About
The term 'loam' refers to the ideal soil composition for most garden plants and consists of equal parts sand, silt and clay. These three parts work in unison to create a nurturing environment that supports growth.
Here at Loam, I believe that culture is equal parts people, process and technology and serves as the foundation for growth to take root.
What I Do:
1. Gaps between vision, strategy, and execution? I partner with key leaders and help bring their vision to life.
2. Lack of progress toward achieving company goals? I help build goal-setting frameworks using a top-down approach to ensure goals are clear, attainable, and realistic.
3. Navigating large organizational changes? I partner with key stakeholders and teams to navigate large organizational changes such as acquisitions, RIFs, mergers, or executive turnover.
4. Experiencing operational inefficiencies? I evaluate, design, and implement efficient and scalable processes that save time and money.
5. Team members disengaged? I assess, diagnose, and then design sound people strategies to activate your people and align them to the mission.
6. Navigating complex team member dynamics? I resolve conflict between team members by providing employee and manager coaching, mediating conversations, and offering an unbiased and non-judgemental space to process complex issues.
7. Disjointed systems and/or spending too much on underutilized technology? I assess company-wide technology spend, utilization, and efficiency to ensure teams have streamlined productivity tools.
