About Me
I have taught leadership to over 2,100 managers in executive classes at universities and in consulting, and I’ve worked directly with hundreds of people seeking to improve their confidence and personal lives. I have heard their greatest challenges and finest practices.
And I am expert at bringing the best of science to advise and develop them. Google Scholar ranks me #1 at my university with over 16,000 citations of my published work.
My life’s work has centered on recognizing and honoring the human spirit. I have done this through research and consulting on confidence, personal dignity, and leader humility (regard for others’ dignity).

Personal dignity is a cornerstone of identity and well-being. Prioritizing your own and others’ dignity transforms interactions at work, home, and in community. Check back for self-help resources in the near future.
