My company and social-impact vehicle , PowHERhouse, is disrupting and redefining the acceleration, activation and amplification of high-impact leaders.  I transitioned from a corporate career in marketing and communications in 2000.  I have experienced what works to successfully support leadership priorities in a corporate setting and wanted to create a framework, platform and creative team to best support leaders who are ready to operate at a higher level of leadership. We walk with you on The Leader Path, as clearly and definitively as an athlete's path.
