About

Certified Project & Program Management for over 23yrs of overall experience in various IT organizations, I love to lead people, process with purpose. With a background in Agile coaching & Project/Program Management and a heart rooted in human connection, I created The Purple Path — a space where leadership meets mindfulness, and relationships are reimagined as spaces for growth, not struggle. My work blends with emotional intelligence to help individuals and organizations: -Communicate with compassion, -Lead under pressure with presence, -Navigate anger and emotions constructively, And build meaningful, lasting connections — at work and beyond. I believe that the two biggest challenges in our world today are relationships and money. And while I don’t coach on the stock market, I do help people invest in something far more powerful: the way they relate to themselves and others. 💜 What I Offer: K(c)onnected Leadership for leaders ready to evolve The Purple Path – Not Just a Path. A Practice of K(c)onnected Living 📚 Author of Leadership Roles Are (Not) for Women – a reflection on societal norms, personal growth, and claiming one’s space in leadership. 🔍 Currently exploring how AI can enhance Leadership without losing humanity.
