Leadership from the inside out.

Sense of Purpose

Your company’s mission, vision, and values are just the beginning. Today’s workforce needs to know that the work they do is meaningful personally, not just corporately. Social responsibility, community involvement, engagement, and personal and professional fulfillment weigh heavily in the employment mix right alongside compensation, benefits, and flexible schedules.

Collaborative Culture

I work directly with teams to help them adopt a Negotiator Mindset, which empowers them to support one another in important meetings, pressure situations, and during any kind of negotiation. I help them understand when to apply strategies and how to leverage language to support one another in high-stakes situations. Participants learn to leverage their individual and collective strengths, proactively advocating for themselves, their colleagues, and the team as a whole.

Situational Awareness

The ability to accurately assess the needs and motivations of people in any given situation (including yourself), along with any associated dynamics, is an essential skill for both negotiation and interpersonal communication. The C.L.A.W. approach empowers leaders to approach difficult conversations and high-stakes situations with confidence, adjusting to ensure others' perspectives align with the way you want to be known and understood.

Building and Leveraging Influence

Sadly, training and development is often an afterthought—a necessary evil in response to a problem instead of a strategy for growth, efficiency, productivity, and business continuity. Lack of training, little to no continuing education, and undefined career paths make for uninspired, disengaged, and lower performing teams. Moreover, without these systems in place, undocumented institutional knowledge may be lost over time as key employees leave or retire.
