Welcome

Glad to see you here.

I’m the author of No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power and three other books, an expert on leadership and women’s relationship with power, a media commentator, and a keynote speaker. I learned it on the frontlines, as a former teen mom who became a successful CEO, including president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

As a speaker and workshop leader, I love to share the inspiration and practical No Excuses “Power Tools” I’ve learned from my own experience, the latest research, my interviews with intriguing people, and from you.

My passion is to inspire women to embrace the power in their hands. Because once we stand in power and walk with intention, we can lead unlimited lives. We can even break through our current 18% of top leadership positions, earning 78% of what men do, and reach parity from the boardroom to the bedroom
