Relationships matter beyond family and love.  Whether you're building a high-performing team or nurturing a strong leadership bench, relationships are the real engine behind lasting success. They drive trust, collaboration, innovation—and yes, retention. We don’t rise in our careers alone. We rise with the people who advocate for us, the colleagues who challenge and support us, the mentors who help us navigate inflection points.

Relationships are not “soft skills”—they are critical strategic assets.

As a speaker and longtime matchmaker (yes, professionally!), I bring a unique lens to the corporate world: I’ve spent years helping people navigate vulnerability, build trust quickly, and develop the kind of emotional intelligence that leads to powerful, lasting connections. My job is literally to study compatibility and communication—and that insight translates into complex workplace dynamics. In my talks, I blend business savvy (from my years at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan) with cultural wisdom and a dose of humor to help people connect in ways that drive performance, belonging and thriving.

Because when we know how to build real relationships, we do our jobs better but also we’re creating workplaces where everyone feels seen, invested, and empowered.
