ABOUT KAREN MATHEWS

Ms. Mathews has developed powerful one-on-one and team processes that allows even the most resistant people to open up and cooperate to improve productivity within the team. Everyone is more motivated and effective using the skills she teaches them in team working sessions and coaching.

She’s achieved real results for Silicon Valley corporations in over 15 years of experience as a performance consultant.

Results from Consulting Engagements :

• Employee of the month - with a top salesperson who was bullying support staff. His style impacted productivity and demoralized everyone. Modified behavior of employee to help others be more successful and increase sales for the company over 5 weeks.

• Retention of a key executive - retracted her resignation and worked more effectively with a startup management team from a half-day facilitation.

• Increased productivity and quality output of engineering teams formed after a merger in 2 months after two years of tension and low productivity for Lockheed Martin.

It’s no wonder Ms. Mathews is so good at what she does. She spent 29 years working as a team leader and facilitator for aerospace companies. That experience trained her to resolve engineering team challenges.

Her past accomplishments include:

• Keeping projects on track by leading problem-solving sessions with engineering teams

• Forming special teams to tackle manufacturing defects and keep production costs down

• Facilitating a cooperative effort with a challenging foreign supplier and bringing them into compliance with NASA requirements

• Building customer trust with her excellent communication and relationship building skills
