I became a reinvention expert, specializing in guiding leaders from personal reinvention to leadership success in ways that previously felt unimaginable. The experiences of high-achieving midlevel managers is priceless and should not go to waste. Instead, organizations should learn how to help their leaders repurpose by using knowledge gained from personal challenges experienced when added to their skills for greater impact professionally. I work with the strong, determined ones…who usually figure out everything on their own. They are admired by their colleagues and are the go-to people in the office or on a team. That’s how I was accustomed to navigating through life, too. But what if your employees’ greatest breakthroughs were on the other side of personal reinvention?
I get it! For many midlevel professionals, this phase of the journey is different. Their marriage or romantic relationship has ended. They’ve been a caregiver, an empty nester, or another title that is totally different as they faced personal challenges that seemed impossible to bounce back from. Underneath it all, they’ve become exhausted while struggling to find their way forward on their own with no safe place to go for solutions. Meanwhile, they’re still showing up at work, leading teams and processes while trying to figure out how to navigate forward in life and career…alone.
No more. Every day, organizations around the world search for ways to retain top talent through purpose-driven leadership. Reinvention isn’t a risk; it’s a reward. To make it work, organizations hire me to lead group workshops aimed at inspiring their employees to unlock midlife career and personal success.
Through Experiential Workshops & My Book, Organizations Trust Me To Reignite Leaders After Personal Challenges Because…Silence Isn’t A Retention Strategy.

LICIA’S STORY - IN HER OWN WORDS
YThere was a time when I juggled the responsibilities of being a divorced mom of two while caring for my aging parents & continually advancing my corporate career. At times, it felt daunting, yet I never saw myself as broken. I chose to be intentional by enrolling in a coaching program to give myself a year to redefine & reimagine my future. Tapping into the fire within, I stepped out—using perseverance from my competitive years as a sprinter and hurdler—by requesting a separation package from my employer of 22 years to fund establishing my global leadership transformation coaching and consulting firm a few months prior to the 2020 global pandemic and subsequently, writing and publishing my book.
