Because I’ve been in the game, led teams through change, and learned exactly what it takes to win in business without sacrificing who you are.

Workplace Strategist | Faith-Based Mentor | Founder of Workplace Woke

20 years in Silicon Valley Tech

Sales, Global Cyber Transformation, Customer Success, and Change Management. Basically, I’ve seen (and shifted) it all.

Credentials with character. Insight with integrity.

Brains, backbone, and a bias for doing right.

Systems-thinking. Strategic guts. Soul-led wisdom.

Workplace reform needs more than tactics—I bring the trifecta.

Shifting from individual contributor to management at a Fortune 100 company wasn’t the peak—it was the pivot. It launched me into coaching, strategy, and transformation work I was always meant to lead. That corporate chapter may have closed, but the calling didn’t.


Now I help high-achievers lead boldly, build cultures that reflect their values, and grow careers that feel like theirs, not just ones that follow outdated rules.

I've Walked the Walk (and Lived the Lessons)
I don’t just teach leadership—I’ve lived it. From high-pressure sales floors to global transformation, I know what it’s like to juggle impossible targets, shifting priorities, and the relentless pressure to "prove" yourself—even when your results speak volumes.

Faith-Driven. People-First. Always.
Corporate culture tells you to keep your head down, play the game, and blend in. I say forget that. I help ambitious professionals own their voice, protect their peace, and lead with values that actually matter.

No Copy-Paste Fixes—Only Frameworks That Fit
You won’t find one-size-fits-all advice here. Whether I’m coaching execs or seasoned pros, I build custom strategies that reflect the leader, the team, and the moment they’re in because growth should never be generic.

Tired of leading like everyone else?

You’ve outgrown the old rules. Same here. Let’s build new ones that make work work.
