"Networking, communication, and connecting are critical to success in my role as a director of organizational development. I have an extensive toolkit in this area and I use a variety of methods including meetings, social media, email, phone conversations, informal chats, shadowing, observation, etcetera.
When possible, I prefer to reach out in person or virtually with video. My role requires me to lean heavily on my intuitive and empathetic skill sets and the ability to connect in this way offers a depth of information that is harder to access when I cannot see or hear those I am communicating with.
I also work hard to get to know the people I work with. I thoroughly enjoy learning about my team members and the groups we serve. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with the faculty, staff, students, and alumni here at Stanford if I am selected for the MSx program."
