    Durham, Nc, Us
    I am honored to join Duke Corporate Education where I get to bring over a decade of my thought leadership, skills, and expertise to create impact as a Corporate Educator! I specialize in DEIB, (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging), Leadership, Hiring Humans, Cultivating Joy, and the future of work among others.RANKED #1 WORLDWIDE! The Financial Times has ranked Duke Corporate Education #1 worldwide in custom executive education in its 2023 Executive Education Ranking.Part of Duke University, Duke Corporate Education (Duke CE) is the premier global provider of leadership solutions in context. Duke CE is a blend of a business and university — but distinct from both. From the business world, they bring an outcomes-driven focus on client service and real-world insight into the challenges leaders face. From their university heritage, they bring academic rigor and research.Duke Corporate Education spun out of Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business in 2000 to focus specifically on leadership development in context. Client challenges required a level of flexibility and creativity that couldn’t be achieved within the structures and limits of one university, so they redefined corporate education with a model that blends university with business, bringing together experienced business and learning experts and a global network of faculty and experience providers to help our clients. They start with your messy challenges and work with you to find the right leadership solution to enable your leaders to adapt and move the organization forward. Since they began over 20 years ago, breaking the rules has been part of their aspiration and in their DNA. Leadership development needs to take a leap to get ready for what’s next and we’re here to help.I can't wait to build out this next chapter of my career. I am already diving into my first project and I am honored to work with such an incredible team!
