I FOUND MY PURPOSE

I FOUND MY PURPOSE

HOW IT ALL STARTED

A woman standing against a colorful mural wall, wearing a black blazer, patterned black and white pants, and black shoes.

My career began inside Fortune 50 organizations, where I led teams, drove results, and climbed the ladder just like I was supposed to.

But along the way, I learned something most people never say out loud: success without meaning quietly drains you. Today, as one of the first Gallup Certified Strengths® Coaches in the world, I bring together deep corporate experience and strengths-based insight to help leaders and teams create work that feels purposeful, energizing, and truly their own.

One ordinary Saturday at the grocery store changed the course of my life.

A man I once managed walked up to me and introduced himself. I could not remember his name, even though I was the person who had let him go weeks earlier. Standing there with his family, I realized how far I had drifted from the kind of leader and human being I wanted to be.

That moment became my wake-up call. I knew I wanted to do work that made people feel seen, valued, and capable. Work that helped people wake up excited to use their gifts instead of just surviving another day.

Not long after, I discovered the world of strengths-based development through the book Now, Discover Your Strengths. It felt like finding a map back to who I really was. I went on to become one of the first Gallup Certified Strengths® Coaches in Texas and in the world, and I have since guided more than 15,000 people on a journey to understand what makes them strong.

Today, I get to do what I love most: help people use what they already have inside them to create lives and careers that feel aligned, powerful, and deeply fulfilling.
