    I help organizations unlock employee potential. As a learning and development professional, organizational psychologist, and manager, I understand that performance is driven by several factors that sometimes (but not always) include training. My services include consultation, assessment, change management, curriculum development, training, and coaching. I work closely with stakeholders to deliver programs that build capacity, solidify teams, and support leaders. There are several options to help your staff perform at their best. Organizational Effectiveness Options Highly interactive and customizable workshops designed to help teams rapidly develop solutions to problems. Guided activities allow participants to leave the session with tangible deliverables in hand. These options can be delivered as workshops for project teams, consultation only, or full-service contracted support. Typical group size: 4 – 10 participants.

Sample team building workshops include: ¨ Teambuilding: A DiSC approach to shared understanding ¨ How full is your bucket? Delivering consistent quality service Leadership Development Options The following leadership interventions are available in collaboration with the organization’s Human Resources, Talent Management, and/or Learning and Development stakeholders.

    Hi, my name is Lindsey. I have over twenty years of experience consulting, managing, and administrating Human Resources, Recruiting, Training, and Staffing. Over nine of those years have been in a virtual capacity. I run worldwide virtual and traditional teams in multiple industries of up to 2K team members at a time. I have a PHR certification from SHRM. I have excelled and have extensive experience in male-dominated industries like oil and gas, firearms, and tech. I love working for startups and small businesses, but I also work with large companies like Amazon, Stanley Black and Decker, and Sutherland Global. I also have experience as a mentor for the next generation of HR professionals. Specifically, I specialize in helping my clients to create sound HR and Recruiting departments and then help them to hire and manage the work of a JR HR professional in those systems. Additionally I have experience in payroll, benefits, unions, and alternative financial benefits and pay structures like ESOP, VC, and phantom shares. I am one of the highest-rated and verified Human Resources and Recruiting experts on Upwork and I work with several Upwork Plus and Corporate Cloud clients. I am a multiple award winner by the American Business Women's Association where I was awarded Protege 2016, Woman of the year 2017, Women of Excellence 2019, and one of their 2022 Top Ten Business Woman. I was nominated for the Houston Business Journals Most Admired CEO of the Year Award, the Houston Small Business Association's Woman Business Owner of the Year Award. I would love the opportunity to speak to you about my skills and qualifications and learn more about your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. *I am currently looking for two part time clients or one client looking for 30 hours or less on a monthly retainer basis only. *
