Turning Potential Into Results
Use your anger to recover yourself.
My commitment is to encourage you to lead, yourself and others, by discovering, developing, and being yourself. Inviting you to see the movie “Women Talking” coupled with sharing Sonya Chemaly’s well-researched, conscious-raising Rage Becomes Her: The power of women’s anger does that in spades for me.

What’s that you felt & suppressed?
Self-awareness is essential whether you’re leading others or just yourself. Regardless of your gender, if you haven’t already, please, please, please watch Women Talking. Don’t watch it because it won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2023 Academy Awards. Watch it for the timelessness and timeliness of the message. It stirred and disturbed me deeply. It…
