“Becky brings learning agility, a point of view, learner centricity, and expertise to her work as a designer/developer. She immerses herself so she fully grasps the learner’s needs and holds herself and her team accountable for an outcome that makes a positive difference for leaders. She learns quickly and is passionate about her craft. I’d jump at the opportunity to have her design for me and my organization.”

My Background

After graduating from the University of Minnesota, with degrees in Marketing and Human Resources, I got my foot in the door with Target, a fortune 50 retailer. I started in Merchandising and it provided me the opportunity to learn how the business operates, how money is made (and lost) and how to think guest-first. I bring this business acumen lens with me to every client engagement I have.

This “foot in the door” turned into a truly fulfilling 12 year career. The last 10 of those I spent in the Learning & Development space. I started off as a Program Manager responsible for onboarding, training and developing thousands of new team members. Here I developed expertise in facilitation, content development, program management and talent management.

From there, I took on several roles that allowed me to hone my craft designing learning experiences for all areas of the organization – ranging from soft-skills to systems rollouts for both in-person and self-paced learning, and for groups large and small. Through this work I discovered my passion for leadership development and have created numerous programs and learning experiences to help leaders at all levels lead themselves, and their teams, with greater self-awareness, confidence and “tools” in their toolbox.

Today, clients look to me to develop their leaders through deeply human, activity-based offerings. I believe people are capable of so much more than they even know. It’s my job to give them the space to lean-in and figure out how they can uncover their strengths and natural gifts so they can make a more meaningful impact inside and outside the workplace.

I have also operated in a job-share work arrangement for the last 5 years. For me, I wanted to be challenged in my career while spending more time with my growing family. As companies shift to accommodate more flexible work arrangements, I enjoy consulting on the benefits, and potential challenges, that come with it. I truly believe that engagement and productivity flourish when individuals strike the work/life balance they desire, and I find joy sharing what I’ve learned from years of experience.

Why I Work
