Hi, I’m Hilani.
Pronounced: (Hill-lonnie)
About Me
Personal Bio
Founder, Author, Wife, Mother, Friend, Shenanigans Organizer
For more than two decades, I’ve had a front-row seat to how ambitious leaders operate, serving as a trusted partner to CEOs, executives, and high-performing teams focused on stronger results and greater productivity. Those who know me often say my enthusiasm is contagious and my ability to solve problems with a fresh perspective never disappoints.
I’ve witnessed how poor time investment and extra effort hurts outcomes. My son once told me, “Mom, you are obsessed with efficiency.” I immediately laughed and responded with, “You’re not wrong (and we’re better off because of it).”
Passing down ‘efficiency’ as an obsession, I’ll take it.
Disclaimer: At my age, “shenanigans organizer” means day-time activities, last call at 7 p.m., and lights out at 10 p.m.
The Family
My husband and I have been married since 2000, and together we’re raising two incredible boys in Colorado. You’ll often find us teaming up for a round of golf, rolling dice, shuffling cards or exploring new destinations on vacation.
As the founder of Exceptional Talent Group and Exceptional Admins, I partner with leaders through executive hiring, keynote speaking, workshops, and advisory. My work helps organizations prepare for the future of work, creating a greater return on the people, time, and effort already in play.
Strengthening how leaders and teams work is my healthy obsession.
