Meet Sydney.
Through my many work and life experiences, I've gained the perspective and insight into "what makes people tick." It's the people aspect of business that makes me love what I do.
I've spent the last 25 years working with organizations on their business strategies, leadership development, and organizational dynamics. I've had the privilege of working with a myriad of CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and other executives to help them tap into their talents and skills and become the leader they were meant to be.
I also help with strategic planning, executive succession and generational transition, organizational change management, communications messaging and rollouts, team formation and processes, and much more.
In addition to my consulting work, I've taught as an adjunct professor in Organizational Design, Leadership and Entrepreneurialism at Portland State University and Marylhurst University.
I have served on the boards of Oregon Public Broadcast, the Association for Corporate Growth, the Oregon College of Art and Craft and the Portland Creative Conference. Currently I am on the Advisory Board of Read to Hear, a start up working on solutions that use speech recognition software as a bridge to engage those with disabling hearing loss in face to face dialogue and conversation.
When I'm not working on client projects, I like to travel, cook, garden and hike with my husband. I especially love the early spring weekends when I can visit local farms and nurseries to pick up new pots of hydrangeas, heirloom roses, azaleas, and lavender to add to my garden, always a work in progress.
