Recognizing Change Impacts

Every leader or team that I have helped prepare for or adapt to a major change. This could be a change in leadership, technology, process, or any other number of things that impact a team.

The biggest mistake I've seen made over and over is not acknowledging and addressing the true impact of a change ahead of time. Comments like "It's not that big of a change" or "They'll just figure it out" have led to significant negative impacts on an organization.

My experience has given me insight in how to assess the true impact of a change on you and your team. Together we can proactively assess the change impact and develop a plan for effectively mitigating negative impacts of change.

Find the Change Leader in You!

"Change management takes a lot of time and work" - this is something I've heard countless times in my career. Change management is often overlooked and under appreciated, but typically leaves a wake of disaster when not properly used.

I've coached on change leadership to a variety of different levels of leaders, from General Manager to individual contributors. I can help advise you on how to be a strong and effective change leader - a skill that can be learned and executed with preparation and discipline.

Change management requires a strong change leader. It's as simple as that. Let's work together on how to fill any gaps you may have that are preventing you from being the best change leader you can be for your team.

Giving Tough or Critical Feedback

I've seen and experienced the benefits of providing critical or constructive feedback in the work place. The problem is, however, not all leaders have the skill or experience in giving feedback effectively. The risk of not providing this feedback in a timely and structured manner can be quite harmful on a team, relationship, or organization.

I can work with you on providing feedback to peers, employees, partners, or superiors. We can work on identifying all aspects of the feedback needed to make it a productive conversation aimed at growth rather than discipline. Together we can work on nipping issues in the bud before the grow to be bigger than just a feedback conversation.

Deliverable Review! Your Products Should Reflect You and Your Organization!

Often in small businesses you are wearing many hats. You develop business cases, do coffee runs, fill in in tactical roles, etc. The very natural of start-ups and small business is that you are capable of performing a variety of tasks well. In the chaos of starting or running a small business one thing that can get overlooked is deliverables.

Whether you are developing a business case, preparing a deck for investors, designing a website, or creating internal collateral you should always place great emphasis on attention to detail, thoroughness, and continuity. I have an eye for reviewing deliverables for:
- Formatting and aesthetics
- Unclear or ambiguous thought transitions
- Vague strategy or vision
- and More!

Got a Big Presentation? Let's Chat!

Even the best product or idea will fail if it isn't properly pitched. You spend days, months, and years preparing for presentations to pitch your product, your idea, yourself...

I can help you practice and hone your presentation to be a proper representation of you and your pitch. We can discuss the deck (cadence, props, structure) as well as the presentation itself (tone, speed, order). I will provide questions and feedback based on your intended audience so that you feel 100% prepared for the big day. You will leave our call feeling not only prepped and ready, but also excited!
