Through these five high growth start-ups, I experienced the lowest of lows (deep unhappiness) and the highest of highs (gleeful happiness).  If I had not experienced the bad, I would not be able to deeply appreciate the good. I could take all these learnings and apply this crystallized intelligence in order to help leaders of high impact companies.  After coming out of my ‘dark hole’ of depression last year, it has become clearer to me than ever that  helping leaders reach their fullest potential brings me happiness. I have the best job!
