Hey there. Welcome to UpwardAction.com.
I’m an executive coach, strategist, and attorney with over 25 years of experience helping leaders show up with clarity, lead with confidence, and grow with purpose—especially in times of innovation, transition, and change.
As the founder of UpwardAction® Advisory and FaithFocusFlow® Global Learning Center, I support lawyers, executives, and digital entrepreneurs in navigating the demands of an AI-driven world without losing sight of their values or their vision. I combine my background in corporate law and federal leadership with neuroscience-based coaching, AI governance strategy, and personal development tools to help leaders align their decisions, teams, and systems.
Among other roles in business and government, I’ve served as Acting General Counsel of a publicly traded company, and later as a Senior Agency Official for Privacy and Managing Associate General Counsel in the federal government. These roles gave me firsthand experience leading during high-stakes transitions, driving cross-agency collaboration, and designing frameworks for complex regulatory environments.
I’ve been honored to coach and consult with organizations like NASA, the White House Fellows Program, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the DC Bar Association. My work has also been featured in publications like Black Enterprise Magazine and Speaker Magazine.
Today, through my proprietary UpwardAction® Frameworks, I help high-performing professionals develop executive presence, build AI-ready systems, and lead future-focused teams. Whether you're pivoting careers, leading change, or building a business, I’m here to support you in aligning your leadership with your life’s purpose—so you can create meaningful, measurable impact in work and in the world.
