The Corporate Nanny™ travels to companies and organizations with her unique blend of fresh, humorous and common sense approach to problem- solving to overcome management challenges. The Corporate Nanny™ teaches us to get back to the basics and discusses her four easy-to-remember Playground Personalities©, featured in her book, Oops! I’m The Manager! What Do I Do Now? In 5 Easy Steps, as a way to overcome daily management and work related issues.  Mastering these Playground Personalities© will offer organizations new ways to work with their own as well as their client teams and overcome the unavoidable challenges that goes along with management. All presentations are Instructor-led and the workshops are highly interactive and focus on:

  • Initial reactions to the content of material

  • Perspectives on the situation
  • Feedback on possible alternative solutions
  • Questions on technical aspects of the situation

Her presentation materials are visually appealing and the workshop instruction will use the following approaches:  lecture, discussion, small group activities and case studies.
