Work with a business psychologist without the corporate price tag!
Working with a business psychologist offers an unparalleled understanding of human behavior, cognitive processing, and emotional regulation as it relates to your business. All of which have a tremendous impact on decision-making, stress management, motivation, innovation, productivity, resilience, customer experience, revenue, and longevity. You now have access to the same resources as large corporations who work with business psychologists for a competitive advantage.
Think about it, large organizations have unlimited financial resources, expansive marketing budgets, and the ability to hire the best talent possible, and yet are eagerly seeking out business psychologists, I/O psychologists, and neuroscientists to help them improve, grow, and sustain long-lasting success. They hire professionals like us because they understand it takes more than robust strategies, automated systems, skilled employees, and a great product or service these days.
We now have the science-based and evidence-backed knowledge about the impact of more direct and accessible ways to improve motivation, understand consumer buying decisions, improve productivity through more brain-friendly practices, develop greater emotional intelligence to improve communication and problem-solving, address underlying issues, and maximize what is creating growth.
You need solutions to potential ongoing challenges such as focus, productivity, motivation, stress-reduction, and improved wellbeing at work.
You are an entrepreneur or small-business owner.
You seek greater insight and understanding to become more effective and efficient in business.
You want support that is more specific to your needs and that of your business.
You've found traditional coaching and professional development programs less effective than you anticipated.
You seek leadership and professional development that is backed by science.
You want to better understand your customers decision-making and be more effective in your communication style.
You are already considering working with a business or leadership coach.
Collaborating with a business psychologist can often yield more substantial and long-lasting benefits for a business owner compared to working with a traditional coach or participating in conventional professional development programs. Here are the key reasons why:

Women Lead Company was birthed not because of my educational ambitions and entrepreneurial spirit, but because of my commitment to help others heal, grow, and create a better path for themselves. The single mom with a newborn who is so sleep deprived and scared she feels lost and alone. A woman who has left an abusive relationship and searching for the path that will best support her moving forward. The woman temporarily homeless in her car with her son and her dog not sure how to dig herself out. The entrepreneur who wants to assure her business is growing and sustainable. The woman waking up to how past trauma and depression has shaped her current life choices and determined to create something more beautiful for herself and her loved ones. The woman ready to start her "second act" in her career and be her own boss.
This company exists for all women, and we work with the knowingness and understanding that life can require much more than simple catch phrases, old beliefs, and vague theories. We deserve the very best practices and tools that are not only available but also evidence based.
My career path has been 28 years of equal parts consulting, counseling and entrepreneurship, with an educational emphasis on neuroscience principles, emotional intelligence work, leadership, resilience, and mindfulness. A few of the phenomenal educators I studied under, trained with, and learned from include Dr. Dan Siegal, Jack Kornfield, Flee Maul, Sharon Salzberg, Janine Moon, David Rock, Elana Rosenbaum, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Alex Howard, and Dr. Kristan Jones.
Education:
Master of Science in Business Psychology

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) Certified
Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness Trained
I'm here to support you, share knowledge with you, and learn and grow along with you.
