Your employees are your greatest asset, but their individual needs are rarely met by standardized plans. We specialize in rethinking performance and productivity to drastically minimize attrition rates and save millions in recruitment costs.

Goal:

Stop the Turnover Cycle.

Start Building a Lasting Team.

We Achieve This Through:

• AI Training that instantly increases efficiency across every department.

• Bespoke Performance Plans designed to foster engagement and retention for all employees, especially neurodivergent talent.

The belief that prioritizing employee well-being is a costly perk is wrong; creating a supportive culture is far less expensive than the fallout of high turnover. When you invest in fair treatment and skilled leadership, you secure your talent and guarantee organizational greatness.

Performance Plans That Drive Retention

We redefine performance management from a top-down process to a powerful tool for employee retention. Our customized performance plans are designed not just for goal-setting, but for career mapping, providing every employee with a clear, personalized trajectory. By building these plans around individual needs and abilities—including those of neurodivergent talent—we ensure every team member sees their own path to success and stays motivated for the long term.

Turning Balance into a Competitive Advantage

Don't just talk about balance—achieve it. We offer proactive leader coaching focused on building resilient teams by prioritizing mental health and establishing healthy work-life boundaries. We provide the unique frameworks for accommodating neurodivergent talent, ensuring your organization can tap into a wider talent pool and empower every individual to contribute their full, unique strengths.

Simplify Communication, Amplify Engagement

We cut through the noise of traditional check-ins. Our guidance focuses on replacing ineffective routines with streamlined, AI-assisted communication techniques and highly effective engagement initiatives. By focusing on individualized performance plans, we ensure every conversation contributes to both employee satisfaction and measurable overall productivity, transforming any hybrid or remote environment into a thriving culture.

& Perspective

BALANCE

From my home base in the Pacific Northwest, where I live with my two children and our cat, Gus, I founded Insightful Human after recognizing a clear gap in my previous work history: the disconnect between company goals and employee reality. I saw organizations—often unintentionally—struggle to support their people, leading to transactional benefits, unclear career tracks, and rising disengagement. This experience confirmed that the biggest opportunity for business growth is transforming the employee-employer relationship.

I founded Insightful Human to achieve this transformation. My mission is to empower leaders and HR teams to move past standard practices and build environments where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to perform. I guide organizations in establishing inclusive cultures, making thoughtful leadership decisions, and designing strategic performance plans. The result is more than engagement—it’s sustainable workforce planning that fuels both people and profit.

My perspective is shaped by my experience with ADHD. I know the unique value and the specific challenges that neurodiverse individuals bring to the workforce. I believe that supporting neuro-inclusion is not just an ethical decision; it is a direct strategy to unlock creativity, innovation, and productivity across any organization.

I hold dual B.A. degrees in English Literature and Religious Studies, alongside an MBA. I combine deep human insight with strategic business knowledge. Beyond consulting, I share reflections and strategies for stronger, more human workplaces on my blog, Insightful & Human.
