Status Quo Disruptor

I’m not for everyone. I’m for the bold who desire change. The believers in good intentions, and the strivers for greater impact.

The ones daring enough to change the status quo.

Fueled by a conviction to not just challenge the norm,
but change it.

It’s time to rip up the playbook
and write a new one.

With 20+ years in the capital “P” People space designing strategies, programs, and developing leaders for the world’s most iconic brands, I’ve got a pretty good idea, and a slew of opinions, about what works and what doesn’t.

My approach is grounded in the belief we have to let go of the well-worn paths, the comfort zones, the best practices. We have to push beyond mere repetition of what's been done, and design news ways of working.

I am not here to do what has already been done—this is Dacia.

CONSULTING

I've spent over two decades developing fit for purpose teams, programs, and processes that help people be better, bolder, and more bad-ass. 

I’ve had a front row seat as a People/HR leader inside of iconic brands, consulting agencies, and start-ups. I’ve seen what works, and how things can go off-the-rails. 

In all my work, I find the balance between compassion and straight-talk, directing and collaborating. 

I believe it’s time to let go of the old ways of working and embrace what the future can bring. 

Leadership

No one wants to be a bad leader, and companies everywhere have them. Galvanized leadership; where leaders at all levels share a vision for leading and are held accountable by, and to, their people.

Performance Ecosystems

The programs and systems for performance management are remnants of the industrial revolution, and were not only terrible back then, but now they are reckless ways of doing and believing.

Communication

I've been finding the sweet spot between content, delivery, and timing for two decades. From writing content to designing writing classes, I aspire to make words sing and rid the world of TL:DR drivel.

Strategy

It’s hard to see a new way forward from the inside; harder to separate the people from the organizational needs. I bring perspective; fresh, innovative, and sometimes radical, to help you achieve your goals.
