She helps audiences by inspiring people to push past the doubt and indecision. She helps people to think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current limited scope of belief.

Years later she ultimately she sold that company to the same team she started it.
Since then she has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and The Today show. Her writing has been published in Harvard Business Review, Forbes and HR magazine. She's a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of three books, including her most recent Wonderhell: How Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should and What To Do About It.
