You are ready for positive change. You need a thought partner, a trusted advisor, an effective change maker to help you get from the place you are now to the place where you and your company want to be.
Glad to meet you.
You value people. You are intentional about creating inclusive experiences, sustainable business practices, and a workplace culture that folx rave about. Or maybe you aren't quite "there" yet, but you are dedicated to making it happen. Healthy organizations are effective organizations. Through an inclusive and human-centered design approach, we will evaluate what is working and where you have opportunities to grow or evolve. We will create a plan and align people and efforts to make it reality.
You and your team members possess gobs of knowledge, wisdom, expertise, and creativity. Including people in the process promotes engagement and commitment. When we co-design, we have more stake in the results.
We all bring a unique set of skills to the table. Mine include radical listening, leading courageous conversations, and creating paths to transformational change. If you want to embark on a journey that combines established methods based in research with innovative practices and creativity, let's grab a virtual cuppa and discuss.
I am a strategy and design consultant for social impact and healthcare organizations. With 15+ years leadership in healthcare, social impact organizations, and entrepreneurship, as well as degrees in psychology and human sciences, I employ broad knowledge and experience to effect systemic change. Individual and organizational psychologies, and human behavior, factor greatly in any change initiative. I build strong working relationships based in trust and inclusion as a foundation for change. Aligning people and efforts toward a shared vision makes it happen.
Together, we will identify where I can best support you and your organization. We may focus on one or two areas such as talent management or evolving your diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Or, we may take a strategic approach in large-scale organizational design. We start with a comprehensive consult to help identify strengths and opportunities. Then, I provide a descriptive report that includes a project plan with timelines and milestones, a cost analysis, and a schedule. The plan is individualized to meet your specific needs.
My path has not been conventional nor linear, which contributes to my creativity and innovation.
My values are integrated throughout my work:
"Michelle has been an incredible gift to our organization! She came in and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a useful product at the end of our time together.
What we have, thanks to her, is a Strategic Plan that will shape the work we are doing over the next five years. Michelle is gracious, she's perceptive, and adept at gathering the disparate thoughts of a group to shape a collective vision. We highly recommend her work and are so grateful for her contributions.
Thank you, Michelle! "
