This is my story...

I’ve dedicated my work to helping people think more clearly—about themselves, their choices, and the way they lead. The path that brought me here has been anything but straight. Every turn invited reflection, re-evaluation, and rebuilding, shaping how I now teach others to reconstruct their own frameworks for leadership.

Growing up in South Korea taught me to hold multiple perspectives at once. Years in higher education revealed how systems shape behavior—and how to change those systems from the inside out. Health challenges and adoption taught me that resilience isn’t about toughness; it’s about discernment, adaptability, and hope.

That intersection—between experience and examination—became the heart of my work. I believe leadership begins with identity, and identity begins with values. When you uncover what truly matters, you stop reacting to the noise around you and start responding with purpose, clarity, and calm authority.

My signature frameworks—Core Values Blueprint, Intentional Optimism, and Recognize–Reflect–Respond—translate complex ideas into practical tools leaders can actually use. They equip people to pause, assess, and act with integrity—whether in a boardroom, classroom, or community.

Today I teach, coach, and consult with organizations and leaders who want to meet the moment with steadiness and substance. My work sits at the intersection of insight and action—where self-awareness becomes strategy, and values become culture.
