Expert in working through shyness, imposter syndrome, and other "confidence" related topics. To find my voice and navigate my imposter syndrome, I had to reckon with myself and the dynamics around me in fast-paced, quantitative fields (e.g., consulting, politics, "startup" dynamics) and highly competitive academic or performance-focused environments (Harvard, Williams, Juilliard). My expertise in leadership development is linked with my own development arc (connecting with my courage, understanding why my shyness was so sticky) as well as my experience coaching others through their personal and professional challenges and at their growth edges. Growing up, in school and in work, I was constantly told to "be more confident" or "speak up more". Though well intentioned, this feedback missed the deep work below the surface, including the big assumptions about the world and my place in it that I needed to debunk. My training in human development and leadership development from experience at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Graduate School of Education was fodder for my own leadership development arc as well as my early experience coaching and supporting others on their development arcs. I've facilitated workshops on developing agency, coached young people and adults on professional improvement goals (including goals related to executive functioning), and facilitated conversations among strangers about leadership challenges. I feel most useful to the world when I'm helping people find their voices, reconnect with their imaginations, and renegotiate loyalties with their communities to feel more empowered.
