Why Lead with Heart?

As a woman living with bipolar disorder, anxiety, and an eating disorder, I have experienced the challenge of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while striving to achieve success in the workplace. I dedicated many years to reaching ambitious goals, only to find myself needing to take leave from work to focus on my health and recovery.

As I advanced in my career, I began to see the difference implementing the critical practices of Lead with Heart made both as a supervisor and for myself.

Through my professional expertise and leadership education, and informed by my lived experience, I have developed this course to share how honoring our emotions and health needs significantly impacts the lives of our teams and ourselves while improving business outcomes.
