Mission and Process

Mission:

My mission is to help individuals and organizations make the necessary changes for positive outcomes in the workplace, in work and in life.

For Individuals, making a positive change may include focusing on your work and/or integrating work into your life, for example:

• making a career change;
• developing strategies for success in your workplace;
• focusing on establishing more quality in your life;
• conducting a job search;
• writing a compelling essay for your graduate school application;
• developing your leadership skills.

For Organizations, making a positive change may include focusing on employee retention, effectiveness and productivity, for example:

• developing your managers to be a career coach for employees;
• coaching your employees to be more effective communicators;
• building effective teams;
• working with employees develop leadership skills;
• helping employees who are not in the right job

Process:

My approach to successful change involves addressing 3 factors:
Clarity • Perspective • Direction

For Individuals

1. You must have clarity about yourself and what is important; Clarity is self-knowledge and understanding. It is being clear about your purpose in any given situation. It is having a strong sense of self. It is having a personal and professional language to articulate who you are, what you want and why—to yourself, your colleagues and a potential employer.
2. You must have some perspective about where you are in your life, in your situation and what is realistic; Perspective is having a relevant framework to make realistic changes that fit into your life. You will be motivated to make changes by taking into consideration the unique, pertinent and common sense aspects of your life, which will include both short term and long term plans.
3. You must have a sense of direction with a goal and plan to achieve it. Direction is being clear about your goals, both short term and long term; knowing the purpose for each decision you make and how that decision moves you toward your goals. It is also being flexible and having a Plan B to keep you moving despite obstacles.

By having clarity and perspective, you will have confidence and commitment to your direction. Clarity and perspective are the foundation for all the decisions you make about your work and career and how they fit into the whole of your life.

For Organizations

1. Clarity is having understanding and purpose behind goals for retention, effectiveness and productivity. It is being thoughtful about goals related to employees’ professional development.
2. Perspective is recognizing the needs of both the employees and the business. It is being realistic about market realities and strategies for the future. It is about having short term and long term goals for employee performance and development to meet business needs.
3. Direction is using both clarity of purpose and a realistic perspective to establish a direction for retention, productivity and succession planning that will meet your goals.
