I also provide research-based, interactive group workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions to leaders and managers on the topics of effective communication, social emotional intelligence [SEI], giving/receiving feedback, interpersonal conflict avoidance/resolution, etc. to improve leader/team communication and improve business outcomes. AS A CONSULTANT: I partner with leaders, teams, and HR/L&D departments when high-stakes projects require a keen sensitivity for navigating the multi-layered personal and professional dynamics at play. I'm called in when delivering exceptional outcomes and maintaining positive relationships is essential. I help clients set an effective, impactful interpersonal strategy and then help them weave that into all aspects of planning, development & design, UX, infrastructure/policy, internal and external communications, etc. AS A TRAINER & COACH: I work directly with leaders or teams who want to improve their people and communication skills. My interactive workshops/training and 1:1 coaching quickly demystify "why" interpersonal conflict occurs and teaches immediately actionable, science-based strategies that help people AVOID and DEACTIVATE the knee-jerk emotional reactions that flare up and prevent positive/productive communication from happening. This work helps increase self-awareness, shifts perspectives in powerful ways, identifies gaps in interpersonal strategy, and illuminates unseen possibilities for more effective collaboration and communication with others.
