ABOUT JERI SCHULZE

Plan for tomorrow today.\" I am a future-focused organizational development enthusiast and Gallup Certified Strengths Coach with a track record of successfully developing and implementing programs to help organizations and employees thrive. My passion for helping organizations and people achieve their potential was born from the opportunities to partner with business leaders throughout my 20+ year career in human resources. After years in generalist HR roles at multiple levels, I\'m following my purpose and passion and am pursuing opportunities in talent and organizational development.A lifetime learner, I attended the University of North Dakota twice. I earned two bachelor\'s degrees (BS in Criminal Justice Studies with a Psychology minor and a BBA with a Management major) and my MBA. The learner bug bit me again, and I earned a Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design at UW-Stout in the Spring of 2022.Professionally, I\'ve had the opportunity to work in various industries, including retail, restaurants, property and data services, supply chain, and power sports. I am not afraid to try a new industry; in fact, it excites me to have the opportunity to learn another business! Not only have I had the fortune to work in various sectors, but I\'ve also been a part of large private family-owned, medium-sized publicly traded, and small companies owned by private equity. Roles have included recruiter, business partner, Regional Director of HR, and most recently, executive leadership team member as Vice President of Human Resources. Through it all, I have prioritized learning and understanding the business to better partner with leadership to identify and implement key strategies to support the long-term health of those organizations and their people. Key strategies and programs include internship programs, succession planning, overhauls of performance management approaches, and improved engagement and culture.Throughout my 20+ year career, I have demonstrated my deep passion for helping people be their very best. I believe we all have a purpose on this Earth, and I love supporting those I teach and work with as they fulfill theirs!If you are looking to add a passionate organizational development professional to your team, either full-time or via consultative engagement, I welcome connecting with you!
