Meet Malika
I am a high-energy, results-oriented individual. In Gallup’s Strengthsfinder my top 5 strengths are:
Positivity
Includer
Activator
Maximizer
Arranger
As an organization development practitioner, I build strong relationships, create interesting facilitation, enjoy strategic design, bring outside-of-the-box ideas, and focus on fun while we do it all. So far this approach has produced highly successful partnerships with startups and established brands in tech, marketing, retail, travel, product, financial services and entertainment to create award-winning culture.
I understand how to create opportunity to have the better conversation in the room when facing business challenges, build meaningful (even transformational) programs that are directly tied to the company strategy, shift the way people approach conflict and collaboration, inspire personal development throughout to empower leaders and engage effective tactics to create engaging learning experiences in person or virtually.
I thrive working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments, and am passionate about empowering leaders with the awareness and resources that they need to accelerate growth within themselves, their teams and the organization. I am a thought leadership partner and community builder who can gather and organize data to give the organization clear insights about what they can do to accelerate growth, sustain in challenging times or pivot toward new, emerging opportunities. I am a consultant who can use my business experience, education and personal strengths to partner in building exceptional, healthy organizations.
