MY BACKGROUND
I have global, enterprise-wide expertise in leadership development, talent assessment, talent management, succession planning, executive coaching, organizational development and effectiveness, change management, full training life cycle, talent analytics, managing cross-functional teams, and building/maintaining stakeholder relationships.
I am certified to administer and interpret the Myers-Briggs Type Instrument (MBTI), Extraordinary Leader 360 Assessment, and Hogan Personality assessments; am an experienced DiSC presenter; and am certified in Agile and LEAN Six Sigma methodologies. I am also trained in multiple adult learning, motivation, and personality theories; advanced statistical analysis; instructional design theories; and, training evaluation models.
My passion is to help leaders at all levels realize their potential, whether through 1:1 coaching or group development. Seeing someone have the "ah ha!" moment that leads to personal growth is what provides me fulfillment at work. Contact me today to discuss how I can assist your organization!
