Leadership GEMS

Each leader is a gem, shaped by experience, pressure, and possibility.

Gratitude is the polish.

GEMS is where we slow down enough to see what’s working and strengthen what helps you shine.

You’ve Never Been to a Leadership Briefing Like This! 

Each monthly GEMS session will explore a leadership skill or model grounded in gratitude, with a practical side of AI to support learning and application. Sessions will be more interactive and centered on your real challenges, priorities, and growth.

In each monthly session, you can expect:

✔️ Greater clarity on how you can strengthen your leadership skills

✔️ Ideas and insights into your leadership foundation/gratitude

✔️ Practical techniques you can apply right away

✔️ Leadership practices paired with AI/gratitude to support your growth

Books are involved, but you don’t need to read or listen to the book to attend. In fact, it might be better if you don’t! 

I do the reading for you!

Imagine getting the gold and hidden gems from all the greatest leadership books, without having to read them!? 

Join me for monthly Leadership Gems for an interactive summary of the best leadership books and the highlights on how to implement them right away. Each month, we dive into a theme related to the Gratitude Gap, AI and one book, either a current best seller or a classic, and I’ll share with you the best of the best parts so you can save time, learn, and apply the lessons and insights.  In addition to each book’s focus area, I’ll show you how that skill is related to gratitude and how to pair that skill and gratitude.

The GEM that will transform your leadership!
