The Jump Off

HRnB is a boutique consultancy and my approach is not a one-size-fits-all. Each client engagement is customized based on individual needs. It all starts with a conversation.

Intro phone call

To begin, we’ll spend approximately 60 minutes learning about each other in a one-to-one conversation or with as many participants as needed, on-site or virtually. 

The focus of this meeting is to align on how we could work together and see if the vibe is right. Essentially, we’re interviewing each other. 


I’ll take copious notes and ask a lot of questions and I anticipate you’ll do the same.

Strategy 
& proposal

By the meeting’s end, and if we decide to move forward, we will have reached a level of understanding that allows me to send a sample statement of work and recommendation on an engagement.

Plan forward

Then, we’ll schedule follow-up conversations with key individuals in the business; they can range from Co-founders to leadership team members to investment partners and anyone in between. 

Ultimately, we will land on an engagement that accelerates the business.

I support  founders & leadership teams in the creation of a meaningful, scalable employee experience so they can focus on evolving business needs, without having to deal with large-scale, impersonal HR firms.
