WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
Guide your organization through meaningful transitions
We don’t just change processes; we change perspectives and habits. And when that happens, your organization doesn’t just survive — it flourishes.
Coach and provide expertise in the strategic use of HR practices
I help clarify the structure, purpose, and meaning of work, guiding your teams to collaborate more effectively.
By thoughtfully examining the roles people play and the value they bring, I help ensure the right person is in the right place — and receiving fair pay.
Start conversations that change how people think and act
Leaders like you can embrace new ways of working, guiding your teams through change and finding success. Together, we turn experience into action and help your organization thrive.
Build HR systems that reflect your organization’s values
When your team finds purpose in their work, they give their best to the community. And when the community feels that trust, they flourish together.
Engage people in designing new ways to work
Old ways of doing things can linger, hidden like stones in a riverbed, slowing the current of your work. Technology alone won’t clear them away — only people can do that.
MORE ABOUT ME
Put people at the heart of your work, and you’ll find solutions that serve them well.
In 1990, I started my consulting practice because I believed people deserve more than a list of recommendations. Real change happens when people are engaged, heard, and empowered to shape the path forward.
Trust is built when we speak clearly, listen deeply, and act honestly.
Before that, I worked at Clemans, Nelson & Associates, a Midwest labor relations firm, where I represented clients before the State Labor Relations Board. I learned from seasoned negotiators and labor advocates who valued strong worker-employer relationships. Their mentorship taught me that fairness and trust are the cornerstones of any healthy workplace.
Look at the whole picture — the people, the processes, and the purpose — and the path forward will become clearer.
Going back further, my first job was as a residential counselor for emotionally troubled children at The Villa Maria in Baltimore. There, I learned the power of group dynamics — and the importance of thinking on my feet. Those early experiences shaped my understanding of people, conflict, and the need for thoughtful intervention.
Forty years in public service have taught me this: the best answers come from experience, patience, and knowing how people work together.
I earned my Master’s in Management, Labor, and Human Resources from The Ohio State University, but my real education has been a lifelong journey of listening, observing, and learning.
My mission is to help leaders and HR professionals create vibrant, ethical, and inclusive workplaces where people thrive. At my core, I am — and always will be — a careful observer of people and the ways they work.
If you’re ready to create a workplace where people thrive and change takes root, let’s talk.
