"After obtaining my MBA, I embarked on a career path that involved organizational development and corporate training in the healthcare and manufacturing fields. During my time in the healthcare industry, I was an integral part of coaching high-level leaders and had the opportunity to do so on an individual basis. In my training and experience, I believe that the key component of individualized leadership training is that it is customized for each individual to suit their needs. I have extensive experience evaluating skill sets and developing individualized training to improve critical leadership skills. Last year, I developed individualized training for my organization's new Chief Nursing Officer centered around having difficult conversations with staff. The new leader was highly equipped with all the great skills for the position but lacked the ability and confidence in this necessary aspect of the job."

"From my experience working with and training leaders in the manufacturing industry, I have a knack for working with Type A personalities and reaching them and their needs. I am skilled at creating desired challenges for them to help develop and hone their skills, as I did a few years ago with a newly hired Chief Operating Officer that struggled with interpersonal skills. My key with him was setting challenging goals between our meetings, and the plan worked to perfection. If hired for this role here at DDI, this ability would be key with the leaders I would be working 1:1 with."
