Known for her passion to help everyone around her succeed, Summer has been leading and coaching others towards their highest potential for almost 25 years.

Summer brings practical ideas, insight, and wisdom into leadership development, mindset for growth and change, and has become a thought leader and go-to coach for those making bold life and career transitions. 

Prior to starting Purpose Driven, Summer built and sold a successful financial planning practice.  As a trail-blazing leader in this industry, she became the first and only woman in the history of the firm to achieve a number of significant accomplishments. Her unique approach to business development and authentic relational style drew advisors from across the country to her for coaching.

Summer began her career working in the coal-fired and nuclear power industry where she earned her stripes leading large scale maintenance and construction projects.  But it was the opportunity to speak to groups of fellow employees and train them that truly ignited her passion for what would become Purpose Driven Coaching & Consulting.

From a corporate leader to an entrepreneur, she has a truly unique perspective. She is also known for being unafraid to make bold change, her down-to-earth personality, and her genuine love for people.

In addition to her educational background, Summer is part of the John Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, an ATD Certified Coach, and is a graduate of Harvard University’s Professional Development Program focused on Creativity in Management.

Summer is married to the love of her life and best friend, Jason Lee.
