Passion

A born optimist with a successful corporate career as a foundation, I am inspired to help organizations apply principles and practices of Positive Psychology that awaken the human spirit at work and cultivate personal and organizational success.

 

The turning point for me came after completing a yearlong Positive Psychology Certification program with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar and Dr. Maria Sirois. While I've made meaningful contributions to the success of my teams, senior leaders and the companies I've work for, I'm committed to broadening my sphere of influence and helping more people reap the benefits of mastering the skill of optimism. 

 

Performance

With a background of more than 30 successful years in Strategic Communications, Organizational Development, Training and Leadership Coaching, I have a deep understanding of the challenges business leaders and their teams face and the expertise to help them overcome those challenges.

 

In addition to serving as the Chief Optimism Officer at Lincoln Financial Group, I held leadership roles at financial services companies TIAA, Genworth Financial, Capital One, and Wheat First Securities (predecessor to Wells Fargo Advisors). I also provided Communications and Media Relations Consulting Services to a range of clients including artists, entrepreneurs, technology firms and a media company. 

 

I look forward to partnering with you to bring lasting, positive change to your organization.
