"I have a gift for seeing to the essence of things."

Where do you stand in life at this moment?

I have a truly fantastic life. I feel like I have the best job in the world, supporting people to do incredible things and make significant contributions to our world. I get to be with amazing people that I love and work in beautiful places in the world. I have already done so much more in my life and work that I ever imagined, and that is a great place to be.

Who are your heroes?

My heroes are people who live from their hearts and give incredible gifts to the world. They are my friends who live with a commitment to making a difference for others. My father is one of my heroes. Even though I work differently than he has, he has been a very important role model for me. And my mother is one of my heroes for her sense of grace, style, and warm hospitality. Heroes for me are not people that I put on a pedestal to admire but rather people who I can walk alongside and co-create with.

What are your sources?

Daily meditation and reflective practice, nature, photography, Consciousness, the people with whom I work…

What are the things you dream of?

I dream of a world where everyone has the chance to know who they are at the soul level, to recognize why they are here, and to build a life for themselves that allows them to live that soul mission or purpose in service of their own learning and growth and in service of all of life.

What is/are your talent(s)?

I have a gift for seeing to the essence of things. I have a gift for calling people forth to their greatness. I have a gift for creating safe and transformational space. I have a gift for taking big concepts and making them understandable and applicable in daily life and leadership. I have a great gift for teaching. And I have a gift for singing.

What event has particularly made you to what you are now?

There have been so many—a transformational shift on top of a mountain in the Austrian Alps; an energetic shift in my being while singing the title role in Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” in Baltimore many years ago; how my parents raised me; daily visits with the unconditional love giver of my childhood—I could go on and on. There is no one event. There is just life and its many wondrous gifts and opportunities, many of which were cleverly disguised as huge challenges!

What do you wish to realize in any case before you die?

In many ways, I feel that I have done that. My soul mission is “I liberate and empower.” I have lived that with courage and joy for all of my life, helping people set themselves free from whatever holds them back and empowering them to create the lives they feel called to live. At this point in my life, there are no big goals or dreams. I just pay attention to the service I’m being asked for and surrender to that service. Each time I do, something amazing happens—more gifts given and received.

What are your motives?

To liberate and empower. To serve the evolution of presence of being in this world. To help people discover who they are when they stand in their true authentic power and strength and then show up in the world in that presence.

What are the things you are dedicated to?

The evolution of personal presence.

What are you proud of?

I’m proud of who I am, of the many things that I’ve helped people create and accomplish, of my work, of my books…

How do you relax? How do you recharge your battery?

I must have access to nature and the outdoors—to light and sun and life. I enjoy long dinners with friends and fantastic and stimulating conversation. I love nature photography. I play bridge. And on a daily basis, there is my meditation and reflection practice.

How do you want people to remember you?

As someone who helped them open doors within themselves for greater understanding, discovery, peace, and empowerment. As someone who carried the torch for personal presence and its power in our world.

What are you grateful for?

Everything that comes my way. I can especially write that right now as there are some pretty big challenges in my life. Yet those challenges are bringing so many gifts. I’m grateful for it all and consider everything that comes my way to be my teacher and something that can serve me if I will let go of my pre-conceived thoughts about what it should or should not be.

What is your motto in life?

Here I would come back to my soul mission: I liberate and empower.
