Kimberly Douglas, SPHR’s Summary

I have a passion for helping team leaders bring out the best in those who work for them. This means making sure everyone knows and is committed to where we are going as a team - and they know how they need to work together to get there.

Clients at organizations such as AT&T, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, United Way, UPS, and even the US Marine Corps hire me to facilitate or to speak – to dramatically improve their business performance.

Wiley just published my first book, The Firefly Effect - a guidebook for managers with key insights and tools for building teams that work creatively and cooperatively together, produce tangible results, and make employees proud to be a part of something bigger and more meaningful than just 'work'.

I believe in giving back to my community - and fulfill on that promise by providing pro bono consulting and facilitation services to such organizations as Leadership Atlanta, the Partnership Against Domestic Violence, and The Westminster Schools.
