Expertise from the Edge comes from a journey filled with failure, wrong turns, detours, leaning into fear and learning that uncomfortable is the only way to opportunity.   And because of ALL of it, I managed to achieve incredible success and expertise.  If you are not leading from the edge you are simply taking up too much space. Let me help you do the same!

Significant Career Contributions

If you are not leading from the edge you are taking up too much space.

Personal Relationships Success:  I have achieved success through exemplary networking and community-building skills and developed long-term personal and professional relationships locally, statewide and nationally, including partnerships with signature organizations i.e. Milwaukee Bucks, UW Badgers, WIAA, Madison Downtown Rotary leaders, National Association of Secondary School Principals, etc. I have skillfully supervised and developed hundreds of employees, volunteers, and interns.  I approach my relationships in a professional, collaborative way.  These relationships remain intact today, withstanding the test of time.

 

Synergistic Leadership Program Development: With my Doctorate in Administration and Leadership, I have applied disciplines of research and analysis to organizational structure. I have led the planning, targeting, relationship building and evaluation of proven leadership development curriculum and programming for thousands of school-age children and adults around the country.  I have engineered, organized, and facilitated small and large scale events at the state and national level. 

Communication Expertise:  I have led the planning and execution of all print materials, presentations, video, website and digital media, social media campaigns, and public speaking on behalf of various non-profits, ZENith, and my book – “Dropping the F-bomb”. I love to tell a good story to create synergy around any topic. A proven ambassador both in print and in speaking, successfully representing each organization I have worked for and for the community and national organizations I led as President – Madison Downtown Rotary, Rotary District 6250,  and NASSCED.
