As a kid growing up, I had 23 separate home addresses and attended 4 third grades and 3 fourth grades. As a result, I have learned how to be both resilient and effective in entering a new culture by listening, observing, adapting, and ultimately becoming successful. With more than 20 years’ experience as an executive leader and coach, I know how to connect with people quickly by listening to understand who they are and what motivates them. I have learned how to help individuals, teams, and entire organizations connect and optimize. It starts with self-awareness, listening and feedback skills—and a commitment to engagement. A disengaged culture leads to low productivity, high turnover, and affects the bottom line. Companies need their people to show up every day energized to give it their all. A hallmark of my career has been to partner with executive leadership to foster people development, engagement, and effective communications to achieve outstanding results. I’ve built new start up HR teams from the ground up, turned around failing groups and coached executives on personal and workplace effectiveness for those tough moments – through periods of accelerated growth, economic downturn, and most recently during the global pandemic. As a trusted advisor to senior management, it’s my goal to leverage HR as a strategic business partner and seize opportunities for improvement and growth, I take a people first approach – using my desire for purpose-driven work with the tools of HR to do good work and make an impact.
