My experience managing my family’s 70-employee manufacturing business was painful. After we sold the business, in order to allow my parents to retire financially secure, I spent time during my MBA at Harvard Business School in deep introspection about how we work. I have dedicated my life to changing the way we live and work so that we do so with joy. Having successfully led many businesses and working with hundreds of leaders and their teams, I realize it only takes one person to make the change. When people are tuned into their true selves, they act from a place of presence, grace, joy and authenticity, enriching the lives of others
