About Cheryl Couch Baran

I am a Talent & Development leader who enables mid to large sized organizations to attain their business results through talent strategies. I’m highly inquisitive and surface rich talent insights which shed light on organizational needs. The solutions I develop are a balance of pragmatic solutions, ensuring the essentials are in place, as well as those that are innovative, breaking new ground. My diverse experience in learning & development, talent management and change management as well as being in \"central\" HR roles and \"local\" lines of business enables me to build cost effective and high impact solutions that are sustainable. I understand what it takes to build a global broad reaching solution with the flexibility to meet local business needs. I drive results by putting in place holistic strategies, project management and being rigorous in assessing and measuring impact. I am a people person and believe in the strength of relationships. I am a natural collaborator and have strong relationships at all levels in the organizations I work for and with. What you can’t see in my resume is the level of determination and the spirit I bring to a team. I am passionate about creating environments where people and teams are highly engaged and successful. At my core I am a coach who wants to help bring out the best in others and enable their success.
