So … what do I do…
I am in the leadership business. More specifically, I help smart, ambitious, hard-working people be good leaders using a variety of tech tools, social media and coaching.
Leaders are busy people. They learn while they do. I offer tools and processes to accelerate leadership development in a realistic, applied way. It could be a custom app, a video, a podcast, a text or a phone call that nudges leaders to do the right thing.
Labels that work for me …
Entrepreneur, corporate executive, management consultant, small business owner, mother of three, wife of one, small horse farm owner, sociologist, award-winning author, book ghostwriter for busy leaders, lifetime tech learner, social media aficionado, and alumni of Springboard Enterprises (2001).
What else can I tell you? I am an expert in change management – work culture and organization, I help solve complex people problems in organizations particularly related to technology change and adoption of new ways of doing business, work process and communications.
