About

𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑵𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒚𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 My colleagues and I understand the complexities that come with leading a team in today's evolving workplaces.

We are here to help managers build their dream teams and unleash their team’s full potential. 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: With an MBA and a background in management, research, business strategy, technology, and marketing operations, I started and grew a SaaS EdTech business for an international company. In 8.5 years, through hiring, building and mentoring a highly functioning dynamic team, the business thrived across North America. Annual sales reached $10 million (@$10 per licence) with an average renewal rate over 90%. Throughout my career, I have developed robust practices to hire and develop world-class teams of productive, and effective change makers. 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔: "The time I have spent with these ladies has been priceless! I have been working in my industry for over 20 years and very recently moved into a management / leadership role. While I had some ideas on how I wanted to lead my group, they were able to give me some very useful tools in a very short time to help me reach members of my team that I was not connecting to as effectively as I wanted. The tools are easy and they each had their own experiences to pull from to illustrate application - I was able to turn around and use them within days and experienced great feedback from my team. Thank you!!!" "She is both a leader and a mentor and is well respected by her staff and peers." "She inspires and motivates her team and staff. Rene is genuine and her friendly nature fosters relationships with everyone she meets."
