I help founders, executives, and sales leaders access courage in high-stakes environments.

I am a world record-holding mountaineer, exited entrepreneur, global keynote speaker, and mother of seven who reinvented her life after a near-fatal car accident forced a hard question:

What would I do if time were no longer guaranteed?

Before that moment, I had never slept in a tent.
I had never climbed a mountain.

Since then, I became the first woman to climb the second-highest peak on every continent, built and exited a financial services firm, and now work with leaders operating where decisions carry real consequence and the margin for error is thin.

I don’t teach motivation.
I teach courageous clarity.

Because the real breakdown for high performers, founders, executives, and sales leaders is rarely a lack of discipline.
It’s hesitation.

Knowing what matters.
But not acting on it.

On the mountain, hesitation gets you killed.
In leadership and sales, it quietly costs you trust, momentum, health, and conviction.

My work helps leaders:
• Make courageous decisions when the stakes are high
• Stay steady and regulated under pressure and uncertainty
• Act in alignment with values, even when it’s uncomfortable
• Build resilience without burnout
• Show up powerfully in high-stakes leadership and sales conversations
• Lead without outsourcing courage to circumstances

I draw from extreme environments, neuroscience, leadership psychology, and lived experience where fear is data, ego is expensive, and courage must be practiced in real time.

Today, I work with:
• Founders and executives navigating inflection points and decisive moments
• Sales leaders and teams operating in high-pressure, quota-driven environments
• Investors and operators carrying invisible responsibility
• Organizations that need leaders who can act, not stall

I speak globally on leadership, courage, decision-making, and human performance in high-stakes environments.
I host private advisory circles and high-trust leadership intensives.
I design curated leadership and mountain experiences where courage is embodied, not discussed.

If you are building something meaningful and feel the weight of the decisions in front of you, you are my people.

Areas of engagement:
• Keynotes and leadership intensives
• Executive advisory and private leadership work
• Curated mountain and experiential leadership experiences
• Media and speaking engagements

The summit requires courage.
