As a leadership training expert with over 20 years of experience in the media industry, I thrive on cultivating and facilitating breakthroughs with executives, leaders and teams. From the essentials of ‘pivot moments’ during uncertain times, to why building a sustainable company culture is beyond employee flextime and ping pong tables, I am passionate about helping organizations understand that in order to drive innovation, be competitive, and ultimately, profitable, it’s imperative that people come first. And it all starts with an environment built on trust, respect and safety. When organizations operate with a mindset whereby valuing one another is not only a high priority, it's as "measured" and valued as the bottom line, they are operating in what I define as The Ready Zone: an environment in which the leader, the team, the employees, and the organization as a whole, are 100% committed to people feeling valued for who they are, their contribution, their humanity, and the value they bring to the table by being themselves. As Founder of The Ready Zone, I invite you to explore the proven, transformative, yet practical tools and systems that have helped many top executives and teams shatter leadership limits and thrive despite industry uncertainty, mergers, and consolidations.
