Before You Read The GreenLight Factor, Meet the Woman Who Lived It

Every book has a story behind it. This one is mine.

Before The GreenLight Factor existed as a book, it existed as a life. A series of roles, rooms, and relationships that quietly shaped everything I now know about leadership.

I want to do something I don’t always make time for: properly introduce myself. Not just my credentials, but the journey behind them.

I Am a Certified Master Leadership Coach

This isn’t a title I hold lightly. Becoming a Certified Master Leadership Coach meant times of deep study, practice, and honest self-examination. It means I have sat across from myriads of leaders. Leaders at all levels and helped them find what was already inside them.

The greatest coaching insight I have ever received? The green light is rarely about permission from the outside. It’s about permission from within.

I was recognized for exemplary service within the community. As a result, I continue my quest to help Crown the Next Generation. Being the strategic leader and archetect behind the 30 Under 30 Emerging Leader in Washington DC, is testament to my commitment to emerging leadership development. I have served as Chief Judge and now working towards celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the program in June.

There is nothing more powerful than watching a young leader step into their own green light.

I Led HR Strategy Across the Andina & Caribe Region for a Big Pharma Company

Operating across cultures, languages, and borders taught me that leadership is not one-size-fits-all. The best leaders I encountered, and tried to be, were the ones who led with both strategy and soul. Who understood that behind every org chart is a human being trying to do meaningful work.

That experience is woven into every page of this book.

I Served as VP of the Hospitality & Human Resource Association of Broward County (HHRABC), FL and President of the Writers Group of South Florida

I have always believed that leadership must extend beyond the walls of any organization. Community leadership taught me that showing up especially when no one is keeping score, is one of the most important things a leader can do. And leading a writers’ group? That lit a fire in me that culminated from my other books on leadership, success, inspiration and faith.

And Now, here’s my Newest Book

The GreenLight Factor is the book I wish I’d had at the beginning of my leadership journey.

It’s not a manual. It’s a mirror. A roadmap built from real experiences. It exemplifies the wins, the pivots, the moments of doubt. The breakthroughs that came when I finally stopped waiting for someone else to give me permission to lead boldly.

I wrote it for the leader who knows they are capable of more but keeps waiting for the “right” moment. For the professional who has been told to wait their turn. For anyone who has ever dimmed their own light to make others more comfortable.

Your green light is already on.

One More Thing

If you stay around long enough, you will also learn that I am a mom to two incredibly driven, slightly workaholic adult children who work in the corporate world. I take partial credit and full responsibility for any overachieving tendencies. 😄

And I am grand mom to two dogs, one a beagle. Who are without question the wisest members of my youngest household. These dogs are the greatest teacher of strategic rest I have ever encountered.

I share all of this not to show you that the path to this book was not a straight line. It was a full, layered, beautifully imperfect leadership journey.

And that’s exactly what The GreenLight Factor is about.

Thank you for being here. Follow along. The best is yet to come.

💚 With purpose.
