Team Building
"The last of human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
~Viktor Frankl
LEADERSHIP to Me
Leadership is much like the raindrop that hits the surface of water. We all are at the center of the drop and create the ripple effect that connects with everyone around us. A leader seeks understanding of their impact and intentionally guides how each unique ripple connects to the next in the most influential way.

With minimal industry experience, Rae's pointed leadership, thorough & inventive training modules, and compassionate mentorship set the foundation for my own career in people/product management. Rae's ability to shape and impact workplace culture and environment is innate and intuitive.

Engagement Sample
Original concept I developed based off the companies core values to incentivize the staff. They each received a KARE pack to kick off the concept full of treats and items to take on the go in the mobile work environment. Program outline is below is an engaging game to drive results!

Internal Resume Building
Example of an internal resume workbook I built for the District to develop MITs and SMITs. The section displays the People management covering in-depth hiring need and talent analysis, scheduling and payroll management.
Soft Skill Development Sample
I facilitated monthly District training calls for both Urban Outfitters and Enjoy. Agendas were based off need analysis or company directives.
Behavioral Hire Project Sample
This original project was a hiring training program for department managers to identify desired behavioral skills needed for optimal performance, while building a balanced team for a productive work environment. Once hired the development phase began by identifying strengths and opportunity to build each employees skills to the TNT, a balance of the two behaviors. This project was a full life cycle playbook systemizing the hiring and development process, allowing Store Managers easier need analysis tracking and feed back on effective people management.
