Let me break it down for you in a real, human way. I've been where you are – wrestling with imposter syndrome, fumbling through giving feedback, terrified of having to terminate, and struggling to delegate. All of which was slowly burning me out. After 20 years of high-pressure leadership roles, I realized something wasn't right.
The traditional work world is broken. We don't provide adequate manager training and we're pushing people to the edge, valuing productivity over human beings. I decided to walk away and do something different.
My mission? To provide managers with the fundamental skills they need to successfully lead teams, without requiring years of trial and error to learn. I help managers and leaders create workplaces that actually prioritize people and not just hitting targets. It's about helping professionals grow without losing themselves in the process.
It's about creating work environments where people can breathe, think, and truly contribute – not just survive. This isn't just a job for me; it's a calling to change how we think about work, leadership, and human potential.
And that's how Authentic Foundations was born – a coaching practice dedicated to reimagining leadership, one manager, one team at a time.
