I climbed the corporate ladder at a refrigeration company in my 20s, thirsty for success… until the fire in me cooled down.

I then traded my 9-5 for a side hustle tutoring math, where I had begun a new love affair with teaching. What I lacked in credentials, I made up for in  determination! Pushing through fear, I trusted my gut to keep going and growing.

15 years later, I’m an Ivy League professor, international keynote speaker, executive coach, best-selling author, podcast host, and founder of The School of  Reinvention.

Today, I help people build resilience, and understand the practical steps necessary to turn a once-distant daydream, or yearning for more, into a bread-and-butter reality.

In this era of mass layoffs, burnout, and a global shift to sustainability, we want our work to matter. I’ve transformed setbacks like losing my job in 2008 and 2020 into life-changing opportunities. I’ve seen what else is possible.

Through my work, I’ve had the opportunity to serve over 250,000 people from 100 countries with hands-on content, inspiration, and safe learning spaces to build confidence and bridge connections, on the exciting road to reinvention.

To the corporate leader who stopped bouncing out of bed in the morning. To the laid-off worker mulling over what’s next. To the change-maker driven from within to create a lasting impact. It’s your one life to live. Now is the time!
