My "old" life was "ok", but I always suspected there might be more out there for me 

Then I got made redundant.... 

After the initial panic, I decided to use this as an opportunity to do what I'd never really done before: 
- find out what I actually wanted from life 
- get myself the support to help me 
- and CHANGE my life 
And I can honestly say I have never looked back! 

Now I want to support as many people as possible to live the life they love, now - however that looks for you at work, at home, and for life as a whole. 

There are various ways I can support you, including 1 to 1 or small group coaching
- Kickstart your change - a 4 week programme to get you taking empowered action 
- A little shot of confidence - a 4 week programme where you'll walk away knowing you are amazing! 
- Get your ideal role - a 4-6 week programme preparing you for your ideal role 
- CHANGE - a 3 month transformation programme taking you from where you are to loving your whole life 

I also run masterclasses, past subjects have included: confidence, creating change, managing conflict, working with different personality types 

I work with both individuals and organisations too, for more information DM me!  

I am passionate about equity - not just everyone having the same opportunities, but having flexibility around what we each need to be able to do our best at what we chose.

And I'm passionate about everyone living the life they love now - no more waiting - so if you're ready then reach out to me now!

I show leaders to efficiently extract valuable insights from books, enabling them to enhance their leadership skills and steer their businesses towards greater success.

Educator

When a journalist from Investor's Business Daily wanted to write an article about the books CEOs read, she interviewed me, the founder of The Invisible Mentor.  I love to read books off the beaten path, because they allow me to build my body of knowledge that I can draw on to creatively solve problems. I write about books, reading strategies, in-demand skills and more on The Invisible Mentor. License my content, so your employees get exposed to ideas to solve company problems.

So what else do I do? Looking to increase your visibility and gain credibility? Let me interview your clients, then craft your success stories. I am a storyteller. You can post your success stories on your website, publish in a newsletter. or use them to create an anniversary booklet to highlight an important organizational milestone.

Learning Strategist, MoreReads Success Blueprint

Originally from Jamaica, with stints in Calgary and New York, I now live in Toronto, Canada. I am the Founder and CEO of The Invisible Mentor (formerly Ambeck Enterprise), a firm that specializes in producing a variety of content, such as blog posts, fact sheets, reports, e-books, and book summaries. An expert interviewer, researcher and writer, with over 20 years of experience using interviewing as a data gathering and knowledge management tool, I combined these skills to craft the book, Tales of People Who Get It, and its companion workbook, Journey to Getting It.

An advocate for people taking control of their professional development, I founded The Invisible Mentor (http://theinvisiblementor.com) to provide an alternative mentoring model where professionals get the information and resources they need to mentor themselves. Through book summaries and reviews, profiles of wise people, and interviews with highly accomplished people, I create a safe place for self-directed learning, where professionals can learn, stretch, and grow in their career. 

I also founded the LinkedIn group, Leaders Are Great Readers, and the Strategic Reading Challenge to share my love for reading and to help people use a reading challenge as a learning tool.

Recognizing that relationships are the foundation of success, I facilitated the process on several occasions by interviewing members of a community, so they can share their stories with each other. I use interviews as a knowledge management tool for future leaders to benefit from the experiences and deep insights of present leaders. And I will interview your star employees and executives, taking their stories to the world.

Helping Leaders Know More, Do More, and Be More Through Strategic Learning and Curated Insights

I enable senior executives, business owners, and leadership teams to unlock their full potential by strategically leveraging knowledge from nonfiction books and diverse perspectives. My approach, Leadership Reading, equips leaders to save time, focus on what matters, and apply insights effectively.

Leadership Reading isn’t about consuming books cover-to-cover. It’s about reading with purpose. 

Leaders learn to:

- Identify the books that align with their goals.
- Focus on the 20% of the text that delivers 80% of the value.
- Apply proven strategies to extract insights quickly and effectively.

I’m also the creator of Bookish Notes, a resource available through The Art of Learning Leadership Academy. More than summaries, Bookish Notes provide curated insights, actionable ideas, discussion prompts, and diverse perspectives on key topics. These tools help leaders:

- Know More: Expand their knowledge with curated wisdom from diverse authors.
- Do More: Apply big ideas to solve challenges and drive results.
- Be More: Grow into informed, effective leaders who inspire change.

Through my work, I help leaders maximize their learning while minimizing time commitments. By focusing on the right books and actionable insights, professionals can creatively solve problems, make better decisions, and achieve meaningful outcomes.

What I Offer:

- Leadership Reading Mastery: Teach executives and organizations how to extract insights from nonfiction books strategically.

- Bookish Notes Membership: Access curated knowledge designed to build expertise and save time.

- Applied Knowledge Workshops: Interactive sessions tailored to equip teams with tools for strategic learning and implementation.

- Custom Learning Solutions: Tailored strategies for leadership development and organizational growth.
