Emboldify

I spent the first 15 years of my career leading teams in ad tech and marketing, at companies ranging from large corporations (Yahoo/Verizon and Hearst) to a 10-person startup. I became a people manager within the first two years of my career, and quickly realized that the most fulfilling part of my job was developing, mentoring and coaching members of my team. Shortly after that I started facilitating trainings and workshops through both my leadership role at work and running the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of Levo League, a network for young female professionals.

The other component of Emboldify clicked when I took my first improv class in November 2016. Not only did I fall head over heels in love with the art form, community and sheer fun of improv, but I also realized I was learning skills that impacted all areas of my life - especially work. I became more confident, was able to think more clearly on my feet, had greater self-awareness and empathy, was more present in the moment, and felt more creative than I had been since I was a child.

I started Emboldify to help other professionals and leaders learn these same skills without investing the time and courage necessary for a 6-week improv class. Through coaching and training sessions, we empower leaders to better engage their teams, develop innovative solutions and execute change effectively in this dynamic world.
