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 today’s competitive business landscape, attracting and retaining high-value employees has become a critical success factor for organizations. While compensation, benefits, and job roles are essential, one factor that consistently stands out as a key driver in employee satisfaction and loyalty is organizational culture. The culture of an organization is not just an abstract concept; it is the very fabric that weaves together the values, beliefs, and behaviors that define how an organization operates. It plays a pivotal role in creating an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and aligned with the company’s mission and vision.
Organizational culture is the collective behavior of individuals within an organization and the meanings that people attach to those behaviors. It encompasses the company’s values, traditions, beliefs, and how decisions are made. A strong culture is one where employees understand and share the organization’s core values, and these values are consistently reinforced through leadership actions, communication, and company practices.
For organizations looking to attract top talent, a well-defined and appealing organizational culture can be a significant differentiator. High-value employees—those who bring exceptional skills, creativity, and leadership potential—are increasingly seeking more than just a paycheck. They are looking for workplaces where they can thrive, where their work has meaning, and where they feel a sense of belonging.
A positive culture acts as a magnet for such talent. When potential employees perceive a strong alignment between their personal values and the company’s culture, they are more likely to see the organization as a place where they can grow and succeed. This cultural alignment fosters engagement even before an employee steps through the door, setting the stage for long-term retention.
Moreover, in an era where company culture is increasingly transparent—thanks to platforms like Glassdoor and social media—candidates can easily research and assess an organization’s culture before applying. Companies that showcase a vibrant, inclusive, and positive culture can leverage this to attract the right talent who will be motivated and productive from day one.
Attracting top talent is only the first step; retaining these high-value employees is where organizational culture truly proves its worth. A strong culture provides employees with a sense of purpose and belonging, which are essential for long-term job satisfaction. When employees feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves, that their work is valued, and that they are contributing to the organization’s success, they are more likely to stay.
A positive culture fosters loyalty by creating an environment where employees are encouraged to grow and develop. High-value employees, who often seek continuous learning and opportunities for advancement, thrive in cultures that prioritize professional development, innovation, and recognition. When these elements are embedded in the organizational culture, employees are more likely to see a future with the company, reducing turnover and the associated costs.
Moreover, a culture of open communication, trust, and collaboration ensures that employees feel heard and valued. This emotional connection to the organization can be the difference between an employee who leaves at the first sign of a better offer and one who remains committed even during challenging times.
In conclusion, organizational culture is not just a buzzword; it is a critical component in the attraction and retention of high-value employees. A strong, positive culture creates a compelling employer brand that attracts top talent and fosters a work environment where employees feel engaged, valued, and motivated to contribute to the organization’s long-term success. By prioritizing and continuously nurturing their culture, organizations can build a loyal and high-performing workforce that drives sustained success.
