I help organizations win more business, keep existing customers and develop their talent.
We'll work together to design a plan that identifies the strongest ideas, tests them for “do-ability”, and creates a strategy for implementation.
Everyone seems to be talking about “social media-this” and “social media-that”...and if we can use social media and web 2.0 tools to achieve your objectives, let's do it.
But – not all innovations need social media or the web to be successful. Part of the project planning and management process includes identifying the best methods for implementation...and then measuring the results.
■ Business Idea Architect
I have over 20 years experience speaking to, consulting with, facilitating, teaching and training incredibly interesting groups ranging from manufacturing engineers...to general officers in the military....kindergarten teachers to IT experts...displaced workers to non-profit executives...customer service specialists to hospital managers. Each has its unique challenges - and unique strengths.
Inspired by building architects, I work with clients to map the best possible solutions for both their customers and employees.
■ Web Optimization Consultant
There's an enormous range of web 2.0 tools available to organizations today. Once you have an innovative idea in mind, we'll work together to select those that help to create a successful implementation.
■ Social Media Strategist
Social media is such a new and evolving world that it's difficult to know what tools to use, or how they might impact a client's project. With over 5 years of experience using new media, I can help you choose the right ones to make your project a success.
■ Working Together
People think of me for my strategic visioning ability, strong idea generation skills, creative problem solving, cross-functional flexibility, innovative partnerships, and developing an engaging, diplomatic rapport that energizes and unites audiences.
Our work together can be short term – via workshops or speaking engagements, for example. I can meet individually with people to brainstorm ways they can create or build their businesses, or work with clients on a longer term retainer basis.
■ Having Fun
When not working or volunteering, I enjoy watching the University of Minnesota Gopher women's hockey games, my daughter's hockey games, my husband's hockey games - or playing hockey myself! I also enjoy making beaded jewelry and traveling when the time's available.
