What Leaders Say About Glasa

"Discussions with her have helped me look past roadblocks and take action towards the challenges I've been facing. She does this by asking probing questions that help me get to the solution myself. I've already successfully implemented the strategies that we discussed and have seen positive outcomes. In many instances, inaction due to the fear of failure can be the biggest roadblock."

About Glasa

Glasa believes that you were not meant to simply survive. You were born to thrive! During her journey as a human, leader, consultant, and now coach, she has noticed that so many of us fail to get out of our own way. When we can courageously step into the uncomfortable, life becomes more interesting, less scary, more fulfilling, and ultimately more fun!

She has over 20 years of experience in growing and leading businesses. From corporations to small businesses, well established organizations and start-ups, she has a successful track record of growing profits, revenues, teams, and leaders. It was from this experience she began to realize the impact of personal growth on professional and business growth, and began coaching business owners and leaders.

She is passionate about creating equity, especially for women of color, and believes there is a gap in the coaching industry when it comes to serving marginalized identities. When not coaching she volunteers for her local Habitat for Humanity, co-hosts a virtual community for black entrepreneurs, and co-founded an inclusive community for local women entrepreneurs.

My Ideal Day Involves

Early AM quiet time, watching the sunrise, taking my dogs on a hike, coaching & business planning, quality time with family & friends, reading an intriguing book

What Makes Me Smile

Witnessing others show up as their authentic unrefined self, observing the beauty in other cultures, visioning, feeling the sun on my face/grass on my bare feet, hiking, camping, traveling, road trips, game nights, singing, dancing, good music, time with family and friends, making my husband laugh, sitting by the fire pit, seeing my pups run free-spirited in the forest, good food, and a great dark beer
