I've spent the last twelve years working to shape and shift cultures: I create sustainable, impactful changes that better serve the community and staff, and ensure retention and growth in the teams. I’m a matchmaker, an advocate, and a coach. I've supported and led communities and co-authored strategies as they strengthen and build movements around their unique vision. I've provided strategic advice as they nurture strong teams and grow their communities. I’m a practitioner and collaborator to both design and implement change. I love this work, and I’m good at it. Each day, I struggle, fail, learn, and dig in again to do better. MY SPECIALITIES: Leveraging Slack to create robust and meaningful virtual workplaces Remote and distributed first organizations Developing, embedding and exporting cultural change Building open, inclusive, collaborative workspaces Employee relations, internal comms, and professional development Designing people-centric corporate policies and behaviours A practitioner of Diversity and Inclusion work Peer and leadership coaching Developing and implementing robust codes of conduct Public speaking: Facilitation, Workshops, Seminars and Keynotes
