More about HDR Initiatives

I have more than twenty years of experience in organization and leadership development, and I have worked hard to develop my skills to provide beneficial resources to clients just like you. I attended the University of Nebraska where I earned my Ph.D. in organizational behavior, leadership, and organizational development in addition to a Masters in Business Administration.
 

I was also an adjunct professor at my university from 1999 to 2016, and gained so much knowledge during my time there. My studies have provided me with the experience I need to run a successful talent management consulting business.

What is my main goal? To help you attract and retain quality talent for your business, as well as building leadership capabilities that will help you to be the best possible business owner and/or people leader. 

It's difficult for a business to reach its full potential without the right employees, which is why it's important to hire the right talent. Too many managers hire primarily for technical fit, but yet they tell me that personality & culture fit is more predictive of someone's long-term success/fit with their company.

I guarantee that your business has plenty of untapped potential that is just waiting to be unleashed within your current employees as well as when you hire your next team member.

It's my objective to provide your business with the tools necessary to dream big, and then help you hire and retain the right employees in order to make those business dreams a reality. 

I’ll encourage you to realize your potential by starting off with a talent management audit. This process allows you to determine how your how your various current talent management activities across the entire organziation stack up against best practices. 

Not only that, but I also offer leadership development services that can teach you, and all of your other people leaders, to lead your top employees to a career of success, while also growing your own business successfully. 

I also want to ensure that your current employees are being utilized for their talents. I offer talent and personality assessments to help you understand what motivates your current employees. Then, I provide the necessary materials to help you lead them correctly for a successful business model.

In addition, I also pride myself on the fact that I'm able to help you build an talent-based culture for your business. I have the knowledge and tools to determine the best candidate for your business and develop strategies to retain all of that talent!
