I used to chase leadership. Now I light the path for others to lead. After many years of learning from brilliant mentors, I’m paying it forward—because leadership isn’t a solo act, it’s a relay. It’s not just about what you build. It’s about who you help build next. 🔥 New.

The goal isn't to keep people forever. It's to help them grow—even if that growth takes them beyond your team or your org. We don’t own talent. We steward it. And sometimes, the greatest impact we make is preparing someone for their next chapter—even when it’s not with us.

🚨 Keynote Alert – IAACD International Congress 2025 🚨.📍 Heidelberg, Germany | 🗓 June 25, 2025. When I was born, the world had a very narrow view of what I could become. Now, I have the opportunity to speak to the global leaders who are changing that view for every child.

It's time we update our language to match the inclusive culture we claim to build. As a professional with a disability, I’ve heard too many metaphors that unintentionally exclude:. "Walk a mile in their shoes". "Can you walk the talk?". "Let’s crawl, walk, run". These phrases.
