In my most recent role as a senior manager of employee experience in a large global software company, I was an award-winning thought leader on employee engagement, employee well-being, and culture of safety in the workplace. I advised and coached executives and leaders, reviewed and guided company programs, initiatives, and processes to improve workplace culture, led equity and inclusion efforts, and formulated a company-wide psychological safety strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.1em\">I\u2019m excited to help you and the people in your organization learn how to unlock their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> <\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact us<\/strong> for a commitment-free conversation!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a veteran of many industries \u2014 investment banking, software, information services, and consulting \u2014 I have seen and experienced first-hand the many ways that corporate culture can be toxic.
