My Story

From teen mom, college failure, and alcohol abuser to author, speaker, podcaster, entrepreneur, wife, mom with a doctoral degree, and over a decade of experience as a top executive I know what it takes to overcome challenges and succeed. In 2023, I left my twenty-five year career in higher education to pivot and launch a new firm where I serve as the Founder and CEO of StraHERgies LLC, an Executive Leadership Development consultancy that works with current and aspiring executives and managers on setting strategy, developing goals, teambuilding, and retreat facilitation to establish or enhance a healthy & productive workplace culture. In this capacity I take the life and leadership lessons learned and written about in my book, Better. Not Perfect-From Hot Mess To Life Success to work with teams and individuals on resolving conflicts, and building intergroup connections and high performance. Book me to work with your organization today!

 

Are you an individual who is bored or frustrated at work? Let's figure out why and whether it's time to seek new challenges and opportunities within or outside of your current organization. Through individual career/life strategy coaching I engage with you in "purpose positioning" work using the Better. Not Perfect method, a 3-Step Process That Increases Self-Awareness, Builds Self-Love, and Positions You for Authentic and Unapologetic Living in your Personal and Professional life. I partner with you as you pivot into purpose for the next season of life and help you develop your personalized action plan.
