Frequently Asked Questions

Here, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about my services. If you still have questions, feel free to contact me.

What is HR and People & Culture consulting?

It’s hands-on support for an HR or People & Culture team that lacks current capacity to move all of the needed initiatives forward. That could mean partnering to build a people-analytics dashboard, analyzing team member surveys and making recommendations, running a full HR project from start to finish, or advising on a specific project like a benefits redesign.

What's the difference between consulting and coaching?

Consulting is organization-facing: it’s about strategy, systems, and getting a specific HR or people project completed. Coaching is person-facing: it’s about casting a vision, self-discovery, meaningful goal setting, accountability, and transforming your leadership. Clients may start with one and eventually use both.

Do you work with individuals, organizations, or both?

Both. Organizations hire me for consulting, coaching their team members, and speaking. Individual leaders also hire me directly for coaching, whether or not their company is involved.

Do you specialize in a particular industry?

I have deep, specific experience in multifamily housing, student housing, senior living, and family office, built over 30-plus years including serving as a Chief People Officer. That said, the HR project management, leadership coaching, and speaking topics apply well beyond those industries.

How long is a typical coaching engagement?

Both the Foundation and Elevate coaching plans run six months, with vision casting up front, regular sessions throughout, and a reflect session at the end. However, coaching engagements can be customized for varying time frames.

How does the free discovery call work?

It’s a short, no-obligation conversation about where you are and where consulting, coaching, or speaking might help. Book a time that works for you and we’ll go from there.

What happens after the discovery call?

If it’s a good fit, I put together a tailored proposal along with a Master Services Agreement and a scope of work, so both of us know exactly what’s included before we begin.

Do you complete consulting, coaching, and speaking engagements in person, virtually, or both?

Both. I’ve worked with consulting and coaching clients in person and virtually. I’ve also spoken on stages live as well as through webinars.
