A few tidbits :) ...
I once did stand-up but no one laughed
I was a caregiver for my late husband (had ALS)
I want to live in expansive states, but also silly ones
I have an infinite passion of expanding potential beyond what we thought possible. Ever so interested in human intelligence and human behavior - what pulls us down, what makes us soar, what makes us engage, what gives meaning to our life, and most importantly, what makes us thrive?
"Getting the results from the 360 assessment was a difficult experience that Lav coached me through with intelligence, humor , and compassion."

Lead Scientist, iMicrobes
My experience brings together tech, change mgmt, learning and leadership to help organizations go through transformations successfully. As Head of L&D, I’ve launched a learning department from scratch for a global workforce, meeting the needs of internal as well as external clients (customers channel sales, partners).
My leadership Development work is vast - Designed countless leadership programs for different tiers of the org at Cisco. At AT&T, I designed a program for Executive Women Leaders. At MIT, I re-designed a delivery mechanism to disseminate their research and coached research professors through it. I taught Leadership Seminar at NCSU, coached executives and leaders I various sectors, and so many more experiences.
Strategy
I thrive on people development and have built turnkey programs and coached leaders with measurable impact and value. I've also taught Leadership seminars at NCSU & WSU, designed global leadership programs, coached leaders at startups, and academia including MIT, and Fortune 500 companies. My doctoral dissertation was studying the cross-section of culture and education in undergraduate students. It was an ethnography, so I've always been interred in human behavior. My business experience is extensive: a Math & Reading Center for K-12; nuLimina, offering single-gender classes for women & girls; Alyce, a tech startup that was a mentoring marketplace for women and accepted into Impact Hub Workforce Development Accelerator and Y-Combinator Online Cohort '18, and established Women Leaders Rising, a cohort based leadership program for corporate women.
