3 Things I’ll NEVER Do as a Life & Leadership Coach

After 8 years in this work and helping over 1,000 people transform their lives, I’ve learned what actually moves the needle and what keeps us stuck.

Here’s what I’ll never do:

1. Punish myself when I fall short. Self-punishment doesn’t create change, it perpetuates the same cycle of hate and conflict we’re trying to heal in the world. Compassion is the only real catalyst for growth.

2. Chain myself to my past. The moment you over-identify with who you were, you box yourself in. Your history informs you, but it doesn’t define your capacity for what’s next.

3. Process my problems exclusively with AI. Not every relationship is designed to hold your deepest work. Real transformation requires intentionality in how we speak to ourselves, how we honor our journey, and what we invite into our process. A computer isn’t a human being.

What’s one pattern you’ve had to unlearn on your own growth journey?

When you don’t listen to your own voice, you start living based on other people’s standards.

I’m nearing the finish line of the Cincinnati African American Chamber Executive Business Accelerator Program—a nine-month journey focused on mastering business fundamentals and scaling for growth.

One highlight? A powerhouse workshop with Vada Hill, CMO of Taco Bell. 🌟 His insights on brand, leadership, and strategy were game-changing.

I’m so grateful to the Chamber for offering a program that equips, connects, and inspires business leaders like me. Here are a few of my top takeaways from Vada’s session…

Are you proving your worth or providing real value at work?

There’s a difference.
Most leaders are unconsciously proving, validating why they belong, jumping through hoops, trying to be seen as likable, competent, accepted.
You’d be surprised how many people go to work seeking love, affirmation, or approval.

At Advanced Leadership for Women, we’re taking “proving” off the table.
We’re doubling down on a truth: your worth isn’t up for measurement.

Instead, we ask a more powerful question:
👉 What value am I providing, and is it truly useful?

When our focus is on being seen, the ego runs the show and that limits our impact.
When our focus is on service, growth, and usefulness, we lead from a deeper, more expansive place.

Come learn advanced leadership skills that expand your consciousness and your capacity.
Our doors close August 20th.

Let’s stop proving. Let’s lead.

One of my favorite parts of running a business is getting to create.

Designing materials that reflect my voice and vision brings me so much joY and when I launched Advanced Leadership for Women, I knew I needed a team that could bring that vision to life.
Enter Edelmade, a Cincinnati-based branding studio run by the incredible husband-and-wife duo, Lauren and Mike Hauss. If you didn’t know, Lauren and I go way back, I was her HR manager during our GE days. When I made the leap into coaching, Lauren was one of the first people I called. She helped me build the first Curated Coaching Brand, and she’s been helping shape my branding voice ever since—eight years and counting.
From logos to color palettes to full-on brand guides, they’ve supported every chapter of my growth as a coach and business owner. So when I shared my vision for Advanced Leadership for Women—and what I wanted to design for my website and in the world—they were all in.
✨ So today, I’m sharing a few of the posters we created for my upcoming event at Music Hall. These are designed to spark reflection in women leaders:
— Are you a soft place to land for yourself in leadership?

— Are you your harshest critic?

— What’s your relationship with you?

Take a moment to reflect on those. And if you’d like a poster to hang in your office or business to spark similar conversations—send me a DM. I’d love to send one your way. Our early bird ticket sales end on July 25th. Afterward our price increases.
