ABOUT ME
I’m interested in making the world of work a better place to be, and to that end, I develop, design and deliver training on engagement, information & consultation, diversity & inclusion and organisational culture. I also speak about these topics at various events.
​
I’ve worked for a wide variety of companies in the private, public and third sectors.
​
I’ve lived in London since 2008, and have worked extensively all around the UK, speaking about and developing, designing and delivering training on employee engagement, information & consultation, cross cultural awareness, unconscious bias and diversity awareness.
​
I’ve been directly involved in corporate change management and developing business strategy. Every project I have been involved with has examined the practical application of ideas.
​
I am an anthropologist (PhD from the University of New Mexico), which gives me a different spin on how I understand the corporate world. Did you know that lots of corporations use anthropologists? PepsiCo, Intel and Adidas are just a few of the big name businesses that like to have an anthropologist on board.
​
Before moving to London, I was a professor at the State University of New York, teaching cross cultural studies for international business majors.
​
The second edition of my book, Employee Engagement: a little book of big ideas, is available on Amazon. You can also read my column for HRZone.
