As Managing Partner, I lead a professional services firm providing consulting, coaching, and learning and development support.Working closely with executives and leaders, I deliver professional development services to clients in a range of industries. Drawing on principles of adult learning, this support leads to stronger performance for individuals, teams, and organizations. My main areas of focus include executive coaching, leadership development programs, and hands-on workshops honing foundational business and interpersonal skills. Examples include:- Designing a multi-modal, year-long leadership development program to help participants more intentionally develop their direct reports and apply systems thinking to unlock collaboration in a highly decentralized professional services organization- Offering coaching support to women leaders at tech startups, leading to successful funding rounds- Designing and delivering learning offerings to orient newly-hired data scientists to the business skills required for success at a leading insurance company- Conducting a high-touch diagnostic to identify cultural gaps and barriers for the banking practice of a management consulting firm; resulting program drove engagement and retention.
