“The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen.”- Simon Sinek

 

Leading a team can be VERY daunting. It feels like it holds a lot of responsibility and no matter how many training and service manuals you read, you never feel fully prepared for the human and energetic aspects of leadership. And at the same time, you are so excited to have the opportunity to be in this seat and be able to put your own spin on it because you know you are ready for it.

Defining your leadership style and growing your confidence is not a linear process. We usually follow by example which can cause disconnect from within and that never feels yummy.

 

We help you rewrite this narrative.

She empowers her clients and students to redefine hospitality from the inside out, guiding them back to themselves through the power of accountability and alignment.
