* Turning Tech Experts into Human Leaders *Although people are the lifeblood of an organization, career development and trajectory tend to prioritize technical skills over human power skills, creating leaders who are ill-equipped to lead. These power skills - formerly referred to as 'soft skills' (think collaboration, self-awareness, empathy, trust building...) - are crucial as we progress as people and leaders. I design and facilitate experiences to develop these important and often overlooked skills, integrate them with our technical and functional skills, and help build leaders with better balance and greater impact.* Freelance Work *- Learning Team Leader, Women in Leadership Institute, 2021 - Present Linkage, a SHRM Company- Leadership Development Facilitator, Multiple Programs, 2023 - Present Relevance Learning- Senior Facilitator, Leadership Academies, 2018 Gartner
