Like you, I'm many things.

Business owner.

Trial lawyer.

Creator.

Explorer.

Tech geek.

Dog and horse mother.

Wife and daughter. 

Ice cream lover.

My passion and focus is profitable, powerful messaging regardless of how I’m “working.”

I train ambitious high performers in how to get more of what they want through persuasive communication via Power: The Art of Influence and the Power Lab.  

Your communication skills are how you get results, get promoted, grow your reputation and build your business -- online and off.

They are also an inside and an outside job, requiring know-how and existential abilities that until recently humans did not need to thrive in the marketplace.  

I teach the ingredients necessary to present and position yourself, your business and your ideas in a way that will move others to take the action you want them to take, whether that’s hire you, vote for you, buy from you, promote you, or decide for you. 

When we work together, we will fine-tune your inner world so that you optimize your influence in your outer world, using the same mechanisms and strategies that are used “on” you all the time.

This is the key to getting what you want, for yourself, your family, your clients, your organization.

This knowledge shouldn't be available only to a privileged few.

Let’s level the playing field.  It’s time.

MISSION STATEMENT

I founded The Edge Education to provide individuals with influence and leadership training.

I equip you with the tools you need to speak persuasively and flex your power so that you are seen, heard and understood and make your desired impact.

My goal is to provide you with a safe space to practice feeling comfortable while taking difficult and polarizing positions and while speaking uncomfortable truths so that when the stakes are high, you perform optimally with confidence and ease.

At The Edge, our mission is to help humans speak and listen to each other from their hearts with empathy and compassion instead of from their heads with frustration and rage.
