CHAMPION OF INTRINSIC LEADERSHIP

At the heart of my philosophy is a simple truth: exceptional leadership begins within.

This foundational belief stems from understanding that the outer success of any team directly reflects the internal journey of its leader. It is only through personal transformation that leaders can truly inspire, guide, and elevate those around them, achieving remarkable outcomes without succumbing to burnout.

From my beginnings as an immigrant from Panama to becoming the first Latina Vice President in Alaska's largest telecommunications company, and now a celebrated thought leader, my journey is a testament to the power of internal growth. Surviving a near-death experience due to burnout, I transformed my adversity into a platform for advocacy and educaPhoto Gallerytion, empowering leaders to thrive through self-awareness and intentional action.With over twenty years of experience reshaping the dynamics of Corporate America, I have dedicated myself to mentoring leaders across diverse sectors such as healthcare, technology, telecommunications, banking, real estate, and STEM.
