“If you want to escape from prison, what is the first thing you need to know?”
One student said you need to find the key. One said to get a great attorney (like OJ). One said to convince someone to let them out.
The teacher rolled their eyes, smiled and said no each time. Then the teacher responded after everyone said something.
“The first you need to know if you want to escape from prison is that you are in prison.”
Self-awareness, understanding and acceptance are on where you are at and why is essential BEFORE you can take highly effective massive action.
Otherwise you solve for the leaf on the tree and not the root cause. It’s one of the biggest mistakes leaders and managers make.
It’s the first step I share with human resource professionals and other managers on how to build great teams and teamwork.
Understanding your team can be doing better, why that is and what role you have played in it…is step one.
It’s not problem solving because it will happen again otherwise.
History repeats itself until you learn the entire lesson.

Learning and development is something I’ve always been passionate about. I’m a naturally curious, research oriented and understand the value of strategic training.
I work with clients (either HR and/or management team) to help them with their training and development needs. Here are a few areas:
- Create and implement a strategic program for the entire organization.
- Create and implement a culture development program, employee experience, and employee engagement program.
- Work with HR on their onboarding process
- Develop a learning and development program, manager training and/or leadership development program.
It’s exciting to take an idea and see it through execution to making a huge impact for an organization. It’s never easy, but always worth it!
Reach out to me if you are interested in these services and/or have any questions.

Excited to be Speaking at REAL HR SHRM-Atlanta Symposium on Employee Engagement & Team Building (Aug 2019). It’s one of my 75+ speaking gigs this year.
If you are in the Atlanta area or want to attend, please let me know. I have a few passes that I can give you for 50% off (FYI: There are no other discounts given and I don’t get anything if you use the discount).
HR SHRM-ATLANTA Symposium Overview:
HR professionals wear many hats and oversee the most important component of a successful business – a productive, thriving workforce.
REAL HR is about strategic and comprehensive approaches to managing people, as well as workplace culture and environment. Today’s HR professionals need to consult and advise on many issues related to identifying, developing, engaging, and retaining a talented workforce which can be used strategically to add value to an organization.
My Session Overview:
Think about the best team you’ve ever been on. The team that was the most collaborative, connected, and productive. How did it feel to be connected to something bigger and feel like you could accomplish anything? What if you could recreate that feeling and success on every team you were on? What if you could create that feeling across your entire organization?
That feeling you just thought of is the most powerful business asset. It’s the foundation for a highly successful “people strategy.”
In this interactive session, attendees will learn how to ‘dial in’ to the right behaviors to maximize employee engagement. They’ll also play the Cards Against Mundanity game (in small groups) so they’ll experience how these strategies will work for them. They will also build deep relationships with other attendees.
More than 12,000 employees have played it in companies such as Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Ernst & Young, Google, Gillette, Microsoft, Oracle, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Worldwide Express, CareHere, Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA team), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Novartis, Merck, Intel, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and many others.
In this session you will:
- Learn the “secret” strategies to quickly maximize performance, engagement, collaboration, and teamwork
- Discover how to build high levels of trust both internally and externally with third-parties to instantly create great working relationships and maximize productivity
- Walk away with 11 best practices on how to manage, interact and engage (up, down and across) much more effectively to maximize teamwork and reduce conflicts
