Ensure your Organizational Wellbeing
Attract top talent who share your vision and stay because of your healthy culture
Political unrest, economic uncertainty, the pandemic, racial reckoning and increasing environmental concerns have all changed the way we think about work and how we work.
Work is transforming right before our eyes and it’s challenging…
To remain successful, you need a positive culture that feels caring, trustworthy and safe to your team.
What worked in the past will not work in the future of work.

What’s Ombudsology about?
Ombudsology LLC serves as an additional, unique resource companies can provide to improve the psychological safety and positivity of their organizational culture. I founded the firm to meet the communication and conflict management needs I saw in the small business landscape.
- As a senior leader, you benefit from having a neutral, confidential conflict expert to give you insights and help make transitions ( like post-merger integration or joining a DSO) more easier.
- Your middle managers benefit from having a conflict and communication expert to enhance their skills and offer guidance and practice.
- Your HR team expands its expertise and bandwidth when you invest in an Ombuds to manage interpersonal disputes and organization wellbeing.
I’m sharing the knowledge, experience and wisdom I gained as an Organizational Ombuds and as an award-winning entrepreneur who has served big and small companies for three decades.
What is an Organizational Ombuds?
If you thought, ‘om-what?’, you’re in good company! Most people have never heard of the role or know what an Ombuds can do for an organization.
"The primary duties of an organizational ombuds are (1) to work with individuals and groups in an organization to explore and assist them in determining options to help resolve conflicts, problematic issues or concerns, and (2) to bring systemic concerns to the attention of the organization for resolution." International Ombuds Association.

microaggressions, the constant pressure to outperform and the constant fear of being misunderstood, it’s a miracle professional women even get out of bed, let alone excel at our jobs. But we do—until we can’t take it anymore.
