TALKING LEADERSHIP
I truly believe that strong leadership can make or break a business, or a team.
I have made it my mission to find the top minds on leadership philosophy and discuss what they believe sustainable leadership looks like.
We do this by studying psychology, neurolinguistics, and leadership philosophies; and also by finding up-and-coming authors, philosophers, mental health professionals, and industry leaders.
Speaking & Workshops
I have shared my findings in Leadership with over 20,000 leaders & aspiring leaders via workshops, online coaching, and our virtual Live Leaders Talk Sessions on LinkedIn & YouTube.
Our live sessions have accumulated over 40K hours of viewership time.
The culmination of the knowledge shared is truly invaluable to anyone, even if they are simply a leader in their family unit or a CEO of a multinational.
MY FIRST BUSINESS
I had no clue what I was doing; all I knew was that I loved recruitment while working at Philip Morris International, and I was not being given more career opportunities in that field.
So, I did what any semi-sane person would do...
I launched a business with a limited budget, and forged my own career path.
PUBLICATIONS
Publishing articles on my platforms - SpartanSC & Leaders Talk - has allowed me to network with scholars, LinkedIn Learning Instructors, and more.
This has helped develop me as a corporate professional but also has helped me serve my clients better across the globe.
Sharing my own authentic ideas built on the shoulders of giants, and my own experience has given me my own foundational philosophies on leadership, consulting, and life in general.
