Hey there!
I've navigated perfectionism that limited my team's growth, delegation struggles that created bottlenecks, boundary issues that led to burnout, and the pressure of leading authentically while raising two daughters.
What I've learned: sustainable high performance isn't about doing more—it's about building resilience as the foundation for everything else. When we address the root causes that drain our leadership capacity—perfectionism, poor boundaries, the constant pressure to prove ourselves—we don't just survive, we thrive.
My keynotes draw on 25+ years of leadership experience, cutting-edge research on leadership resilience, and real-world insights from coaching Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders across industries. I share what actually works to build the mental, emotional, physical, and social resilience that allows leaders to sustain their impact without sacrificing their well-being.
Because leadership resilience isn't a luxury—it's the competitive advantage that allows you to lead effectively for the long haul.
I'm a former CEO, executive coach, and speaker who's lived the challenges women leaders face.
I'm Alli.
