Bio & Credentials

Hi I’m Courtney! Organizational professional, moved to academia in pursuit of my passion and purpose to aid in developing authentic wholehearted leaders. (Leaders who are “all in” with their true self and their teams requiring courage, compassion, and a deep connection with both their faith and people. I have a great love for self-development/leadership books, weight lifting, hiking, embracing sunsets/sunrise, coffee, my research work, and most of all the continuation to dig deep into my purpose, and my “why.” My soul mate/husband is Steven, and is a production supervisor at Neapco components in Beatrice, Nebraska and we just recently became residents of Washington, Kansas. Between the two of us we have 4 kids, Drew (32); Abbey(21); Denton (20); and Maverick (13). Of course I can’t leave out our fur kids – Rubble our English Bulldog is 4 and Lenny our yellow Labrador is 2.
