WORKSHOPS & COACHING

 

Workshops are my favorite way to go deep on a particular topic as a team. because It’s a great opportunity to work in small groups together for folks looking for new approaches to tackle problems.. Plus they are tons of fun and very interactive. People leave energized and excited, with practical new tools and techniques they can use right away.

ADVISOR

I am so thankful for a career that has spanned “Big” Fortune 100 companies as well as “Small” startups. The lessons I have learned on how to find the right balance when it comes to bringing together the speed and agility of the startup style of working with the relationships and scale of big company thinking has been eye-opening. I find some much excitement working with companies to help them excel and find the right working culture as they explore transformation.
