Building a business is an accomplishment. Keeping it profitable and relevant in today’s global economy is more challenging than ever. What’s the secret sauce to succeeding? Change. I’ve spent over 25 years leading businesses and teams in start-ups and Fortune 500 legacy companies in aerospace, manufacturing, consulting, government and real estate sectors. Across multiple industries, businesses often have the same problems in common; leadership and culture alignment, disengaged employees that are overallocated, projects that are overrun on cost and schedule, supply chain issues, manufacturing inefficiencies, quality management defects and customer acquisition costs that are through the roof. At the root of is these challenges is the resistance to change. Change is uncomfortable whether you’re a seasoned business leader or an entry level individual contributor. It doesn’t have to be this way. My expertise includes evaluating six strategic functional areas of your business. Conducting this comprehensive evaluation clarifies which issues are critical and need to be addressed. Additionally, I can coach your team through the next steps of implementing solutions by utilizing a change management process that minimizes organizational disruption. Are you ready to change and solve problems in your business? I value my client’s satisfaction and will listen intently to your concerns to develop a solution that works for your unique business. Let’s connect to discuss how I can provide customized consulting services for your business. Services Offered: o Business Analysis & Scaling/Comprehensive Evaluation of Functional Departments o Root Cause Analysis of Critical Issues/Change Management Implementation o Strategic Planning/Business Coaching/Project Management o Business Models & Concept Development o Operations Management & Service Delivery Design Models/Standardization of Best Practices o Standard Operating Procedures/Process Improvement/Policy Development o Organizational Design/Roles & Responsibilities/Training & Development o Proposal Writing/Technical Writing

I am experienced in applying leadership theory and skills to facilitate stakeholder collaboration toward aligning and achieving organizational operational, tactical, and strategic goals. I rely on my understanding of business competencies, my experience serving in the Army, and the lessons learned from over two decades as an educator to make sound organizational decisions that benefit key stakeholders. I can effectively use both quantitative and qualitative data in the context of an organizational gap analysis to facilitate positive organizational change. I am skilled in both applied and action research. I have supported dozens of individuals and companies with curriculum design, instructional lessons, and designing eLearning experiences for students and employees. I am trained in specific curriculum models such as UDL, UbD, PBL, Taba, and Tyler. I am also trained in Kirkpatrick’s 4 Levels of Training Evaluation. Regarding instructional models, I am most familiar with ADDIE, SAM, and Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction. I am familiar with a wide range of LMS. Supporting my training and experience with all the above is a deep understanding of various learning theories and how they can be adapted and implemented to support targeted learning outcomes. In addition to the work above, I enjoy ghostwriting blogs (SEO trained) and editing documents and manuals. For me, the intellectual exercise is gratifying. I pay attention to detail and always seek to understand the target audience and vision of those I collaborate with. I would be more than happy to share examples of past and recent work. I would love to help you make your vision a reality.
