and I have spent the last 12 or so years in telecom in T&D, Sales,
Sales Retention and Customer Care. Prior to XO, I was with the training
arm of a consulting firm, where we focused on learning activities
in support of telecom software deployments. I am lucky in that I

Biography:
Currently
offering social media strategies and solutions to organizations
striving to create conversations with their employees and customers,
I co-own "frank", a company dedicated to helping people to be, well,
frank. Authentic, transparent, honest. And hopefully fun, creative,
inspiring and innovative along the way.
I
started as a COBOL programmer with Accenture (then Andersen Consulting)
in the mid-80's, quickly
moved over to organization effectiveness, process and organization
design and training. My last "real" job was in 2001 as senior director
of organization effectiveness for Best Buy where I led the company's
training department.
My
background and services include organization effectiveness (team
development, organization redesign, process development and human
resource systems change); leadership development and coaching; individual
development; change management and measurement and social media
strategy and implementation. In other words, I work with leaders
to figure out what stands in the way of organization, team and individual
effectiveness and then work with the right stakeholders to move
them toward their visions. Since 2005 a lot of this has included
(among other things) online portals with leadership blogs, v-logs,
podcasts, discussion forums and other communications and collaboration
platforms.
