What often disables us or our team's ability to do our best during times of disruption is fear. Fear of uncertainty. Fear that our basic needs may not be met (for example, If we lose our job, we will not have the money for our necessities). Without the proper tools, fear in the workplace is costly, upwards of 500 Billion for US companies according to a recent Gallup study.
But what if I told you that fear doesn't have to be a foe? It doesn’t need to slow you or your team down. That's right, we're talking about flipping the script and making fear your ally.

And not just be a part of the room (which was predominantly male, and white) but command and lead the room. Representation matters and seeing her aunt in this way allowed Autumn to think about the possibilities for her own future. It allowed...

Fearless Female Leadership: What’s Next for You? A Proven Process to Gain Clarity and Confidence
Sometimes we get that uncomfortable feeling, like it’s time to shift, make a pivot or uplevel, and we often ask ourselves, ‘What's next for me?’
It’s a bold question, often not an easy one, isn’t it?!
Do you ever get that feeling that you are being called to do more, or do something different?
I’ve had the honor of working with some of the most prolific and influential female leaders, here in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and across the country and their teams.
One thing they’ve said over the years is “I wish all the women in my organization could have the transformation that I'm having, so they can go from being possibly silenced, overlooked or disregarded to being and feeling heard, valued, respected. Like they're really an agent of change.”
And so last September, I said ‘yes!’ to a fantastic opportunity to partner with the software company and learning platform Rali to create and film...

No One Succeeds Alone
In the last 5 years, my husband Scott and I have almost moved on several occasions, but then decided not to at the last minute.
This time was different. I could feel in my bones that it was time to take action and not look back. Our house is now going on the market this month, and I’ve been feeling a lot of emotions following the task of writing a love letter to my home, as requested by my realtor.
It made me realize how grateful and appreciative I am of this home. This home caught us when it was a challenging time for our family, healed us, provided a place for laughter, sometimes tears, birthday parties, dinner parties, and sitting in the hot tub in the backyard at night watching the clouds pass over the stars.
This is the home where I said ‘yes’ to my now husband and where I came up with the idea of how to scale the impact of my company.
For all of those things and many more, I am forever grateful to my home.
I’m excited to be selling our house with the...
