Facilitate a weekly seminar for distinguished Isenberg upperclassmen who then each teach a class of freshmen students. The course introduces freshmen to the Isenberg School and provides indispensable instruction on the various requirements for success in their academic and professional careers.

Supported the company onsite workshop programs by: responding to requests for information, speaking with company representatives including many senior executives, making suggestions for training paths, drafting contracts and acting as intermediary between companies and our faculty network. Supported the long-term Co-Learning Partners program by: compiling and analyzing data from various projects, going to the "gemba" and supporting aspects of companies' lean transformations, engaging in value stream mapping and visual management tools to facilitate a better understanding of companies' needs, tracking financial data to ensure profitability. Benefited from personal interaction with key leaders in the Lean Global Network. Was given the opportunity to participate in several intensive training programs on various aspects of lean management. Personal learning and development was greatly benefited from daily interaction with some of the leading thinkers on lean. I was coached and mentored in my activities in such an affirming way that my view of management has positively changed as a result.
