Are you experiencing turnover in your organization? Burnout may be the root cause and the good news is..... it can be avoided! In today's episode, Wendy Brand and I discuss how to create a thriving culture to avoid burning out your employees. We unpack Wendy's 4 steps for transformation and exactly how to implement.
Wendy's impressive 25-year career has spanned roles in marketing, operations and human resources, and traversed multiple industries including sports, travel, technology, and retail, illuminating her agility and adaptability.
Early in her career, Wendy’s adventurous spirit led her to undertake a marketing role both living and working aboard a cruise ship and then moving to the corporate office for Celebrity Cruises. She then went on to hold enviable leadership roles, such as leading the NCAA Final Four events in San Antonio in 2002 & 2004 and becoming the first Vice President of Operations for the WNBA Houston Comets.
Transitioning into non-profit, Wendy served as executive director for the former Palmer Drug Abuse program, now RISE Recovery. Her last decade in the corporate world was spent in Human Resources where she received a master’s degree in organizational development and leadership and worked for Rackspace Technology and Whataburger, two large San Antonio- based companies. During her time in HR, her impactful contributions encompassed steering teams through global mergers, architecting comprehensive talent development pathways, and crafting robust workforce strategies benefiting over 50,000 employees across 800+ stores.
Today, Wendy consults with organizations to build and execute talent strategies that create an environment where employees can thrive and she is the creator and host of her podcast, Authentic Energy.
