Hi, I'm Brie.
I generally describe myself as some combination of the following things: writer, special needs mom, certified career coach, HR strategist, communications expert, boy mom, wife, dog mom, bookworm, perpetual list maker.
But you’re not here for me. You’re here for YOU.
You’re here for something special. Take a look at the options below and let’s find exactly what you’re looking for.
Policies, Procedures, and HR Foundations
Too often HR gets reduced to “just paperwork.” But strong, scalable organizations don’t build on sand — they build on solid foundations.
In this service area I work with you to define, refine, and implement the core building blocks of your HR practice:
Core HR policies and procedures that are clear, defensible, and user-friendly.
Job-family and role-design frameworks so everyone knows how their work fits into the bigger picture.
HR systems and processes that align with your business goals (not just compliance check-boxes).
A foundational HR blueprint that supports growth, avoids common pitfalls (e.g., inconsistent treatment, unclear expectations), and sets your team up for success.
Whether you’re building your HR infrastructure from scratch or refreshing an existing program, we’ll ensure your foundation is built for scale, clarity, and alignment.
Hiring and Onboarding
Your people are one of the most important parts of your business — and how you bring them in and set them up matters.
In this area we partner to:
Design a hiring process that attracts the right candidates, evaluates them through a business-lens, and delivers a positive candidate experience.
Create onboarding journeys that go beyond orientation — so new hires become productive, engaged contributors faster.
Develop role-specific ramp plans, training pathways, and integration touchpoints.
Build repeatable templates, checklists, and toolkits so you’re not reinventing the wheel each time you hire.
The result: better hires, faster integration, higher retention — and your team being ready to deliver value sooner.
Management and Leadership Training
Being a leader today means more than issuing directives. It means building strong human connections, driving alignment, and modelling the behaviours that make your team thrive.
With my “3 Cs of Management” framework — Communication, Consistency, Common Sense — we’ll work together on:
Strengthening your leadership presence and influence.
Developing the managerial skills needed for coaching, feedback, delegation, performance conversations, and accountability.
Building consistency in how managers act, how they’re perceived, and how their teams feel.
Embedding common-sense frameworks into leadership behaviours so decisions feel grounded, purposeful, and human.
Strengthening your leadership presence and influence.
Developing the managerial skills needed for coaching, feedback, delegation, performance conversations, and accountability.
Building consistency in how managers act, how they’re perceived, and how their teams feel.
Embedding common-sense frameworks into leadership behaviors so decisions feel grounded, purposeful, and human.
Whether you’re an emerging leader or managing multiple leaders, this training ensures your management layer is confident, aligned, and effective.
Employee Relations and Communication
Your employees are your most important audience—and often the least-addressed in your communication strategy. Problems don’t wait to happen; they often lurk beneath the surface.
In this service we focus on:
Employee-relations protocols: how to handle issues, questions, and conflict in ways that preserve trust and foster engagement.
Building communication strategies that move beyond newsletters: employee-focused calendars, integrated comms plans, two-way feedback loops.
Designing materials and touchpoints that keep your team informed, motivated, aligned with business goals, and connected to one another.
Mapping internal communication plans that complement your external brand, while recognizing your employees’ unique needs and perspectives.
The outcome: fewer surprises, stronger culture, more engaged teams, and less “we should’ve known that” moments.
Custom Projects
Got an HR need that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the above buckets? That’s OK — this is where flexibility meets precision.
I partner with you on high-impact, one-off, episodic initiatives such as:
Salary/compensation studies and benchmarking.
Benefits reviews or redesigns.
Succession-planning frameworks and talent-pipeline strategies.
Special projects tied to a business-initiative (e.g., international expansion, low-tier product-line growth, culture transformation).
We’ll scope the work together, define outcomes, set timelines, and I’ll bring both strategic thinking and implementation horsepower.
If you’re facing something unique and critical — let’s talk and co-create the plan.

With 20+ years of experience in HR strategy, talent development, and corporate communications — combined with an MBA and SPHR credential — I’ve worked across every stage of the employee lifecycle.
