Talks Story With Me - Bringing Excitement, Hope & Confidence Back to Business.
I am a woman on a mission, who happens to live in Hawai’i, who loves people, and loves to serve the community. Pursuing my education launched me into a calling to help elevate the trajectory of others. Although I have decades of leadership experience, it took me a while to zero in on my purpose and passion and I am driven to share strategies for activating the highest levels of leadership mastery with my company, Talk Story With Me LLC. Why Talk Story With Me, you ask?
In Hawai'i, Talk Story means truly investing the time to get to know someone. You share a conversation to learn more about who the person is and what is important to them. Bringing up business before you "talk story" is poor etiquette. I gravitate to this tradition because I believe in creating relationships and not transactional business processes. Allow me to share more:
MISSION
My passion is in empowering leaders and fueling them with the knowledge and confirmation of their competence - to rid the feeling of being overwhelmed or faux imposter syndrome.

Public Speaking
While pursuing my doctorate, my research delved into potential bias of female leadership and the accuracy of leadership competency assumptions.
With my signature talk “The Irrefutable Competence of Our Leadership” for your event, I can take your audience on a game-changing journey and put them on an elevated trajectory toward realized human potential, visionary impact, and an iconic professional legacy.
Attendees who implemented what I taught quickly fostered profoundly engaged cultures. Many of those same leaders have ascended to high level roles at multinational organizations.
