“If you take out the team in teamwork, it’s just work. Now who wants that?”

Fractional People consulting to create the foundation upon which your team can thrive

There’s a few things I constantly hear from start-up leaders looking to grow and grow fast:

  • Attracting and retaining top talent is THE most important part of the job

  • Using some standard HR playbook of accepted best practices doesn’t feel like the way to do it

I wholeheartedly agree with both observations.

My Fractional People Consulting work draws on my People passion, First Principles thinking, no task too big or small mentality, and past leadership experience (People at Ramp, Operations at Uber, founder at Bar None Games) to bring a business- and human-forward approach that supercharges your growth through your most important asset: your people.

Scopes of work I take on include:

  • Looking to design interview processes that give you the strongest signal, as quickly as possible, while being wildly candidate-friendly, so you can attract and sign top talent? That’s my bread and butter!

  • I’ve developed engaging workshops to help your team creatively brainstorm highest value projects, prioritize between competing interests, and generate buy-in among all leaders.

    My offsites blend strategic working sessions with improv, games, and teambuilding to help you accomplish whatever goals you have in mind: from cracking a thorny cross-functional problem, to building true bonds and trust in your exec team.

  • No run-of-the mill training or manager checklists here. I help develop and run interactive, engaging, manager development programs that sticks, for new managers seeking initial tools, and seasoned managers looking to go from good to great.

  • I work with you to design async and facilitator-led onboarding that set your new hires up to hit the ground running with an effective, efficient, and enthusiastic welcome to your company and their role!

  • I help design and roll-out performance and compensation cycles, engagement surveys, performance management programs, and more, that help you reward top talent, provide constructive feedback to those missing the bar, and ensure your business stands up the programs it needs in an efficient, effective, and scalable way.

  • I’m certified as a CPCC through the Co-Active Training Institute, a top ICF-accredited coaching program. I lead individual and group coaching sessions to help leaders tackle individual goals and enable exec teams to operate as greater than the sum of their parts.
