Human Resources is long overdue for a redesign. A modernizing. A humanizing. A total rebranding. To not just challenge the status quo, but change it.

I've spent over two decades developing fit for purpose teams, programs, and processes that help people be better, bolder, and more bad-ass. Always driven to innovate new ways of working, now more than ever, I’m passionate about writing a new playbook for activating, motivating, and developing a company's most valuable asset; their people.

Areas of Expertise

Strategy

It’s hard to see a new way forward from the inside; harder to separate the people from the organizational needs. I bring perspective; fresh, innovative, radical to help you path the way to your goals.

  • Needs discovery

  • Workforce assessment

  • Skill alignment

  • Planning and execution collaboration

  • Career path design

Leadership

I believe no one wants to be a bad leader, and yet companies everywhere have them. Galvanized leadership; where leaders at all levels share the same vision for leading and are held accountable to their people, is what is needed.

  • Leadership architecture + organizational design

  • Leadership values

  • Competency alignment

  • Leadership development

  • Manager training

Performance

The programs and systems for performance management are remnants of the industrial revolution, and were not only terrible back then, but now they are reckless ways of doing and believing.

  • Performance reviews

  • Goal practices

  • Psychological safety in feedback

  • Building parallel career paths for non-management and management

  • Succession planning

Communication

Writing is the one thing I've been doing my entire life. It’s how I make sense of the world. I've been finding the sweet spot between content, delivery, and timing for two decades. From writing content to designing writing classes, I aspire to make words sing and rid the world of TL:DR drivel. 

  • Employee communications

  • Content strategy

  • Internal marketing + email campaigns

  • Contributing writer

  • Audio scripts

3 key ingredients

Emotional Intelligence

The fundamentals of emotional intelligence go beyond self-awareness. Humans are at their best when they can self-manage their emotions and make space to manage relationships and build social awareness.

EQ has become the foundation of leadership. It's the new Manager 101.

Psychological Safety

The shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. It can be defined as "being able to show and employ one's self without fear of negative consequences of self-image, status or career" (Kahn 1990, p. 708).

It’s the foundation for diversity, inclusion, development, risk-taking, engagement, innovation, and much more.

Culture of Development

From individual contributors to senior leadership and beyond, on-going development is critical. Thriving companies have a culture of teaching each other. Of seeking personal growth opportunities and supporting each other on those journeys.

Understanding what you know, what you don’t, where your opportunities are, and where you can help others grow.
