Governance and Leadership Executive Advisor - Founder

Self-funded and launched a one of a kind leadership program for Emerging Leaders. Members of these circles meet monthly. REMIA is about developing self-mastery through self-awareness, self-leadership and self-knowledge. Members learn to develop a beautiful capacity to be present, centered and collected regardless of what occurs on the outside; not an easy task but achievable with commitment and practice. Members learn to develop clarity about what matters to them, to be clear about their core values and to live their lives with clarity of purpose. Members develop the maturity and clear intentions to honor who they are and what they really care to achieve across all sectors of their life: Career, relationships, physical/health, personal finances/budgeting, body/mind/spirit alignment and leisures. It is about having a clear vision of one's self, defining clear intentions to manifest this vision, and learning to focus with attention on our intentions. As a result the participants mature, experience balance in their lives and feel that they have a life that is truly in alignment with who they are at their core. All members become happier, more fulfilled and become a source of inspiration for their families, colleagues and friends. The leaders develop strong self-esteem, self-confidence and aspire to develop relationships that work. It is a highly rewarding program for the participants and for me as their mentor and facilitator.

The 2020 Women on Boards (2020 WOB) Board of Leaders is composed of CEOs and Directors of public and private companies and prominent individuals who bring thought leadership to our society as a whole. Their support of the 2020 WOB mission is central to the national dialog about the positive role gender diversity plays in creating a better future.
