Facilitator and Certified Conversation Changer
Specializing in shifting the tone and direction of conversations to help leaders enhance collaboration, inspire innovation, and boost engagement to propel their organizations forward.
I have a natural desire and proven ability to bring out the best in an organization.
For me this comes from a long background of leadership experience in Client Services, New Business Development, and Marketing where I was both the "face of the company" and the "voice of the client." Some of my favorite stories of helping organizations move forward are in small and mid-sized B2B companies and social service and Community Action agencies.
As a certified Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator and Conversations Worth Having Practitioner, I'm committed to helping leaders shift the conversation away from a feeling of being “stuck” to one of empowerment while engaging the people essential to their success in ways that feel like natural next steps.
Why positivity?
When people are positively triggered, we are neurologically, psychologically, and physically able to activate our best thinking and our emotional intelligence. These vital resources are necessary for organizations that want to remain relevant and viable in the future.
When we spend time discovering strengths and other organizational assets, we’re better equipped to proactively and confidently build on “what’s working.”
Why does engagement matter?
It's widely reported that between 70-90% of strategic plans fails and about 70-75% of employees feel disengaged at work. If we flip that, it’s likely that the 25-30% of employees who are engaged are driving the 10-30% of strategy that succeeds. That’s where I come in. The collaborative and generative nature of the approaches I utilize allows me to help leaders and their stakeholders tap into the unrealized potential within their organizations. Discovering this potential acts as a springboard for future success along with the desire to make it happen. Oh, and the other happy by-product? It's a natural way for leaders to lean in to new and emerging strengths-based leadership styles that define today's work environments.
