Hi friend, There’s a moment in every big leap where something shifts inside you. For me, that moment came during one of the hardest seasons of my life—a season where I was suddenly reminded that time is precious, purpose matters, and unfinished work has a way of tapping you on the shoulder. That’s when one sentence came to me, clear as day: “It all happens in the meeting room.” After 31 years in the energy industry — leading, stumbling, learning, and leading again — I looked back and realized something simple but true: Every breakthrough, every conflict, every turning point in my career happened inside a meeting room. And no one ever taught me how to orchestrate those moments. That’s why I knew I had to write The Meeting Room. Not because the world needed another leadership book, but because so many people step into leadership without being equipped to lead the rooms where leadership actually happens. This book became the resource I wish I’d had decades ago—the one that would have saved me from a handful of messy meetings, sleepless nights, and “I wish I had handled that differently” moments. Over the next few emails, I want to take you behind the scenes of my book author journey—the clarity, the chaos, the creativity, and the quiet courage it took to finish this book during one of the most challenging chapters of my life. I’m grateful you’re here with me. More soon, P.S. Here’s the Amazon link to my book: https://a.co/d/1QpVuFi If you have already finished the book, leaving a review would help the book reach more readers who need to hear this message. |
I possess a deep passion for helping individuals unlock their leadership potential and make a positive impact on the world.
Happy New Year! Thank you. For reading my blog, visiting the site, buying the book, and staying connected across social media. Your engagement tells me this work is landing where it matters. Here's what I keep watching in real organizations. Change fails when the conversations aren't designed to hold clarity, tension, and actual decisions. Meetings show you that gap fast. That's the work I'm staying focused on in 2026. Building on what's already working—the Meeting ROI App and The Meeting...
Yesterday, I had a thoughtful conversation on Janelle Villiers’ podcast about something I see leaders struggle with every day. Most leaders don’t need more authority. They need a better way to lead the room. We talked about what happens when leaders stop trying to control meetings and start orchestrating them instead. Not by talking more. Not by tightening the agenda. But by paying attention to energy, structure, and presence. One of the biggest takeaways from our conversation was this: Your...
Merry Christmas, friends. As the year winds down and the pace finally slows, I’ve been thinking about the rooms we’ve all walked through this year. The meetings. The conversations. The quiet moments of doubt. The small wins that didn’t always get applause. This season has a way of reminding us what really matters. Not perfection.Not having all the answers.But presence, intention, and choosing to show up with care. If this year stretched you, you’re not alone.If it clarified something for you,...
