What I've Learned

Life is a journey not a destination. It’s about the process for being as authentically you at any stage in your life as it is finding the most authentic “version” of yourself.

This is hard work! and the reasons for not being truly authentic, like fear, are real.

My Start

I’ve had a lot of experience helping others prepare for podcasts and radio and then have had the opportunity to be interviewed as the co-founder of The PEAK Fleet, my organizational consultancy. One of my company’s values is Authenticity, and it’s something I’ve become extremely passionate about as a key to unlock satisfaction both in work and the rest of life. After meeting Susan Galaviz through a mutual friend, things converged, and Authenticity Matters was born. I’m so pleased being able to share people’s stories and their tips for finding your more authentic self.
