What inspires you to work in leadership development?

I am a firm believer that education is the key to liberation and loving communities.  Giving folks the opportunity to invest in themselves and their personal and professional development makes for happier and more secure individuals, which in turn creates happier and more secure communities. 

What’s your favorite leadership quote or book? 

“Bringing love into the work environment can create the necessary transformation that can make any job we do, no matter how menial, a place where workers can express the best of themselves. When we work with love we renew the spirit; that renewal is an act of self-love, it nurtures our growth. It’s not what you do but how you do it” – bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Where are we most likely to find you when you’re not at work?

Somewhere in the Sunset! Be it yoga, the beach or GG park, you’re bound to find me moving my body or reading a book in the sun (when it’s out).
