PATHS TO SUCCESS

For Businesses

Running a business can feel like juggling a dozen priorities at once. I partner with business owners and leaders to strengthen operations, navigate employee issues, and build toward long-term success.

Our process together:

  • We begin by understanding your current challenges, goals, team dynamics, and needs.

  • Then we co-create a plan that works within your budget and timeline—whether it’s HR support, training work, or organizational planning.

  • I stay alongside you as we execute the plan, making adjustments and helping you stay on track for measurable, meaningful progress.

For Individuals

Your career is a story worth shaping intentionally. Whether you're changing directions, seeking promotion, or simply unsure what's next, I help you clarify where you're going and how to get there.

Our process together:

  • We begin with a conversation about where you’ve been, where you want to go, and what’s holding you back.

  • Then we develop a strategy tailored to your strengths and goals—this might include overall strategy, resume refinement, interview prep, or network coaching.

  • We move forward at your pace, with guidance, feedback, and accountability along the way.

For Legal Teams

As an expert witness in human resources and workplace matters, I provide clear, unbiased insight grounded in over two decades of operational and HR experience.

Our process together:

  • I begin by reviewing case materials and discussing the legal strategy to understand the core issues.

  • I provide expert analysis, written opinions, and deposition or trial testimony as needed.

  • Throughout, I prioritize clarity, professionalism, and responsiveness to support your team’s effectiveness.

  • Expert witness services are coordinated through my agency partner. If you're interested in engaging me, I’ll gladly connect you or your legal team with the appropriate contact to begin the process.
