Portfolio

Leadership Training & Development

Challenge: Implementing organizational change from in-person to a virtual work environment and restructuring management reporting structure.
Solution: Conducted a training needs assessment and developed competency-based virtual leadership training & development workshops.
Results: Improved management team communication, efficiency, and holding their team accountable for performance.

Crisis Strategic Management Training & Planning

Challenge: Negative operating budget impact due to a drastic reduction in the traditional research grant awarding system.
Solution: Combined strategic planning and crisis management to develop a systematic, nimble process.
Results: Created an urgency for change through transparent and optimistic conversations, which identified new opportunities for shifting research strategies and funding workstreams.

Culture Island (Team Building)

Challenge: The virtual workforce was experiencing a decline in employee engagement and was reluctant to return to the office for face-to-face interactions.
Solution: Facilitated a bottom-up change by forming and empowering a front-line task force to design a Wellness Day at the park.
Results: The Wellness Day created a "Culture Island" where the team saw each other's humanity rather than their titles and hierarchical constraints. They engaged in physical and mindful practices, leading to fun and meaningful discussions.

Leadership Coaching

Challenge: An organizational restructuring and new reporting structure caused friction among the team.
Solution: Provided one-on-one customized leadership coaching sessions to the new management team.
Results: The managers gained confidence and their team's respect, leading to improved team dynamics and performance.
