              Meet the Team Whisperer

              Managing people is HARD – in fact, it’s probably the hardest thing about being a corporate leader, founder, or business owner. 

              You felt like you were completely clear on the strategy or priorities, but your team missed the mark. You find yourself continually in the weeds, and people aren’t stepping up. You hired an amazing team member and they unexpectedly quit, leaving you high and dry.  

              And you’re left wondering, how am I going to get through this?

              Enter the Team Whisperer. My passion is in being the translator between the vision in your head and how your team understands it – connecting the dots, making it clearer, and surfacing what in it for THEM so they get on board.

              Working in team operations for a decade in big tech in companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, I learned the differences between what makes a team perform at their best and what makes a team fall short, even with all of the resources in the world; and I’m here to bring these secrets to you to reduce overwhelm, improve retention, and help you scale your team.
