My specialty is helping executives and teams incorporate the Clifton StrengthsFinder™ methodology into a results driven framework that maximizes efficacy and awareness of theme dynamics impacting organizational performance.
With over 25 years of corporate experience, I have worked with brand leaders such as Merck & Co, Trammell Crow Company, The Washington Post Company, & Time Warner and have practical leadership experience driving bottom-line results in rapidly changing competitive environments from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups and non-profits.
Throughout my professional journey, I have discovered that my unique gift is helping other people recognize and exploit their unique gifts. The Clifton StrengthsFinder™ tool kit is one of the most effective lenses through which to discover and enhance pathways for individual and organizational growth.
An expert in developing and mentoring teams, I am adept at enabling people to reflect on their challenges and help them create a road-map for using their strengths to drive continuous improvements to accelerate growth, and/or create efficiencies or revitalize operations where necessary.
My dominant themes, professional and life experiences combine dynamically to serve my clients’ and fuel their growth. My top ten themes are: Restorative | Achiever | Connectedness | Learner | Input | Arranger | Responsibility | Individualization | Relator | Strategic
My consulting and coaching practice is enhanced by my extensive background serving in a wide range of industries as well as serving in general management roles such as President, COO, & CMO. I have been appointed to leadership roles on numerous executive boards and have a remarkable track record of successfully leading complex marketing & operations through the effective integration of strategic planning, operational execution, brand strategy/communications & marketing implementation, & partnership building.
I graduated with honors from both San Jose State University and Harvard Business School. My husband Phil, Border Collie Finn McCool, and cats Max & Billie live in Southern California.
