Rude, inconsiderate, mean people are the worst. Waiting in line is a solid runner-up.
