Services
Let's start by showcasing some customized HR programs I can design for your company. First off, what do I do best? I can help small startup companies build out people programs to help them achieve scalability as they grow. That means, you probably don't have an HR leader in your organization (yet). I can provide strategic advice and help to build out the HR operations function so you can grow (or rocket ship) your company to its next phase.
Here's a handful of customized programs I can set up for your growing company.
Culture Transformation
Ever conduct a culture transformation before? Basically it means you overhaul all your people initiatives to transform (or turn around) how you manage the people function in your growing organization. Do you analyze your people data to make the right people decisions for your business? Do you have the tools or software to make effective decisions that will enhance your culture? Do you have the culture you want to sustain or do you have aspirational goals that will become the culture of your company’s future?
These are all questions any growing company should be asking because the reality is, your people and your culture are the most important part of your business. Companies cannot scale without the right foundations for people and culture success.
I can help you to create the foundations for your people and culture strategy. I can also help you to thoughtfully transform or turn around your current culture. In either case, in order to sustain the positive growth trajectory you’re looking for to attract and sustain top talent, you will need to think about what gaps currently exist or what needs a complete overhaul to regain trust. Nothing’s impossible but you should be prepared to bring your most senior leaders to the table. After all, they are your people leaders and every company is led by leadership.
Strategic Talent Acquisition
Ready to hire on your first people leader? Congratulations, your company is likely now seeing growth and you know you won’t be able to scale without the right people leader to manage the people function. I’m guessing you’re not looking for the typical HR person (or you wouldn’t be looking into my services). You’re likely seeking a business-minded people leader who can operate like an entrepreneur, bringing creative ideas to the table and ensuring growth and development stand out compared to other companies. This person will likely be a business partner who will be able to manage ambiguity, have fierce resilience and move a million miles per hour. Considering this leader will be the face of people and culture, you want to get this right. With my vast network of similar profiles, let me find the people leader you’re seeking.
Workshops and Leadership Programs
Perhaps you just need a one-off workshop based on an issue your organization is facing now. Let’s discuss what type of tailored program would be the best fit for your needs. Workshops don't have to be fussy or complicated - nor do they need to cost big bucks. I can tailor a specific workshop for you that can help to motivate your team and assist in their professional development. You may be interested in helping to transform your newest leaders or to create a customized mentorship program for your future leaders. Nothing beats investing in your people and development is something that can never be taken away by anyone.
Just let me know what you'd like to focus on and we can come up with some great ideas for your company and size.
Startup Advisory or Coaching / Mentorship
Need some advisory counsel for your startup business? Let me help you with strategy in areas of organizational design, performance management, employee engagement, leadership coaching, and culture/core values codification. Many Founder CEOs feel "lonely at the top" but you don't need to be - I can provide startup advisory coaching as a "right hand" so you gain an experienced sounding board for unique concepts and ideas for your company.
Are you open to leadership development, coaching and/or mentorship? Becoming better leaders can only happen if you are open to discussing how you can scale better as a leader. I’d be happy to discuss a model that would provide direct feedback and empathetic coaching sessions within a safe and confidential setting.
Interim or Fractional People Leader
Need a part time people leader to help you manage people operations and people relations, but you don’t need someone full time? Even better, I can step in as a fractional people leader who can manage many difficult situations and discussions but you probably only need someone in-house one or two days a week. Having experienced an array of strategic decision-making in my last 8 years at high-growth startups, you may just need a part-time people leader to get you to where you need to go.
After working in corporate and startup companies for over 16 years, there's no challenge or issue I haven't seen before. Solutions provide ease when you speak to someone who has advised executives and leaders for various businesses across multiple industries.
Don't see something that fits your needs? No problem, I can discuss your pain points and come up with a customized solution that works for your organization and people. Give me a shout.
