Over my five years as a contractor for Productivity Improvers/People Improvers, I have delivered numerous Lean Leader sessions, led teams in the Simulated Work Environment, and facilitated several Step In Women programs. These experiences have deepened my expertise in Lean methodology while allowing me to build extensive networks across Tasmania. One standout success story involved an employee on the verge of termination due to poor behaviour and attitude.
