You see the happy version. The confidence. The content.
The sponsorships, the airtime, the applause.
You think, “Wah, she made it!”
But let me tell you what else I am.
I’m someone who talks too fast and interrupts too much.
Who thought being ‘right’ mattered more than being kind.
Who once believed giving tough love had to be cold and hard.
Who thought leadership meant doing everything myself to prove I could.
I used to mistake silence for loyalty.
I used to micromanage because I was afraid of mistakes.
I used to chase results so fast, I left people behind.
But the people who left me – and the ones who stayed – taught be better.
Now, I speak less and listen more.
I give credit more generously. I say thank you more than I say, “FIX IT!”
I hold space for failure and growth.
I pause before reacting (omg, this is so important!).
I’ve grown from the kind of manager I wouldn’t want to work for…
Into the kind of boss I wish I had when I was just starting out.
That’s why I created my Leadership Reboot Workshop.
To help other managers make the shift I did.
From reactive to reflective.
We don’t need perfect leaders. We just need more human ones.
I want to be me.
And I want you to become the best version of you, too.
