What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a combination of things including the confidence built over time, deep support from my family of origin and my current family, and the patience to let growth unfold in seasons. The flexibility and partnership of my husband created space for me to evolve without fragmentation from competing passions.
My clients and colleagues have been some of my greatest teachers, shaping how I think and lead through shared work and trust. They helped me see the need for creating InnerVue. Above all, my passion for purposeful service and my faith in God have grounded my work in meaning beyond myself.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice is to focus on earning respect rather than simply being agreeable, actively seek feedback, protect your reputation, and build strong emotional self-management and diplomatic conflict-resolution skills.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are clear communication, accountability, humility, integrity, and maintaining unconditional positive regard for people simply for being human.
