I enable teams to do their best and most meaningful work together by empowering more people to develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills they need for their team to thrive at the workplace.

Great team performance requires great interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.

Interpersonal skills involve interactions between people - how well you communicate and collaborate with others. Intrapersonal skills are how well you understand and manage your own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. People and teams with a balance of both tend to be more successful and satisfied.

Employees often lack essential skills they need to excel at work.

Many teams hope and assume that employees will learn these skills on their own or through their managers, but often times don’t, at least not consistently. My learning programs teach these interpersonal skills through an intrapersonal lens.

• Running a meeting

• Effective 1:1s

• Communication

• Managing time and energy

• Building empathy

• Feedback and coaching

• Stress and conflict management

• Career ownership

• Personal values at work

My approach is shaped by my unique blend of teaching and business strategy expertise.

With 15 years of experience in learning and development at Google, McKinsey, Manhattan Prep, and Teach For America, and an average teaching and coach rating of 3.95 out of 4.00 from hundreds of reviews**,** I leverage my expertise in teaching, business strategy / data, and emotions to create magical learning experiences that address common challenges I see teams face with their current team learning. I prioritize:

• Data-driven skill gap assessment and measurement of organizational outcomes
• Hands-on, experiential learning so that it sticks
• Continuous learning that extends beyond the classroom

I’ve worked with clients from:
