Kristy, please introduce yourself to our audience and tell us about your professional journey in the HR industry so far.
I spent two decades as a Strategic Human Resources Leader, Change Manager and Organizational Development Expert, during which I held senior leadership positions at several large global business entities. I’ve always believed in a big picture perspective with a hands-on, actionable approach which I brought to life by becoming an accidental entrepreneur when I created SkillCycle (formerly known as GoCoach). The goal of SkillCycle is to help companies build toward their business goals and maximize their ROI through investing from within and empowering their employees to continue to hone their craft and take ownership of their careers.
What inspired you to co-found SkillCycle? What mission and vision does the organization uphold?
I spent 20 years in HR vetting systems built by non-HR people that were essentially designed backwards. These outmoded systems on the market today provide performance management with no learning outcomes for people; generate engagement data and analytics that connect to literally nothing; and produce generic point-in-time learning that barely scratches the surface of what skills deficits exist within organizations. SkillCycle re-centers the full scope of talent development, experiential learning and performance management around education that drives actionable engagement and connects individual outcomes to overall company performance and goal progression.
