I’ve always believed that how we spend our time matters.
My journey started with productivity—helping people focus, achieve more, and build better habits. But as I worked with leaders and teams, I realized something deeper: productivity isn’t enough.
We need growth. We need connection. We need meaning.
That realization led me to the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology—becoming one of the first 600 people in the world to do so. My research became the first to rigorously study how leaders shape meaningful work.
My mission is simple: to unlock the power of meaningful work to drive peak performance and build cultures of innovation, resilience and growth.
What Do I Do Today?
- I speak to leaders and organizations about unlocking the transformative power of meaningful work.
- I train teams to bridge productivity and purpose—what I call Peak Performance.
- I teach at Boston College and the University of Pennsylvania, sharing the science of human flourishing and flourishing organizations.
- I research, write, and challenge assumptions about what work can be.
What Do I Believe?
- Workplaces are the key to human flourishing.
- Leaders have the responsibility to create cultures where everyone can thrive.
- Most people want leaders who care about them, believe in their potential, and make work matter. And most leaders want to be that person.
- It’s not just about what is—it’s about what’s possible.
On a Personal Note
- I’m an entrepreneur at heart—my first business was in middle school.
- I have three kids, two dogs, and a husband who supports my never-ending ideas.
- Chapstick is my secret weapon. I have one in every room and every bag.
- I am an avid reader with a to-be-read list that grows faster than how long it takes for me to finish books.
