We live in a world that celebrates metrics—impact reports, dashboards, KPIs. And while data matters, here’s a truth I’ve seen proven time and time again:
“Purpose still wins.
Behind every sustainable business or inclusive initiative is a reason deeper than metrics—a purpose that drives not just what we do, but how we do it.”
From Builder to Strategist
When I first started this work, I wasn’t calling myself a strategist. I was a builder.
I built trust. I built coalitions. I built Utah’s Black Chamber from scratch, and I built connections between communities that had long been overlooked.
Eventually, I realized something important:
Community building is strategic.
When rooted in purpose, it becomes a catalyst for stronger teams, resilient businesses, and long-term change.

Why I Am Reintroducing Myself
Today, I serve as a speaker, strategist, and thought partner to organizations that want to lead with purpose and clarity.
I work with chambers, colleges, nonprofits, corporations, and city agencies to design inclusive growth strategies—strategies that stick.
Here’s how I support clients:
• Building supplier diversity programs that drive results
• Facilitating strategic planning sessions with depth and direction
• Growing small business ecosystems that are sustainable
• Delivering keynotes and workshops that move audiences to action
And I do this intentionally—partnering with a limited number of clients to go deep, not wide.
What Purpose in Action Looks Like
Here’s what I’ve helped leaders accomplish by centering strategy on purpose:
Doubled supplier diversity spend for a regional bank
Trained college leaders in emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership
Delivered keynotes that moved audiences from inspiration to implementation
These weren’t generic playbook wins. They were purpose-first strategies—with people at the center.
Let’s Build What Matters
Let’s stop building programs just to check boxes. Let’s build movements, momentum, and strategies that last.
Because in a world chasing quick results, purpose is still the most disruptive force we have.
