If you or someone special to you aspires to be a best-ever boss, the kind of leader who inspires everyone around them to be the best they can be, you've come to the right place. Each of my books are enjoyable to read and they are full of compelling real-life success stories about real people in well-known, highly respected companies. By weaving together real-life lessons learned by amazing role-model leaders—together with my own career-climb findings and my experiences as an executive coach and consultant—my goal is to inspire you and give you confidence that you, too, can be a best-ever boss. I am sure you will find that The WOW Factor Workplace will change your expectations for achieving joy and fulfillment from your job. Heartfelt Leadership will change your expectations of those who lead. Women on Top will transform the way women pursue their careers and it will awaken those who believe in them. Strong Suit will take you on a deeper dive into what it takes to position for and thrive in executive leadership. These books are the kind that MBA schools should be encouraging students to read. They not only bring to life all the buzz words people use about leadership, but they tell you what you really need to know to become one of the best and most beloved leaders around. Armed with the knowledge that you gain from these books, you will be able to take not only your own career, but your entire organization, to the next level and beyond. I now encourage you crack open any one of my books and soak in everything it has to offer. Perhaps one of these days I can even interview YOU for an upcoming book.
