Why should our clients choose you?
With over 25 years of experience as an organizational consultant, executive coach, speaker, writer, and leadership developer, Dr. Bridges has extensive proficiency and success in selecting the right candidates, developing positive habits, and inculcating culture with the values that matter most. Leadership is never static, and her background in brain science permeates the suggestions she makes. Change is hard for all humans and something we can understand and work with when we grasp the two-million-year-old software that runs much of our decision-making. Her relatable and pragmatic style shifts research findings into digestible steps. It’s evidence-based without requiring a Ph.D. to interpret. She imbues her approaches with the latest research on mindset, habits, and transition management.

Executive Coaching
We work one-to-one with key leadership – those who are crucial to driving organizational success – to carefully assess current skills, discover areas for growth and develop specific coaching plans.
Assessments
An important part of selecting candidates for hiring and for internal development as an adjunct to your talent management system is assessment. We utilize several tools, individually and in combination, to evaluate how leaders and staff see themselves, and each other. We frequently use the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), Hogan Assessment Systems, Predictive Index (PI) and critical and conceptual thinking tests as well other appropriate assessments based on what is most effective for each unique client. Testing data provides insightful information on an individual level, and can also be used at the group level to address organization development needs.
Leadership Development
We challenge and guide leaders to learn, grow and evolve to drive the organizational mission. Our customized processes and plans include 360-degree feedback, peer mentoring, workshops, assessments and project-based team learning.
Performance Management/Succession/Leader Development
Using thought partnership, including interviews and focus groups, and hands-on workshops, we recommend and implement plans around leadership succession, performance management, generational differences, organizational culture and leadership development.
Change Consulting
To help understand change and foster a sense of trust through times of organizational evolution, we provide training, workshops and recommendations on managing transitions, leading through change and change management tactics.
Human Resources Consulting
Whether working with existing human resources departments, or helping to create human resources functions for smaller organizations, we provide comprehensive, strategic consulting to include departmental audit, development program assessment, senior human resources leadership consulting, team review and developmental planning.
Team Development
We work with leadership teams to build cohesion, foster collaboration, level-up performance and meet strategic goals. We incorporate testing, hands-on training and high-touch development work.
