My professional work experience includes economic development, leadership development, administrative and project management, education, strategic planning, volunteer recruitment and management, community building, business development, customer service and account management, and sales operations.

What is it like to work with me?

Two Things You Should Know About Me

Two things you should know about me is I believe one measure of a leader’s competency is how open she is to growth and change. In other words, is she a learner? And secondly, I believe one of the primary reasons for ‘miscommunication’ being a commonly voiced and costly concern in our organizations, our communities, and our homes is because we are not aware of our listening habits or know how to communicate in a way other people want to listen. Based on my teaching, training, and team leadership experience, I believe being an agile and self-aware listener with the ability to pay attention is the foundation for effective comprehension, personal and professional growth, implementing new initiatives, and making impactful collaborative progress towards shared objectives with other people.

In addition to creating and facilitating customized learning experiences and solutions for my clients, I enjoy gardening, writing, walking in the woods, looking for rocks on the shore, and cooking. I make a decent sandwich and live with my husband Jim, and my boss Sage (a Chesapeake Bay Retriever), in what was once a milk house on a dairy farm on the ‘Southshore’ of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
