Melissa Daimler

As an executive leading organizational and leadership development at iconic, high growth companies, Melissa identified ways to design and build cultures that were created both top-down and bottom-up. She will share the best practices she’s learned along the way toward building a sustainable culture that develops people while also building the business.  The great cultures do not happen by chance. They are intentionally designed and built through strategic leadership, clear behaviors, and integrated processes. Melissa will share statistics and stories, challenges and opportunities, strategics and tactics that she’s learned along the way toward building cultures that both build the business and develop leaders.

Melissa Daimler cares about organizations getting their culture right. Culture is not something that will be nice to have when we have the time and resources to define it. It’s being defined every day at your organizations—the question is are you defining an intentional culture strategy or are your employees? And does the cultural strategy integrate into the business strategy? Does it guide how employees will be developed through a certain set of behaviors? These are the questions. Melissa will share statistics and stories, challenges and opportunities, strategics and tactics that she’s learned along the way toward building cultures that both build the business and develop leaders.

Our employees are expecting to make an impact through meaningful work, growth through development opportunities, and express themselves authentically within a safe environment. Organizations are being asked to create a vision while also driving a successful, agile business. The most sustainable organizations know that organizational development can’t be done without also focusing on individual development. Organizations don’t have an option to become a learning organization–they must be one in order to meet the needs of the global marketplace and provide an engaging value proposition to leaders.

Melissa Daimler will share her stories and experiences at high-growth Silicon Valley companies and layout new approaches to make work the learning lab for developing great organizations and great people.
