That’s how I ensure that I can remain clear and pure, so when I support others, it’s untainted, and my focus is directed toward them. Second is my being grounded in my faith. I believe in spirituality and connection to something bigger than who I am. That connectedness keeps us bound to who we are as humans. The choices I make are guided by something much bigger than me. I'm blessed that my career has been so incredibly diverse, and that gives me phenomenal business acumen. In truth, I can show up in any area of the business I work in and still be connected to who God has called me to be. If people do that, especially our leaders, they’ll create thriving organizations. They can’t get there if they’re unwilling to see their truth. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The issue is disconnectedness and fearing their truth. Often, people are still holding onto the way things have been, the expectations of others and what others might say. We see companies that could be change agents that fear taking those steps because they believe what they should deliver today is more important than who they are in the long term. Now, we’re in more times of uncertainty than we've ever been. The only way you can return to that certainty is by being grounded in your truth. When leaders are grounded in their truth, they’ll be more confident and bolder in their business. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? I believe healing should be a part of how we operate. Some people think of healing like reiki or meditation, but I’m talking about the art of being centered within yourself and being willing to see life’s patterns. When we heal, everything around us changes. That’s what changes the world – it’s not simply technology. It’s the boldness to do something different to allow ourselves to be seen. Often, when people aren’t showing up with their whole selves, we're missing part of their brilliance. Healing helps you have the confidence to choose not to worry about people accepting who you are or what you say. I've been working on a program called “Catch Your Breath.” It’s about taking a mini sabbatical. It’s a combination of tools to help you re-center yourself. We carry so much weight that we don't even realize we’re going through everything happening to us. If you recount to someone everything they’ve endured, they would be surprised. When they pause, they can recognize that they’re not meant to carry that weight. We want them to give themselves moments to return to their center and truth. It allows them to move forward with proper grounding and broader perspectives. “Catch Your Breath” is a healing experience that helps people make choices that benefit them. I want people to live a remarkable life; encompassing healing and wellness is central to this work.
