About Me

My encounter with a middle-school bully sparked a curiosity within me about what helps people confront the risks and challenges facing them. That lasting curiosity morphed into a deep interest in courage, leading me to become a speaker, author and coach who helps emerging leaders at universities and organizations activate personal courage in order to perform to their full potential at work and in the world.

I’ve spent over a decade researching courage, and I combine that research with my experiences leading marketing teams at a global brand, starting a business, and traveling the world solo. This unique combination taught me that courage is a superpower everyone has access to but that most people don’t know how to ignite.

Through my keynotes, workshops and coaching programs, I help people understand and activate personal courage in order to take worthwhile risks and make moves toward their most meaningful goals — goals like speaking up, standing out and staying true to themselves.

I’m so grateful to do this work and witness young leaders put the courage pieces together to level up their personal and professional lives.

    I am proud to say, as the nation’s largest nonprofit private scholarship organization, Scholarship America is 100% student focused. On behalf of students everywhere, we serve as a scholarship resource, guiding advocate, and driving force for student success. We believe in the power of a scholarship, and we believe in providing support beyond a scholarship, to help students persist and complete college with less debt. We are also advocates for students, currently working to raise awareness of aid displacement and scholarship taxability—we are committed to ensuring that students receive the full benefit of the scholarships they earn to help make their dreams possible. - Robert C. Ballard, President & CEO, Scholarship America

  • I Am PerspectiveGaining perspective one conversation at a time.

    "Right now, there's a level of false empathy that we exude as people. But if I sit here and talk with you and you tell me about intimate stories about what's going on in your home and how that's affecting you, it becomes different. " - Jo'rell

    I Am Perspective curates programs that are intended to nurture and respect each and every shared perspective, providing a safe space for all, free of judgement or personal inhibitions stemming from societal pressures, like the need to be ‘politically correct.’ With targeted explorative questions, every conversation also challenges participants to dive deep within themselves to uncover the “why” behind their current perspective.
