Coaching, Culture, Facilitation, Training

• Case Study 1: I did one-on-one Executive Coaching for the Chief People Person at a Foundry-funded tech startup. This particular client had very strong success in her role and was trusted by the other executives. However, she was feeling a bit flat in her career, and had specific coaching goals surrounding increasing her impact and scope of influence. She was able to identify what was holding her back from her target, and modify the underlying belief, thus allowing her to reach her goals.
• Case Study 2: Provided 1:1 Executive Coaching for the CEO/Founder of a venture backed AI technology company. This client is pioneering a segment that has no historical data to draw from. He's had challenges with staying aligned with mission concurrently with being told how he "should" operate based on the status quo. By gaining a more solid grounding in his mission/vision/values, he's been able to hold his ground where it makes sense, and flex where it makes sense, yielding the best path towards growth.
• Case Study 3: The Founder/COO of a B2B2C is an ex-pat with roots in a large, 100+ year old organization, having to make the transition to leading in a US-based startup in a newly-created marketplace. Navigating cultural differences, values differences and operational differences was hugely challenging to him. Through coaching he was able to stay true to who he was within the context of the greater company culture and goals. 

• Case Study 1: Facilitated a full suite of Leadership and DEI Training for over 80 Leaders in a high growth tech company. The program was multi-dimensional, spanning several months. The content and curriculum was bespoke, and delivered through a combination of 3 all day sessions interspersed with small group coaching circles for further integration and support. This client re-engaged to have multiple subsequent cohorts go through the same training program as they scaled, and each subsequent "graduate" class was then provided Advanced training curriculum. Training was provided both in person and during COVID, all content was redesigned and delivered virtually. 
• Case Study 2: Led a global webinar for nearly 100 Techstars Global employees on Unconscious Bias/DEI. Program was highly interactive and included a post-webinar support ZOOM call one month later to help participants process real-time experience putting what they learned to the test.
• Case Study 3: Facilitated multiple cohorts through Dr. Brené Brown's Dare to Lead™ curriculum, covering EQ, Vulnerability, building TRUST, values-based leadership, and difficult conversations. 

• Case Study 1 - Retention Turnover:  The innovation division of Fortune 500 CPG/Entertainment company was experiencing extremely high turnover rates. Issues surrounding high turnover are rarely superficial. They tend to be the result of systemic organizational issues around culture and leadership. Through broad intake and analysis of the data, I was able to identify the root causes of the issue, as well as several actionable recommendations to shift the results. I facilitated an Executive Offsite to provide the safe container necessary to present the findings and create a strategy around what can be a sensitive subject. The analysis and offsite "exceeded expectations." They were able to reduce voluntary turnover from 36% to 4.2% in less than 6 months following the offsite.
• Case Study 2 - Leading Through Change: A series-C Upfront Ventures tech startup was experience massive scaling challenges due to leadership shifts, spinning off a division, and rapid growth. I led their Executive Suite through an offsite to clearly face their current state - where did they show strength and weakness in their ability to lead the organization through change - and guide them through a crystal clear prioritized action plan to address the biggest gaps.

A profitable B2C eCommerce company was founded by 3 female founders. They bootstrapped and after just a few years, eclipsed their goals, hitting the $5M revenue mark. They were at a growth inflection point and wanted to ensure they were leading in alignment with their values and mission as they scaled. In addition, they wanted to make sure the three of them were in agreement as much as they believed. I conducted 360 reviews of the leadership team, producing an analysis/report of the findings, and next steps in terms of potential opportunities for growth.

I did a comprehensive culture engagement with a B2C subscription model eCommerce company. They were at $11M in revenue, just got their first institutional round, and were about to scale rapidly. I worked with the team on a phased approach to rolling out culture. Phase 1 was defining the culture - what core values drove the company? Phase 2 was integrating those values into the candidate experience during recruitment. Phase 3 was a workshop focused on teaching the crew how to interview for culture fit. Phase 4 was further integration of their culture into the onboarding process.

I facilitated a workshop on Culture and Leadership for a VC firm's entire portfolio of Founders at their annual offsite. Each Founder was able to explore and experience some simple steps to create and integrate their culture, as well as getting a sense of the power of Leadership coaching, and its effect on employee engagement and the bottom line.

For a rapidly scaling startup in the Health & Wellness space, I played a key role in the analysis and recommendations surrounding their Organization in the specific categories of Structure, Culture and Talent. This project included the identification of areas for improvement, as well as both quick wins and longer term approaches for effecting change.

Co-facilitated a women's coaching circle, focused on Founders at Seed/A stage. Circle combined content/instruction around leadership skills, facilitated peer coaching and moderated always-on slack support.
