I am gifted at helping people see their power because I have spent so much of my life hiding my own. I see where you are powerful even when you cannot. I don't pay attention to the story or reasons you might believe as truth. I pay attention to who you truly are.
What most people know about me is that I have spent 20 years doing software, started 2 for-profit and 1 non-profit organization, and 8 years doing photography.
What most people don't know about me is that I have spent a lifetime staying invisible. I have used my computer and camera as tools to hide behind. Even when leading teams, I have always been more coach-like and let others shine.
