  • Nov 2020 - Present

  Mission: "We are Creating a Platform for Caring People to do Extraordinary Good" and ultimately reducing suffering for a billion+ people. LifeGuides is creating a peer-to-peer, live conversation network, to simplify Life Challenges. We use technology to facilitate empathetic, human-to-human connection and customized content delivery. Every human goes through Life Challenges. They come at any age and take many forms, from having your first child, to battling a disease, immigrating to the USA, or facing the death of a loved one. Like Match.com pairs people for love, and Doctors On Demand finds doctors for patients, we match a Client to a Guide, who has been through the client’s specific Life Challenge. Every Client & Guide is supported by our Intelligence Assistance™ software platform, which customizes content delivery and optimizes the Member-Guide connection. My role is focused on introducing and connecting future partners and collaborative relationships as well as supporting the "Rebels With a Heart - The New Rules of Leadership" brand as well as supporting the LifeGuides Team to create, innovate and improve partner/member experiences as we scale.

Contribution Community

• United States
• Human Resources Services

• Founding Member

  • Mar 2020 - Present

  The Contribution Community is made up of senior-level executives, primarily in the HR space, who are committed to sharing resources and growing together as we seek to help our organizations move from fear-based policies to love-based practices. This concept was developed and created by folks who’ve worked for decades in HR, started companies, made movies, and committed themselves to seeing business become an expression of our best humanity. What was originally going to be a one-time summit in Phoenix, Arizona evolved into an online peer group/tribe in response to COVID-19 and the pandemic. Show less
