Experience

How Randee is Your Ideal Coach
Helping others has always been my life goal and mission. Whether it was as a trauma nurse working with patients dealing with life and death decisions, sexual assault, or other stressful situations…I saw myself as the one who would be there for you, the one you could trust for procedures or count on for information.
As a healthcare executive, I was the leader you want to work for, who is fair, gets you, teaches you, and helps you to be a better version of yourself. Now as a coach, I am the one who can listen, challenge you, intuitively share what is going on, and then help you build your action plan for achieving what you want in your professional and personal life.
- If you visited a foreign land would you hire a guide who has read about the country or one who has actually lived there? The same applies to coaching. There are many coaches but very few who have executive experience. There are also few coaches who have been invited by Forbes to be a part of their national Coaches Council.
- I could not continue in the corporate world where mindfulness, compassion and caring were absent, and few women rose to top levels. The focus was totally on results. When results are not in, then we offshore employees, lay them off, or look for other cost cutting mechanisms.
Rentention
There is a balance or a correlation between compassion and achieving results. It is impossible to have results when your turnover is constant or high. A recent study by Willis Towers Watson showed that more than 50% of all global organizations have difficulty retaining their most valued employees.
Turnover
And the financial cost is 20-200% of the salary of the departing employee. It is an epidemic how much turnover is in certain industries. Or another way of looking at this is why would anyone work for an industry that has more than 50% annual turnover?
Finding Balance
In my past corporate roles, I had the lowest staff turnover in an industry with 20-40% annual turnover. The key was being that fully present leader who was kind, selfless, confident and striving for results with an informed and supported team.
