“Everyone has a WHY, a deep-seated purpose, cause, or belief
that is the source of our passion and inspiration.
You may not yet know what yours is or how to express it in words,
but we guarantee, you have it.”
-Simon Sinek, Start with Why
It’s a Wrap, 2018
In 2018, Essential Leadership was born again, allowing me to serve my highest purpose to work with individuals and families to help align their personal, philosophical, and values-based intentions with their community engagement investments of time, talent, treasure, and ties. I am grateful to my clients for entrusting me to walk with them on their journey to create a pathway for their own unique involvement building upon their values and strengths to make meaningful difference.
“It is in the thousands of days of trying, failing, sitting, thinking, resisting, dreaming, raveling, unraveling that we are at our most engaged, alert, and alive.”
