Assistant Vice President,                            Human Resources - Talent and Org. Development

Talent and Organizational Development (TOD) serves the University community on all things cultural, setting the stage and enabling leaders to create the right work environment in making the University a great place to work, learn, and grow. A part of engagement is talent management, which is creating structure around succession planning and career paths in addition to  interpreting employee surveys that can bring about positive change. Another large part of TOD is diversity and inclusion. Understanding that diversity of thought and backgrounds is what makes UM s special place to be is in the fabric of this organization. 

Organizational Development (OD) also serves the entire University community, largely working with leaders and their teams from strategic planning, team building, change management, team interventions, and one-on-one executive coaching. OD gets to the heart of issues and helps teams work through their differences in a proactive and professional manner. Confidentiality and trust, when working with leaders, is the staple of OD.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by truly talented professionals who are the fuel to the success of Talent and Organizational Development. These same people find their passion in training, development, and diversity with the only focus being on how to help others succeed and grow.

Podcaster - Everyday People Podcast - By The HR Dad

The HR Dad

You know how people struggle with their personal lives at the intersection of navigating their professional career? We all know people who have this struggle. If this is you, you must know you are never alone. 

Many times people feel fractured, invisible and undervalued at home and or at work. I use the power of storytelling, humor, and authenticity to help people grow and believe. From my experience as a Dad, and as an HR leader, I give practical advice to begin to fill up the fractured cup of fulfillment. 

I love to write, think, speak and coach about the lessons learned from home and work. Leaders matter, people matter and you certainly matter!
