This is exactly why I created the Upper Arrow Growth Model™- to give leaders simple, practical language they can take back to their organizations the very next day. And I especially love hearing when tools like “stay interviews” don’t just inspire people in the room, but actually get implemented with teams on the ground.

If you’re ready to:
- Clarify what truly sets your organization apart
- Design a culture where people want to stay
- Turn great intentions into consistent “Upper Arrow” experiences for clients and employees
…I’d love to bring this work to your next event or leadership retreat.
What’s one “upper arrow” you want your employees and clients to feel this year?

I’m excited to have so many events in Utah this month!

I’m loving my time this week at the International WTS (Women in Transportation) Conference in LA. If you are here, let’s connect!

If you live in Utah and are wondering what’s happening at The Point and Utah City, come join my session at the 2026 Utah County Business Summit on May 15th.

Hope to connect with you soon!

Listening is about much more than just using our ears to hear.

It’s about being 100% present with the person in front of you- phones down, distractions aside, ego parked at the door. It’s choosing to listen more than you speak, to seek to understand instead of rushing to respond, and to notice what isn’t being said just as much as what is.

When leaders listen like that, people feel seen. Teams open up. Culture shifts.

Today, try this simple experiment: in your next conversation, talk less, listen longer, and get curious. Ask one more question than you normally would. Then watch what happens.

Because the leaders who build what matters most aren’t always the loudest in the room; they’re often the ones paying the closest attention.

“Happy to be here.”
Not something you tell your team to say.
It’s something they choose to feel.

When people can see a future inside your organization…
When their work brings real fulfillment…
When they’re surrounded by friends, not just coworkers…
And when feedback is consistent, honest, and useful…

You don’t have to chase engagement.
You build a culture people don’t want to leave.
And that’s the difference between managing a workforce…
and leading a team that wants to win together.

If you want people to stay, start by giving them something worth staying for.

There’s a moment in leadership- and in life- where we realize it’s not the big decisions that define us…

…it’s the small ones we make every single day.

In my book, Build What Matters, I wrote:

“Each choice we make to choose the positive side of life will ultimately determine our behavior and how we treat the people around us.”

That’s not just about mindset. It’s about impact.

Because positivity isn’t passive.

It’s a decision to lead with intention.

To respond instead of react.

To build people up- especially when it’s not easy.

The truth is, our teams don’t just hear what we say… they feel how we show up.

So today, I’m asking you (and reminding myself):

What does choosing the positive look like in your leadership right now?

Because when we build from that place-

We don’t just build better teams…

We build what matters.

Every day we’re given moments that test us- moments where we can react… or choose.

Choose joy.
Choose patience.
Choose kindness, even when it isn’t the easiest option.

The truth is, our mindset shapes the world around us. When we decide to show up with gratitude and compassion, we don’t just change our own day - we change someone else’s too.

Today, I’m choosing happiness. I’m choosing kindness. And I’m choosing to believe that small choices can make a big difference.

What will you choose today?

“Every employee can be either a cultural ambassador or a culture vampire. Choose carefully.”

I talk with leaders and teams every week about this. Your culture isn’t your poster, your website, or your mission statement. It’s how people actually treat each other when no one’s watching.

You know the difference:

Cultural ambassadors build people up, take ownership, and make it safe to speak up.

Culture vampires gossip, blame, and quietly suck the life out of your team.

If you’re in a leadership role (formal or informal), you’re modeling what’s ok. When we tolerate culture vampires because they hit the numbers, we trade short-term results for long-term damage.

Take a minute today:

Thank a cultural ambassador on your team.

Get honest about any culture vampires you’ve been ignoring.

Our workplaces - and our lives- get better when we choose ambassadors on purpose

Honored to take the stage at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 - North America’s largest construction trade show, to speak on Leading in a New Era.

We are not navigating a small shift in leadership… We are navigating a complete reset.

A new era demands:
• Leaders who build trust at scale
• Cultures that outpace change
• Communication that creates clarity, not noise
• And teams that feel seen, valued, and equipped to perform

The construction industry is evolving fast - technology, workforce expectations, generational transitions, and market pressure are reshaping how we lead. The old playbook won’t carry us forward.

If you’re ready to lead with greater intention, elevate your impact, and future-proof your culture, this conversation is for you.

Level Up. Build Strong.

There’s something powerful about a room full of women who build communities, careers, and futures.

I’m honored to kick off WIC Week with NAWIC Puget Sound on Monday, March 2nd in Seattle for a conversation that’s close to my heart:

Build a Life That Matters.
Not just a career that looks good on paper.
Not just success that checks the boxes.

But a life aligned with your values, your impact, and your courage.

At this WIC Week Kickoff Party, we’ll talk about:

✨ Leading with intention
✨ Building influence that lasts
✨Creating impact in both life and business
✨Showing up boldly in rooms where decisions are made

If you’re ready to level up- not just professionally, but personally - I’d love to see you there.

📅 March 2
⏱️ 3:30–6:30 PM
📍 Seattle

Let’s build strong - together.

What does high performance look like in an industry built from the ground up?
It looks like discipline.
It looks like ownership.
It looks like teams who show up - every single day - ready to lay the foundation others will drive on.

Honored to keynote the UAPA Utah Asphalt Pavement Association Conference Luncheon and speak to the leaders who literally pave the way for our communities.

Here’s what I believe
~ Excellence isn’t just about the finished product.
~ It’s about mindset.
~ It’s about culture.
~ It’s about the standard you refuse to lower - even when no one is watching.

Whether you’re leading a crew, a company, or an entire industry, performance is never accidental. It’s built intentionally.

To everyone in the room: thank you for the work you do, the pride you carry, and the legacy you’re laying down one project at a time.

Let’s raise the standard. 🔥

True connection isn’t built on the number of words spoken, but on the warmth, presence, and energy you bring into someone’s space. Make people feel seen, valued, and uplifted — that’s where real bonds grow.
