Description: 

What I know for sure is that we never stop growing or developing. Organizations that truly embrace this have the best cultures and a competitive advantage in the marketplace. In my career as a HR Director, I had the opportunity to live in seven cities, two countries and work with eight companies. No matter where I was, culture was the key factor of determining success or mediocrity. Some leaders embraced it. Some leaders tolerated it. Some fought it. And, the organization thrived or suffered for it. The more I embraced this idea of culture, the more I realized the impact I had on it and how I could broaden and deepen my influence. This awareness lured me to invest in myself through educational and experiential opportunities. I now work with organizations-leaders and teams-to explore and refine their culture-in definition and in practice-to build teams that play to win, not just not lose. To say working with culture and emotional intelligence is a game changer is to state the obvious.

Culture lives with the leaders of the organization. My work with leaders has them lean in to bringing their best self and overcoming obstacles in their way.  We explore both the skills and the approach to leadership. My clients look in the mirror and appreciate their strengths look for opportunities to explore how they might approach new, different or challenging circumstances.
