That A-HA! Moment: WHY I DO THIS WORK
FROM CHRO TO CAREER ELEVATOR
Like many high performers, I used to downplay my worth—especially in interviews.
I said yes to roles “for the growth.”
I said things like, “Money isn’t my top priority”—in actual negotiation conversations.
why?
Because I didn’t want to seem greedy.
Because I didn’t know how to ask.
Because I thought they’d rescind the offer.
Sound Familiar?
I know how easy it is to shrink—even when you know you bring value.
And that’s exactly why I do this work:
- To dismantle the fear.
- To teach the strategy.
- To make sure you never again leave money—or power—on the table because you were too afraid to take up space.


From Gatekeeper to Guide
As a Chief People Officer for 15+ years, I’ve sat on the other side of the table.
Crafting offers. Setting salary bands. Watching talented people walk away with far less than they could’ve earned—not because they weren’t qualified, but because they didn’t know how to position themselves.
And I watched the same three things sabotage brilliant professionals over and over again:
- They didn’t network with power
- They didn’t interview with clarity
- They didn’t negotiate with confidence
So I created what was missing—a strategic system to help high performers rise with clarity, confidence, and compensation that reflects
