My Story

I joined a family-owned, mid-sized legal technology company when I began my career. Almost immediately, I was thrust into a managerial role—not because of any inherent leadership abilities, but because the organization was undergoing rapid expansion, and the CEO needed help managing that growth. Being young and eager, I embraced the opportunity.
 

However, stepping into this role presented a challenge: I lacked a mentor or coach to guide me, a common issue in many small to mid-sized businesses. Determined to succeed, I took matters into my own hands. Weekends became my time for devouring management and leadership books, while weekdays were spent applying these lessons. Admittedly, my early efforts were met with setbacks, but every stumble became a stepping stone.
 

Over the next decade, I refined my skills through trial and error, developing a deep understanding of what it takes to lead organizations and inspire teams. I became a perpetual "student of the game," always seeking new ways to improve and adapt. This journey fuels my passion for sharing knowledge and helping others.
 

Why I’m Here
 

  • I know what it feels like to step into a new role and need a guide to succeed.

  • I understand the struggles organizations face when trying to grow but lacking a clear strategy.

  • I recognize the challenges leaders encounter in building, motivating, and sustaining high-performance teams.
     

For all these groups, my blog is here to serve as one of the many resources in your toolkit. My goal is to create a space where we can learn together, exchange ideas, and grow as leaders and innovators.
