Personal Details

Bio

As an employee experience coach and consultant, I am a bridge builder, truth teller, and advocate for empathy. I help managers understand how to effectively reach, engage, and connect with their employees and, more importantly, how to stop disengaging them.

I passionately believe that employees do not engage themselves; leaders engage employees. The single most important factor that determines engagement levels within organizations today is employees' relationship with their managers. A paycheck is no longer sufficient to inspire and engage employees. Employee experience is the currency of the new millennium workplace. Is the experience you create for your employees enough to attract, engage, and retain the best people in today's highly competitive and volatile talent market? Or are you sending them to your competitors?

My purpose is to teach leaders the language of employee empathy and coach them in fostering employee relationships that yield success for everyone.

If you are ready to break through the typical employee engagement noise and work toward real solutions that will drive positive change in the relationship between you and your employees - if you are ready for the truth about what is disengaging your workforce and what you need to do about it - then I can help you.

Contact me at contact@cognizeconsulting.com or 617-686-9042 to schedule an initial consultation. I am also available for speaking engagements, private coaching sessions, guest writing for blogs, and leader/employee relationship workshops.
