I understand that the “one size fits all” training of the past is just not effective in any way, and as a result, my key focus is to create, implement and deliver custom training programs that accelerate employee development, increase work satisfaction, and enhance overall morale. Perhaps the most challenging and satisfying part of my role is to train employees on a global basis, across numerous time zones, and I also enjoy traveling internationally to give location-specific training. Despite regional/international geographical differences, it is important to apply consistent methodology for instructional design, development and evaluation, even if the content changes depending on the audience. I remain current on innovations and developments in training and instructional methodologies, consistently evaluate departmental operational effectiveness and efficiency, conduct cost effectiveness assessments while monitoring budgetary constraints, and provide recommendations to improve performance. My expertise within Korean and non-Korean audiences has enabled me to expertly deliver outstanding results across multiple clients. As a Business Operations Consultant, I facilitate brand excellence by leading, coaching, and training business owners in all aspects of the business, including brand strategy, systems development, process improvement, and human resource development. I drive continuous improvement and best practices mindset through innovation, optimizing and automating processes, systems, and tools. In addition, I created and implemented a business model for education commerce during the pandemic, charting the path for a coaching and women's leadership education start-up to pivot all business and client operations to online. Lastly, I stay current with L&D processes to ensure that training classes/materials remain relevant, and continue to support participant performance and growth.

Owning my own company has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember as I always had an entrepreneurial streak, as well as the desire to strike out on my own. I am proud of the fact that I built the company from the ground up, perfectly poised to meet changing consumer beverage trends. As a result, I led one of the first Kombucha companies in South Korea, an early mover in the functional beverage category market niche, through immersion into regulatory, marketing, operational, training, cultural, and performance expectations. I successfully conceptualized business strategies and brand identity, including visual aesthetic and written copy, and designed and created outward-facing materials, including promotional materials, website, and social media. The South Korean food and beverage manufacturing market had its own complexities, and I successfully navigated these regulatory complexities, quickly gaining a reputation as a competent, knowledgeable leader with a strong understanding of key issues.

My success as a Language Arts Teacher made me an ideal fit for this Director of International Programs role, a position I enjoyed tremendously. It is in this role where I really developed and grew my relationship-building and communication skills, and also where I came to understand that each person brings value to the equation. It is also this role that solidified my desire to deliver instructional program design, development, delivery, and tracking, applying a solid understanding of the intersectionality of leadership development and talent management, as well as commitment to Korean culture. In this role, I successfully developed a government- and university-accredited 16-week certification course on traditional best-in-class Korean brewing practices to novice and intermediate learners, inspiring the next generation of leaders.

In fact, this role started me on an always-learning path that I continue to this day.
