Power Leader unlocks Career Success she wants with

Skills, Savvy, and Momentum

Denise offers Private & Corporate Leadership Development and Mentoring Programs for Women Leaders, specializing in Women of Color & First-Generation Leaders. They face a unique set of workplace challenges that are often “noted” about them but less often directly addressed with them and rarely nurtured well. These skewed impressions often become distractions they must face and work against.

Navigating overt & covert biases in corporate landscapes requires preparation, awareness, and readiness. Leveraging proven experience through professional mentoring prepares and positions Women Leaders with skills, savvy, and momentum to achieve the career success they want and deserve.

Denise helps Women Leaders lean into their POWER and achieve career success that feels right to them.

Momentum is generated by a series of events towards our goals. It shows our strength, fortitude and intentionality to move forward and advance. In the workplace, we leverage momentum to advance our career to secure both the title and money.

Women Leaders have different experiences, and we commonly run into workplace dynamics that make it difficult to persevere. This is where real life “been there” experience, insight & wisdom make all the difference.

Testimonials

"Denise is the Coach for

Strong Women"

Vikki Ellison

“You can't coach strong women, the strong personality - the one everybody comes to, leans on, the same way you coach someone else. It takes a different level of skill. But more than that, it takes a different level of insight. And Denise is able to do that in such a way that it makes them stronger. Denise is the coach for strong women.”

"Denise challenges me to think bigger & go deeper"

Darlene Washington

“Working with Denise is a learning experience that challenges me to think bigger, go deeper and expect more from myself and the life I desire. Denise provides perspective and vision for greatness that pushes me to go further. Every encounter with Denise leaves me believing bigger, and expecting more.”

"Denise has so much wisdom & willingness to share"

Marsha Haywood

“Denise has so much of the wisdom that I needed to take myself to the next level professionally. She has business acumen and a willingness to share it. Some people hoard all their wisdom and their knowledge, but Denise is so generous in her wisdom and her time to share it. She is so authentic and so full of the love of God.”

More about Denise...

Denise is a talented Leader with valuable experience leading teams through change, establishing new teams, and energizing teams to deliver strong results. She's successfully managed key aspects of business growth, but she enjoyed developing leaders most.

She is a progressive thinker and innovative problem solver. She is known as an effective change agent with a passion for bringing order to chaos. She is skilled at communicating and focused on exceeding expectations.

Her signature mode of operation is collaboration - everyone feels connected and vested even though teams are often large, dispersed, and cross-functional.

Even more fulfilling than her professional success is the time, talent & treasure that she invests in charitable and entrepreneurial efforts that center on helping others thrive.

Denise is Influential, Driven, and Results-Oriented.

You can have SUCCESS on your own terms...

Throughout my 30-year career, I achieved some outstanding wins, led some incredible teams and leaders, and what’s even more impressive is the backstory of all I overcame to persevere and obtain what many consider the fruits of success.

I have held key leadership roles at many Fortune 500 Companies, accomplished many credible career wins and even established business industry firsts. Accomplishing BIG things became my professional norm and I’m grateful. Those achievements include: multiple six-figure compensation, performance bonus payouts, stock option rewards, boardroom meetings, significant career advancement, notable promotions, great relocation packages, regular presence with C-Suite leaders, rides on corporate jets, and literally living on an expense report week by week.

All of that was so good to experience and live. And more than that, I know exactly what it means to be successful inside, too. My life now is a far cry from how I grew up. I embraced my God-given power and took the reins of a defining moment to change my life.

And now I am paying it forward by lifting my voice to empower women to build a life they love and mentoring women leaders to “Take Up Space” in the workplace.

You Belong There...
