Michelle McHargue
Partner, Costanoa Ventures

At Costanoa Ventures we know the key to success for our portfolio companies is talent. Our firm has worked closely with Lynne through the years on organization development and executive and team coaching. She is an important thought partner for me on all aspects of my work, always encouraging new ways of thinking.

CHALLENGE

How to educate and train hiring managers at portfolio companies on hiring and managing best practices.

SOLUTION

Lynne and I created a workshop where we educated the managers of our portfolio companies on hiring, managing and communication best practices. We brought tools such as assessments, interviewing best practices and more to empower the manager and director level. So much emphasis is put on executives, yet it’s this level that can really make or break a company. In one day, we did a masterclass on how to manage and grow your team intentionally and with the best results.

KEY RESULTS

• By uncovering expectations, Lynne will get your team better at communicating with one another.
• She will make you or your team better at being a people leader.
• Lynne will get your managers better at hiring and giving feedback, which has resulted in better talent management and growth.
• Lynne has helped up and coming executives come to their full potential as people leaders in any function.
