When leaders face uncertainty, impasse, or high-stakes decisions, I help them recognize and engage Wisdom as a practical force for clarity, collaboration, and transformation.
As Founder and CEO of Sophia Leadership Group, I partner with executives, teams, and organizations to bring Wisdom frameworks and systems into modern leadership and organizational strategy. My work bridges metaphysical insight and practical application—helping organizations cultivate the conditions where clarity, creativity, and right action naturally arise.
I first encountered the transformative science of Wisdom through Cognitive-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), an experience that revealed Wisdom as the headwaters of lasting change. With advanced degrees in Divinity and Theology—with a focus in Wisdom—from Gardner-Webb University and Emory University, I bring a multidisciplinary background spanning leadership, systems thinking, and applied research ethics.
A three-time business owner, I’ve keynoted for business chambers, universities, and professional associations, equipping leaders with the tools to engage Wisdom—transforming how organizations create, sustain, and evolve.
