What’s New!
August 25, 2025
This August, I had the tremendous honor of attending the International Maxwell Conference in Orlando — an experience that pushed me, inspired me, and left me with renewed clarity about my path forward. It wasn’t just another conference. It was a community of leaders, a classroom of lived experience, and a launchpad for new identity.
Over the course of the event:
I joined the Mentorship program, allowing me to grow under proven leaders while learning to guide others.
I became a certified Maxwell Leadership Team Member, which deepens my commitment and equips me more formally to serve.
I also earned my coach certification, further strengthening my ability to support individuals and teams toward real transformation.
Among the many highlights were the keynote sessions. Hearing from leaders like John C. Maxwell reinforced timeless truths about influence, character, and purpose. Other speakers brought fresh energy and perspectives:
Jesse Cole, with his “Fans First / Entertain Always” philosophy, reminded me how innovation and fun are not just extras — they are essential for connection, loyalty, and turning routine into memorable.
Tiffani Bova spoke about the synergy between customer experience and employee experience. Her message: sustainable growth comes when we don’t treat “the way we work with people” as separate from “the way people experience our work.”
Anthony Trucks introduced powerful ideas around “Dark Work” — the behind-the-scenes discipline, identity shifts, and internal resilience that often don’t get glory but absolutely drive performance.
Craig Groeschel, Mark Cole, and Valorie Burton also delivered messages I’m carrying forward: on leading with empathy, influence, and authenticity. All of them brought stories, tools, and conviction that leadership isn’t static — it’s forged in struggle, shaped by community, and sustained by purpose.
What makes all of this more than a memory is how I’m already seeing it foreshadow my next steps. The conversations I had with amazing people from around the world — hearing how they’re overcoming challenges, innovating in unexpected ways, leaning into service — those have become part of my own “why.” I left Orlando not just with more knowledge, but with vibrant inspiration. I’m more committed than ever to helping others grow — whether that’s through mentoring, coaching, or simply walking together in leadership.
Thank you to everyone I met, everyone who spoke, and everyone who believed that leadership is worth showing up for. I can’t wait to carry this forward.

Attending SHRM 2025 was an unforgettable experience—gathering with 14,000 HR professionals from around the world to grow, connect, and lead. I immersed myself in sessions that spoke deeply to both the heart and strategy of our work, including Now is the Time for Introverted HR Professionals, Navigating the Waters of OFCCP Compliance, and Leading While Bleeding, a powerful session on leading through pain. I also gained practical insights on leadership, assessments, neuroscience, and reframing failure to empower teams. One of the biggest highlights? Hearing from Former President Joe Biden and connecting with incredible, like-minded professionals who are just as passionate about building better workplaces. My heart is full and my toolkit is overflowing.
