The Employee Experience matters!
A Riddle of Sorts
It's early Monday morning. You have a busy day ahead, and you grab a cup of coffee to kickstart your day. You trip and spill coffee as you traverse the hallway with your phone and coffee in hand.
Question: Why did you spill coffee? Hint: It wasn't because you were distracted by your phone or even because you had a clumsy moment.
Answer: You spilled coffee because that was what was in your cup. If you had been carrying a cup of tea, you would have spilled tea.
Lesson: Before you can answer any question, getting to the root of it is essential.
tEEmatters, LLC is Live Now
I have spent my career (primarily in Corporate America) getting to the root of questions and designing creative strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes. My career encompasses almost 30 years of experience advancing culture, employee experience, organizational/talent development, change management, and people and business strategies as a senior human resources and business leader at Walt Disney World Co., Independent Executive Management Consulting, and Allegis Group, Inc. I have a successful history leading HR and serving as a coach and strategic partner to my C-suite leadership peers.
Throughout my career, I have worked in Consulting, Operations, Business Planning & Development, Communications, and HR. No matter the role, the foundation for success was simple: get to the root of the question/issue/problem/opportunity and build a compelling strategy using a people-first mindset. The employee experience matters; execute accordingly.
So... I'm thrilled to announce the official launch of my consulting firm, tEEmatters, LLC, where I am leveraging my extensive experience and expertise in a new capacity. tEEmatters is a Delmava-based consulting firm that offers an impressive portfolio of strategic management consulting, leadership coaching, strengths-based performance development services, and transformation support that are entirely customizable for your business.
What led me to this decision? I felt ready to return to work after a year-long sabbatical focused on family health and well-being (long story for another blog). But, getting to the root of the question, why this particular path? Fundamentally, I am passionate about collaborating with inspiring leaders who prioritize their people as they strategize and solve business problems. My enthusiasm lies in assisting leaders in maximizing their teams' potential and fostering their organizations' growth. I'm eager to make a difference.
Wish me luck, and please reach out if you are an inspirational leader experiencing a gap between strategy and results. I can almost guarantee it has everything to do with people. tEEmatters can help.

Putting your people first does not mean that your business results, customers, clients or stakeholders will suffer. In fact, it means the exact opposite. When you put your people first, they are empowered to show up as their best selves and are supported to maximize their potential and excel in their roles. You as a leader will become more effective by understanding who your people are, what they need and what support they require from you. The organization benefits by having engaged employees who want to show up to work and do their best each and every day. It’s time for us to once and for all bury our antiquated beliefs about the best way to achieve results. In my experience, when you put people first, the results will follow.
