HR
As a seasoned HR consultant with 10+ years of experience, I bring valuable insights and proven strategies to transform your team's performance and organizational health. Here's a snapshot of how I've made a difference: ​Designed and co-facilitated an OD competency series for OODN. Consulted with a Portland non-profit to launch their first organizational health survey, learning that supervisors were taking the brunt of burn out. Partnered with a higher education department to develop a custom talent matrix + facilitate department strategic planning to create alignment and clarity. Coached the People Manager at a local non-profit to develop their HR Roadmap and deliver it to the Executive Director. ​Collaborated with the HR team of a manufacturing client to review their talent acquisition process. Developed and delivered an in-person workshop on behavioral-based interviewing for 80 leaders who learned they can help each other hire no matter the department!
Learning Designer
Looking for tailored leadership and HR workshops from an experienced professional? I specialize in crafting and delivering impactful, practical learning experiences. Featured Projects: As the project lead and instructional designer, I developed an asynchronous certificate program for a global semiconductor manufacturer using Articulate Rise. ​Consulted with a knife manufacturer to review the marketing workflow of their dealer portal, and created a custom training manual on key benefits + steps. ​Recent speaking engagements: Dialogic OD, 10/3/2024, for the ATD/OODN Conference. Define your values, 9/12/2024 for PHRMA.​​​
Coach
Are you a mid-career professional looking for a tune-up? Or are you an entrepreneur looking to visualize your full business plan in 1-page? I recently added coaching as a Business Model You certified practitioner. Every person is unique and your coaching is tailored over 4 sessions. We begin with a lifeline exercise to identify common themes, draft a professional identity, and then create canvases of your current and future state.
Ready to upskill your leadership team? Start your journey to become a coaching leader! My Leader as Coach Program is delivered as a cohort in 3 or 4 custom workshops. We will practice the coaching conversation, learn the six pillars of developing others, and adapt our coaching based on communication style.

My Story

Patiently thorough, I connect the dots with business savvy, curiosity and energy.
Introducing Tiffanie
Chapter 1: HR Leadership For 10 years, I was an internal HR leader for organizations on the west coast, public and private organizations, both unionized and non-unionized. Even though we live in a knowledge economy, many organizations lacked professional development for employees or leaders. This lead me to my next chapter, Learning & Development. ​Chapter 2: Learning & Development I first learned how to teach online, then a hybrid and finally in-person. Sounds backward doesn’t it? Overall, I taught for 10 years in higher education, teaching my brand of practical HR to over 1,000 undergrads. Next, I wanted to serve more organizations and started developing custom leadership workshops for a local HR consulting firm. What I quickly learned is that for the learning to stick, you need coaching. Chapter 3: Coaching You have to keep learning and my recent upskill has been coaching, which makes learning stick. I am a certified Business Model You Coach, who can provide tailored career coaching and business modeling. I have also completed Leader as Coach: The Coach Approach from the Institute of Social and Emotional Intelligence. I can help you embed this contemporary approach to leadership internally (teach them to fish I say!). When I'm not consulting, I'm on a hike with my husband and our spunky boxer, Daisy.​ Qualifications: MBA in Organizational Effectiveness Certifications: SPHR, DDI, Business Model You, Quality Matters Certificates: Leader as Coach, OD Fundamentals, HR Management, Strategic Organization Management
