TRAUMA-INFORMED HUMAN CONNECTION EXPERT & MULTI-AWARD-WINNING STORYTELLER
ORGANIZATIONAL CONNECTION MADE ME A WINNER
I have always been obsessed with human connection. My success is contingent on building teams that feel connected to each other, developing projects that connect with consumers and connecting with strangers to earn their trust before sharing their stories. These skills have earned me and my teams two Emmy Awards, five Emmy Award nominations and a Critics Choice Award nomination.
THE PATH TO SUCCESS
Early in my career I witnessed the profound difference between the product outcomes of connected vs disconnected teams: when they trusted each other and their leader, the sky was the limit. When they didn’t, they hit that limit before the metaphorical 5 o’clock whistle. So when I became the boss, I took a human-first approach to leadership that enabled me to connect with top talent, generate out-of-the-box innovation and deliver stellar results.
But it took a while to get there. Like many who move quickly up the ladder, I was catapulted to the top with no real management training. It took a lot of trial and (often embarrassing) error to perfect the Connected Leadership style I’m now known for.
THE CONNECT5 DIFFERENCE
I’ve combined all those years of executive experience with certifications in Trauma-Informed Practices and Psychological Safety to launch Connect5, your hub for building greater human connection in life and at work. We provide personal and organizational top-down training and support for those who want to maximize productivity, revenue and well-being with a connected, symbiotic organization.
Disconnection limits growth; connection fuels it. Connect5 is your partner in developing the human-centered strategies that lead to limitless success.
I can’t wait to get you connected.
