About me

Empowering women isn’t just about fairness, it’s about building a sustainable future. As a CEO and Board Director with 28+ years of executive experience in male-dominated industries, I’ve led businesses through transformation and growth, while breaking barriers as the first woman in key leadership roles. Today, through my advisory, mentorship, and research, I equip women to lead with confidence, turn challenges into opportunities, and drive meaningful change.

Topic: Adapt, Lead, and Thrive: A Leadership Framework for Women Breaking Barriers

I chose this topic because women in leadership continue to face unique challenges—from bias and double standards to the pressure of balancing confidence with approachability. Having navigated these realities first-hand in male-dominated industries, I’ve seen how the right strategies can turn barriers into opportunities for growth and impact.

In this mentoring, participants will learn practical, actionable tools to:
✅ Embrace their authentic leadership style and break free from societal expectations.
✅ Navigate biases and labels with confidence and resilience.
✅ Set and uphold boundaries to protect well-being while excelling professionally.
✅ Empower themselves to speak up, own their value, and take charge of their leadership journey.

This session goes beyond theory—it’s a hands-on, interactive experience. Together, we will:
💡 Explore real-world case studies to identify challenges and solutions.
🤝 Engage in small-group discussions to share experiences and co-create strategies.
🎤 Practice key leadership skills through guided exercises.

Participants will leave with:
✔ A clear leadership roadmap tailored to their personal and professional growth.
✔ Confidence to navigate bias and leadership challenges.
✔ Practical frameworks they can apply immediately in their roles.

This mentoring session is designed to inspire, challenge, and equip women with the tools they need to lead boldly and thrive. Whether you’re a rising leader or an experienced executive, you’ll walk away empowered to turn challenges into stepping stones for success.
