For Organizations

Dr. Sims starts where most advisors don’t.

With a genuine effort to understand your organization before recommending anything. That means understanding your culture, your history, and the dynamics that don’t appear in any report. It means asking questions that surface what is actually driving the problem rather than confirming what everyone already suspects. And it means being honest about what she finds, even when the answer is more complicated than anyone hoped.

The service lines below are starting points for a conversation shaped by what your organization needs, not a fixed menu.

Organizational Research and Assessment

Most organizations know something is wrong long before they know what is driving it. Dr. Sims uses qualitative and quantitative methods to surface what is actually happening beneath the symptoms everyone can see and to build the measurement frameworks that help organizations track whether their efforts are making a difference. The result is a clear picture of your specific situation, grounded in your data and your people.

This work can include organizational listening sessions, employee engagement analysis and action planning, benchmarking, and implementing metrics to track progress on key initiatives.

Strategy Advising

Sometimes what an organization needs most is someone to help them build a clear plan and figure out how to make it real. Dr. Sims works with senior leaders on the practical work of moving forward, setting direction, building buy-in, and designing approaches that fit the organization rather than fight it.

This work can include building training and learning capabilities from the ground up, executive-level strategic planning facilitation, and leadership development strategy across audiences and learning modalities. For organizations navigating change, Dr. Sims also provides support to help leaders think through implementation, communication, and the human dynamics that determine whether change efforts actually take hold.

Leadership Programs and Workshops

Leadership development works when it fits the organization it was built for. Dr. Sims designs and delivers custom programs and workshops grounded in research, shaped by your culture and context, and measured for real impact. Open enrollment workshops are also available for organizations that want to develop their leaders without the investment of a fully custom engagement.

Keynotes

Dr. Sims speaks on leadership, organizational culture, psychological safety, and what leading well in complex organizations actually demands. Her keynotes draw on a balance of research and real organizational experience.

Let’s start with a conversation

If your organization is dealing with something that has not responded to the usual answers, Dr. Sims would like to talk. The first conversation is about understanding what you are facing and whether she is the right person to help.
