Increase engagement in your distributed workforce

I help business and HR Leaders create solutions that accelerate and motivate change

Is this you?

  • Do you invest time, money, and energy in employee programs, training, town halls, and offsites that fail to create meaningful change or commitment?

  • Do you struggle with low attendance, engagement, and adoption of employee programs and change initiatives?

  • Do you crave more confidence and certainty that your investment will lead to measurable ROI?

Imagine if…

  • You could increase the shelf life and effectiveness of your programs and employee communication so that employees retained and leveraged the material shared

  • You had a long-term fix so that employees accepted and embraced organizational change

  • You could yield greater outcomes faster and drive connection in and to your organization

Why gatherings matter

Gatherings are our most expensive and high-stakes form of communication.

We rely on them to keep our organization connected and informed. Well-designed gatherings can accelerate organizational change.

They are also used at some of the most crucial moments in an employee’s journey when we need buy-in, engagement, and trust. Are you capitalizing on these moments?

70% of organizational change fails. The way we gather can tell us why.

How I help
