25+ years experience in staffing (including interviewing and hiring), training, quality assurance, and developing performance. The past 20 years have been focused on the contact center industry. My experience is in innovation of existing quality assurance programs or developing these programs from the beginning. The primary goal of these programs being to improve quality of interactions for the customers, the agents, and the operations of the center; secondly, improvement of individual and team performance within the center is a focus; and finally, creating and providing training programs to support quality within the business. Industries worked in are retail, wireless, healthcare, and technology. I am skilled at the management level of training, quality assurance ("This call may be recorded..."), performance development, training leaders to coach, mentor, and develop their direct reports. I view at people as "well intended" and teach others to look at their direct reports with that filter. This allows leaders to see the best in each individual, possibly better than the individuals see in themselves. On Myers Briggs I am strong on the "Feeling" side of "thinking and feeling" and this is reflected in my work. I know that companies can achieve business results through their people. I bring enthusiasm and energy to my work as well as a developed sense of humor. My background working for great brands like Starbucks Coffee Company, CellularOne, and McKesson as well as staffing for Adobe, Microsoft, Verizon, T-Mobile, Seattle Childrens Hospital have provided a value add to my work. My degree in secondary education has provided a foundation for my work in training and development of people. I have also volunteered as an advisory chair for a technical college committee and judged annual DECA competition for Washington State DECA.
