At nine she sat alone at a lemonade stand because nobody else would move the table ten feet to where the customers actually were. At sixteen she slipped the cooks dollar bills on every shift because she refused to work hard without the room rewarding the people quietly carrying it. The pattern was set early.
She has spent twenty three years pouring herself into other people's biggest moments. She has built companies. She has advised more than two hundred organizations. She has walked Necker Island with Branson, sat with founders through the hardest personal moments and the biggest brand decisions in the same afternoon, and recently helped a man who sold his company to Walmart for ninety million dollars prepare for the most important meeting of his next chapter.
She has never gone to college. Her mom was a kindergarten teacher. She comes from very humble beginnings. The thing that makes her irreplaceable is not her credential. It is that she stays.
She lives in Grand Island, Nebraska. She works with leaders all over the world. She is the person who breaks the cycle for the leader who has always been the steadiest person in the room.
