I have invested 25 years of my career in building partnerships across workforce, industry, and education.
Through that work, its clear that most organizations struggle with internal conflicts and communication breakdowns. Many operations are challenged to break free from the shackles of status-quo complacency, and the result is operational stagnation.
Yet, thriving operations have found a way to generate powerful outcomes. Not because they have better strategies or more talented team members, but because they have succeeded in forging thriving networks of collaboration by aligning Culture, Strategy, and Leadership.
I incorporate the spirit of collaboration into all of my work, as an educator, a leader, and a facilitator, forging alignment to deliver high-impact outcomes is at the core of work.
