I’ve been where you are, the before the leap energy is big.
In 2023 I left what looked from the outside like a dream job leading a global business at Google Cloud. I’d planned to leave for a full year before I finally did it. For me, the journey into self knowing required that I extract myself from corporate and pivot my energy to projects and experiments like Liminal Space, ERA and Salt and Soul Beach House that pushed me to bring myself to market after years of bringing tech solutions and alliances to market and it was not easy. When I went back to corporate after that break, I was a different kind of leader on many fronts.
My credentials beyond my own story include an Integral Coach certification via New Ventures West in San Francisco (2022), Yoga Teacher Training through Synergy Yoga and Ayurveda in Seattle (2020) and hundreds of hours of meditation and mindfulness courses and retreats.
My career started in Public Relations in 1999 and after joining the .com layoff club of 2001 I meandered through restaurants, real estate, event planning, corporate BD and tech sales before a well timed 15 years run launching and running strategic partnerships for Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
This blend of mindfulness and business development expertise helps my clients align their vision to their truth, fully trust their most difficult decisions and make their pitch or presence impossible to ignore.
I live in my hometown of Seattle with my sweet family who has helped me see myself in ways I might otherwise overlook. The picture below is me and my girls beach walking in Port Townsend, WA.
