Hey Reader,

I don't come from money, but I did grow up in an affluent area.

Neither of my parents had corporate jobs. They worked tirelessly owning their own businesses instead.

It's clear where I caught the entrepreneurial bug from, but this blue-collar background meant I wasn't like my friends.

Their parents came home from work at 5pm. They talked about their day at dinner. They absorbed lessons about how the workplace really worked -- the unwritten rules, the politics, the things that matter but no one tells you.

I didn't get that.

But I did have something else: I was perceptive. Sensitive, even.

I understood people. I paid attention to what wasn't being said:

• The tension in a room
• The shift in someone's tone
• The subtext underneath the words.

That skill led me to study psychology, become a licensed therapist, and eventually build a company helping professionals decode what's REALLY happening around them at work.

What I've learned from working with thousands of clients is...

You can be 10, 15, even 20 years into your career and still feel like you're missing the handbook.

You're good at your job. You deliver results. But you're still trying to figure out how to navigate the politics, how to communicate in ways that make executives actually listen, how to position yourself for the next level when the rules feel unclear.

That's why I created my best-selling coaching program, Speak Like a Senior Leader™.

Doors for the next cohort open very soon in early December.

Spots sold out in record time the first round. And I'm capping enrollment again because the program includes live coaching, and I want to make sure everyone gets the attention they need.

The best way to secure your spot?

I'll be opening doors during that training, plus you'll get the exact roadmap to distill your ideas quickly, handle pushback without getting defensive, and position your work in ways that get you pulled into bigger conversations.

This framework turns office politics from something frustrating and opaque into something you can actually decode and navigate strategically.

A Black Friday gift-to-self?

One of my all-time best purchases in the last few years has been my Oura ring (referral code). Yes, the sleep tracking is great, but the real game-changer for me has been the daytime stress tracking and HRV monitoring. It showed me exactly when my nervous system was spiking during the day, which let me redesign my schedule and stress management around data and what my body actually needed.
