Preparing leaders to thrive in disruptive environments.
Career-Corporate. I developed my leadership skills in the cellular telecommunications industry, where I was challenged to lead others in navigating significant, ongoing industry disruption. Over my 25-year corporate career, I served in change management, leadership development, and curriculum development roles at U.S. Cellular and business planning, project management, and communication technology roles at Motorola.
Career-Scale. I have extensive experience coordinating large-scale, high-profile programs and teams across Asia, Europe, and the United States. I designed and facilitated a wide variety of leadership and management programs for thousands of corporate, academic, nonprofit, and government leaders in top and middle management positions. At Motorola, I oversaw global message delivery to 70,000 employees at 345 locations around the world.
Career-Higher Education. As a professor, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in management, leadership, and strategy and direct an MBA program. I played an instrumental role in launching three new degree programs in data science, data analytics, and business administration as well as helping secure a 4 million dollar program endowment. I also serve as an On-Call Facilitator for the Center for Creative Leadership.
Preparation. I earned a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University, an M.A. in Whole Systems Design focused on change leadership and organizational development from Antioch University, and a B.A. in Leadership and Management from Judson University. In addition to being certified to administer many leadership and organization development assessment instruments, I hold a certificate in organizational systems renewal and am qualified to design and facilitate system-wide change within organizations and communities.
Presence. I have presented at the International Leadership Association, the Association of Leadership Educators, the North American Management Society, and several teaching and learning conferences. I have published articles in the International Journal of Servant-Leadership, the Journal of Higher Education Theory and Practice, and the Journal of Leadership Educators. I have also served in several board leadership roles in organizations focused on social change, poverty, justice, and local food.
