My name is Connie, I am a retired IBM learning and development leader with over 25 years’ experience designing and delivering prestigious learning initiatives. I hold a Doctorate degree and Master’s degree in Education, and I am an ICF Certified (ACC) coach.

My successful career as a leader evolved by applying trusted advisor skills to work with clients in order to deeply understand their business needs and in turn, deliver the right solution. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their professional goals through lifelong learning, coaching and leadership development.

I am sought after for my proven track record to drive strategic initiatives, enable executive decision-making, and manage high-impact projects within complex business environments.

At IBM, I introduced and delivered IBM’s premier AI Academy across the company, co-developed our first external offering on Cloud education and certification, introduced and designed a joint leadership program between IBM and external Fortune 100 clients, and led the company’s thought leadership on learning design principles.

Most recently, I founded Lancelot Consulting to continue my work in learning, leadership and development as a freelance consultant. My goal is to offer my experience in the L&D space to help individuals achieve executive presence, maintain a growth mindset, and reach their highest potential as individuals.

Comprehensive training and consulting solutions applying proven methodologies

I apply a personalized approach to each consulting engagement that empower your team and drive long-term success. I recommend to my clients closely integrating neuroscience, coaching, and actionable planning.

Neuroscience

A holistic and creative approach to goal-setting and skill-building, helping clients understand their unique brain wiring and receptors to navigate challenges, manage stress, build resilience, and enhance self-awareness by recognizing the brain’s response to perceived threats and anxiety.

Coaching

In coaching sessions, I reinforce client autonomy and self-regulation while fostering accountability and goal alignment. I use assessments to identify leadership behavior gaps and support growth through clear, actionable strategies.

Action planning

The laser-focused coaching methodology I use is built on the ICF (International Coaching Federation) set of competencies. Using a coach and client questioning technique, I co-create a partnership early in the discussion to establish an agreed outcome. This same approach is used whether individual- or team-based.  

Growth inspired characteristics of a leader

A growth-inspired leader is altruistic, empathetic, generative, and decisive. They uplift others, foster trust, and drive innovation while making confident, informed decisions. By balancing these traits, they create a culture of resilience, adaptability, and continuous growth.
