I am a seasoned professional in the realm of organizational development, dedicated to cultivating positive workplace cultures after personally experiencing the repercussions of a toxic work environment. In 2008, I founded Civility Partners, driven by a mission to transform workplaces into nurturing environments where employees thrive. With over a decade of experience, my team and I at Civility Partners have been at the forefront of guiding organizations through culture transformations, tackling issues such as toxic behavior, disengagement, and absenteeism head-on. Our comprehensive services span from executive coaching to large-scale culture change initiatives, catering to diverse clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to small nonprofits across various industries. Recognized as an authority in my field, my expertise has garnered attention from national media outlets including USA Today, Entrepreneur, and CNN. My commitment to eradicating workplace bullying led me to co-found the National Workplace Bullying Coalition, advocating for positive workplace practices on a broader scale. Beyond my consultancy work, I am also an accomplished author and speaker, with my books and presentations receiving acclaim from industry leaders worldwide. I hold a Master's degree in Organizational Communication and have contributed significantly to academia through my tenure as an adjunct instructor at various universities. As a prolific course author and instructor on platforms like LinkedIn Learning, I share my wealth of knowledge with a global audience. My courses cover a wide array of topics crucial for fostering healthy workplace dynamics, from strategic human resources management to handling workplace bullying effectively. Through my engaging teaching style and practical insights, I empower learners to create positive and inclusive work environments that promote employee well-being and organizational success.
