As a seasoned HR consultant with 15+ years of experience, I bring valuable insights and proven strategies to transform your team's performance and organizational health. Here's a snapshot of how I've made a difference: ​Designed and co-facilitated an OD competency series for OODN. Consulted with a Portland non-profit to launch their first organizational health survey, learning that supervisors were taking the brunt of burn out. Partnered with a higher education department to develop a custom talent matrix + facilitate department strategic planning to create alignment and clarity. Coached the People Manager at a local non-profit to develop their HR Roadmap and deliver it to the Executive Director. ​Collaborated with the HR team of a manufacturing client to review their talent acquisition process. Developed and delivered an in-person workshop on behavioral-based interviewing for 80 leaders who learned they can help each other hire no matter the department!
Is your leadership driving success? Start your journey to become a coaching leader. The Leader as Coach Program is delivered as a cohort in 4 custom workshops. We will practice the coaching conversation, apply coaching skills, learn the pillars of developing others, and adapt our coaching based on communication style.  Reach out to bring this opportunity to your organization!
Are you an entrepreneur looking to visualize your full business plan in 1-page? Have a sense that you are missing an opportunity in your business? I recently added coaching as a Business Model You certified practitioner. Every business is unique and your coaching is tailored over 4 sessions. I can help you gain clarity and confidence.
Are any of these challenges holding your team back? *Clarity of what value your team brings to the org? *How your team’s skills and talents serve internal and/or external customers. This is a highly interactive workshop, let's chat to discuss opportunities.
Are you a mid-career professional looking for a tune-up? We begin with a lifeline exercise to identify common themes, draft a professional identity, and then create canvases of your current and future state. I support and coach you to the next bright opportunity.

My Story
Patiently thorough, I connect the dots with business savvy, curiosity and energy.
Introducing Tiffanie
Chapter 1: HR Leadership For 10 years, I was an internal HR leader for organizations on the west coast, public and private organizations, both unionized and non-unionized. Even though we live in a knowledge economy, many organizations lacked professional development for employees or leaders. This lead me to my next chapter, Learning & Development. ​Chapter 2: Learning & Development I first learned how to teach online, then a hybrid and finally in-person. Sounds backward doesn’t it? Overall, I taught for 10 years in higher education, teaching my brand of practical HR to over 1,000 undergrads. Next, I wanted to serve more organizations and started developing custom leadership workshops for a local HR consulting firm. What I quickly learned is that for the learning to stick, you need coaching. Chapter 3: Coaching You have to keep learning and my recent upskill has been coaching, which makes learning stick. I am a certified Business Model You Coach, who can provide tailored career coaching and business modeling. I have also completed Leader as Coach: The Coach Approach, from the Institute of Social and Emotional Intelligence. I can help you embed this contemporary approach to leadership internally (teach them to fish I say!). When I'm not consulting, I'm on a hike with my husband and our spunky boxer, Daisy.​ Qualifications: MBA in Organizational Effectiveness Certifications: SPHR, DDI, Business Model You, Quality Matters Certificates: Leader as Coach, OD Fundamentals, HR Management, Strategic Organization Management
