I have a proven track record of authenticating company values to impact employee engagement\, efficiency in systems\, and rapid growth of bottom line. \n\n\n\nI founded Wayfinders Coaching & Consulting after spending over a decade in operations management and people leadership in high-performance organizations. I’ve worked cross-functionally in HR\, business development\, change management and learning and development\, and across many industries–from nonprofit work\, higher education\, food service\, and retail–to DEI consulting. \n\n\n\nWhat I found along the way is that the core ingredients for successful relationships (and ultimately business growth) are rooted in emotional intelligence\, trust-based communication\, and intercultural competence. Now I offer coaching\, training\, consulting\, and thought-partnership for individuals and teams seeking to build these skills.I work with an incredibly diverse team of practitioners\, with go-to methodologies that include critical HROD\, change management frameworks\, emotional intelligence (EQ-i)\, intercultural development (IDI)\, systems audits\, and cultural assessments.
