Our Services
Companies face increasing challenges when it comes to employee engagement and retention, talent acquisition and workforce migration, cultural polarization and tensions, and difficulty keeping up with the pace of technological advances, such as AI.
To succeed in a rapidly evolving space, HR leaders “emphasize the importance of adaptability, human skills, and upskilling to build a thriving, human-centric workplace.”
That’s exactly what we do at Lighten Up.
Translate complicated data into “human speak,” providing actionable insights.
Insights and Analysis – Drowning in data but starving for insights? I’ll help you see the story your data is trying to tell and translate it into “human speak” so it can have an impact.
Strategy Design – In a data-saturated world, every business decision must be data-driven. I’ll help you cut through the noise and translate information into actionable strategic plans and road maps. We’ll tie every initiative and project to your business objectives so that you can efficiently and effectively reach your goals.
Measure What Matters – To achieve success, we have to define success—and know when we get there. Leveraging design sessions, we’ll get your team on the same page with a clear vision of what success looks like. And we’ll align up front on what metrics we’ll use to track our progress (and know when we’ve arrived!).
Tell stories that people connect with—and design human-centered experiences
that bring your story to life.
Employer Branding – Now more than ever, you need to be clear, authentic and transparent in your values, culture and workplace norms. Together, we’ll uncover your company’s value proposition and craft a compelling and authentic brand story that will make you stand out in the crowd.
Employee Experience Design – A good story is only that—a story. You need to ensure that your employees’ experiences align with and reinforce the brand story that you tell. I’ll help you create a culture that aligns with your values and design experiences that attract and retain top talent (and make work more meaningful and fun!).
Speaking Engagements – No matter how strong your culture and engaging your employee experiences, sometimes you just need a little boost and someone to help you see things differently. My highly interactive and entertaining presentations are designed to motivate and educate and can be customized for any topic and organization.
Unlock people’s creativity to develop solutions to even the most complex problems—and make it fun for people too.
Change Management and Culture Creation – Completely embrace AI or approach it with caution? Return to office or go fully remote? There is a lot of uncertainty in today’s workplace that can create division among employees and resistance to change within an organization—at a time when alignment and openness to change are critical elements of success. We’ll create end-to-end strategies, from high-level roadmaps to specific experiences, to help you create the culture you want and navigate change.
Training and Coaching – In today’s job market, employees crave security and want to feel that companies have their best interest at heart and are invested in them. We’ll work together to identify areas where your employees could benefit from upskilling and design learning and professional development experiences that will leave them feeling ready to face the challenges ahead—and committed to your organization.
Workshop Facilitation – Is your team facing a challenge that they’re struggling to overcome? A facilitated human-centered design may be the key to getting them unstuck and finding the best solution. Designed to enhance collaboration, innovation, empathy and out-of-the-box thinking, there’s a human-centered design method to match any problem.
