As a doctoral student at the University of Washington in Seattle, our 2001 Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) article was a finalist for the journal’s “Best Paper Award” and our second AMJ publication (2004) received international recognition when it was highlighted in The Economist.
My published work with Chris Wright, Ph.D., on the challenges of using puzzle interview employee selection techniques appeared in Time and on National Public Radio (NPR).
Over the last two decades, I have published two book chapters, delivered over 75 academic conference and professional presentations at the international, national, and local levels.
Prior to my academic career, I was employed by or contracted with such organizations as Microsoft’s People Research Division, The Hay Group management consultants, Chase, and Dun & Bradstreet.
I am keynote speaker, trainer, facilitator and coach. I have presented to thousands of people of the topics of employee engagement, job embeddedness, employee selection, compensation, turnover, leadership, diversity/equity/inclusion/belonging (DEIB) and conflict management.
My students often describe me as friendly, funny and helpful.
I care a great deal about helping individuals and organizations maximize their performance.
