Leading with Emotional Intelligence
Understanding “EQ,” the “IQ” of Emotional Maturity
Read the articleLeading a team takes energy. I want leaders to have enough left for their own lives, too. I care about teams where people can tell the truth and ask for help without having to manage everything alone.
Meet Me and what I believe
As Senior Vice President of Education and Training at CEDIA, I led global teams and worked with the board on strategy. My responsibilities spanned workforce development, industry standards, and partnerships connecting education with career opportunities.
I’ve also led operations for an education nonprofit, developed leadership training for federal agencies, and directed statewide literacy programs. Alongside those roles, I taught at Indiana University. I bring that breadth of experience to your team and stay personally involved, from preparation through follow-up.
