About

Introduction

Welcome. I love to help leaders and organizations strategize, grow and succeed. With my wealth of experience and expertise, I have a proven track record of delivering strategic “means and ends” for my clients. A few more words...

Global HR Experience

I have 30 years of invaluable HR expertise obtained at 3M Company. During my journey I led strategic HR operations for multi-billion dollar businesses across numerous markets and geographies. I’ve led numerous large-scale organizational transformations, coached C-suite executives, and cultivated high potential leader pipelines that still contribute to the ongoing success of the company at the highest levels. Furthermore, my commitment to diversity and inclusion has been unwavering, resulting in global expansion of diverse populations in increasingly inclusive organizations.

Education

I have a Master's of Education in Organizational Development from the University of Minnesota. I also have professional credentials from Harvard University and professional development firms. Through my education I have applied a variety of consulting methods, both academic and trial and error, to represent a strong portfolio of results-oriented methods that will benefit you as much as my previous clients.

Focus

I focus on businesses of any size where I can apply my experience and expertise to help you and your organization grow. I'm global, meaning I'm available anywhere.

Socratic Method

While there are numerous methods and techniques to conduct this kind of work, I primarily use the Socratic Method. This is a discovery and learning process that involves asking questions to stimulate critical thinking, self reflection and exploration of underlying assumptions; all in service to delivering exceptional results.

My Mission

I help business leaders and their organizations strategize, grow and succeed through collaborative people-oriented services. This is my purpose and the key to all of my work. It describes what I do, who I serve, and the benefits I bring.

My Vision

To be seen as the best HR consulting choice in the markets I serve. This is my long term aspirational goal that describes the future state of my services. It guides my direction as much as the mission does.

My vision is to distinguish my services in a crowded HR consulting market by sticking closely to my client base and my three services: Leadership Coaching, Organization Development and Group Facilitation.

My Values

These are the values, principles and beliefs that guide my work. These serve as standards for how I engage with my clients.

Put the client first

You come before any other priorities in my professional life. This means delivering responsive, creative and quality work whenever and wherever I can. I encourage you to challenge me on this.

See the potential in everyone

Everyone has the potential to be someone or something better than they already are. Through my services I can help unlock that potential for everyone to whom my work applies.

Grow yourself, grow your business

Businesses are extensions of the people who lead them. If leaders focus on their own professional and personal growth, they will surely see results in the businesses they lead. Thoughtful application of new learning is always encouraged and expected here.

Live the "wellness wheel"

The wellness wheel is a visual guide that depicts multiple dimensions of our lives. You can Google it. While there is no single authoritative wheel, there are several that cover these common dimensions: spiritual, emotional, professional, intellectual, social and physical. To "live" the wheel is to seek fulfillment and balance across all dimensions.

Pay it forward

We should not expect our good deeds to be rewarded in kind. Our good deeds should be passed on to the next person and so on. This creates positive chain reactions of goodwill throughout our immediate domains and all over the world.

Your Benefit

Results

We start and end with results in mind. By managing our "means" correctly, we will achieve our "ends" and more.

Fresh Eyes

There is no substitute for objective, unbiased viewpoints that create new opportunities to grow and succeed. I can be those eyes.

Customized Solutions

Because no two businesses are the same, all solutions are customized to your unique business. Never will a previous solution be blindly applied.

Employee Ownership

Because all of these services rely on the Socratic method of questions and answers, increased employee ownership and engagement are inherently achieved.

Cost Effectiveness

Typical costs charged by larger consulting firms for similar work are exponentially higher than mine; not to mention the value I deliver for my prices. I encourage you to challenge me on this.
