As Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

But it seems everyone has an opinion about who you should and shouldn't be. What you should and shouldn't do. How you should and shouldn't act.

What if you could live a life aligned to your own beliefs, passions, and wants versus being someone you were told “you should” be?

I know it's possible because I've been there!

After 16+ years of corporate life, I found the narrative I wanted to write for myself and followed that path.

In January 2020, I quit my job at Google, sold all my belongings in my NYC apartment and took a 1-way flight to Ghana with my husband to volunteer at a breast cancer non-profit while continuing to coach clients. The plan was to volunteer for 3 months, then travel the world. COVID clearly shifted our plans. We got stuck in Ghana for 7 months and I had to pivot my dreams.

One of my greatest learnings on my journey is: Your mindset, NOT your circumstance, makes all the difference in your happiness and success. Mental Fitness helped me find the courage to pursue my dreams, to pivot my dreams during COVID, and find the gift in every circumstance, to have a stronger relationship with myself and others, to handle the stresses of life and figure out what REALLY matters to me.

I am passionate about doing the same for others. If you want to strengthen your mental fitness, quiet your inner judge, and overcome self-doubt so you can figure out what REALLY matters to you and write the narrative you want to tell about the rest of your life then let's connect. I'd love to meet and hear your story. To help you (re)claim your internal authority and confidently make decisions that lead you towards your dreams (even if that dream isn't totally clear yet)

TESTIMONIAL: "Chad and I got connected through a series of mutual connections when I was looking for a career coach. I have had many career changes and was looking for help defining what a good career theme for me was that I could work towards. Chad was so helpful in asking the right questions and defining activities for me that brought up common themes across my career and beyond that helped pinpoint what a good fit for me would be. He really helped bring to the surface all those important things that I had a hard time seeing. I am so grateful for his guidance and insight."

I run Summit Presentations, LLC, a training company that delivers high-impact professional development programs for executives and teams. We use research-based training strategies and data-driven assessments to help people become better speakers and better writers. Through interactive exercises and simulations, our clients learn how to frame messages, use data, and tell stories to influence others and create lasting impact.

The best part of my job is working with amazing people. I’ve helped distinguished professors and scientists deliver TEDMED and TEDx Talks; helped CEOs and senior business executives communicate their vision in keynote speeches and at town halls; helped sales teams and entrepreneurs develop pitches for innovative products and companies; and helped thought leaders and government officials deliver inspirational speeches to large audiences.

Send me a message if I can help you or your team reach new heights.

It's really simple. If your company's messages (marketing and sales communications) are not crystal clear, your customers and potential customers will not know how to interact with you. I help companies create messaging that breaks through the marketplace noise and allows customers to immediately understand why they need to work with your company.

In addition, every member of your company has the capacity to sell your products and services. It is essential that each member of your team clearly understand why you do what you do so they can clearly communicate that message to everyone they come in contact with. If you are not taking advantage of this opportunity you are leaving lots of sales opportunities on the table.

My goal is to make help insure that my fellow Terps don't make mistakes when it comes their commercial real estate needs.

It all begins with that little nudge, an idea, a thought- something that makes you think that there is something more, something that you want to explore. That is where I come in. Together, in partnership, we will explore what it is that is holding you back, encourage you to dream big, and find those actionable steps to take you there! I’m excited to go on this journey with you!

I specialize in career transitions but enjoy working with anyone who feels stuck and wants to explore a possible change in their life!
