About
I am a seasoned executive coach and trusted advisor to high-growth companies looking to build cultures that focus on learning. I believe creating spaces that value growth requires us to lead by example, showing care for our teams, the people within them, and ourselves. I’ve learned being vulnerable isn’t easy for most of us, asking for feedback takes courage, and doing it regularly accelerates our effectiveness. I love seeing the look in someone's eyes when they discover the answer they were seeking was ultimately within themselves. When I’m not leading my company Flouracity, you’ll find me here writing about leadership, management, careers, and learning.

Do you say yes to everything? Industry experts explain the benefits of clearing your plate at work. If you're just starting out in management, it's not unusual to constantly feel obligated to say yes. When duty calls and other colleagues are requesting your time and commitment to engage in an upcoming project or take over a daily task, it's a natural instinct for most people to lean in. On the other hand, if you've been at your post for some time and have plenty of skin in the game, you've probably figured out by now that you can't take on everything without burning out. Learning to share growth opportunities with your staff members on a regular basis will also elevate your leadership skills and team relations in the workplace. Leading experts from Fast Company Executive Board are no longer hesitant to turn down a project that may sound good on paper but has the potential to keep them sidetracked and further away from their objectives. Here, they share the benefits of learning to say "no" under pressure and how essential it is to improve your work-life balance and reach your goals.
