Britta is a rockstar! She is an exceptional speaker and leader. She is adept at building high performing teams, as well as consistently engaging and inspiring even the most discerning audiences with her phenomenal storytelling and extensive knowledge. In my role leading senior executive leadership development programs for the Federal government, every group of leaders that she has engaged with have left buzzing about the possibilities & results they could achieve with the tools and mindsets she has given them. It’s clear how much passion she has about the topics she speaks. She follows up with everyone who asks a question and generously provides her email for additional inquiries. She will even ask them to email her updates of their progress and results.
As CEO, I have found it challenging for many HR professionals to build a bridge between compliance, company direction & profitability and leading the workforce against the backdrop of ever-changing human dynamics. Their focus is often in their areas of comfort where boundaries are clear. But, what the executives need are pathfinders who have deep expertise in the business and HR, and can provide strategic guidance, compliance and clear plans to meet the objectives. This is Britta! She has the unparalleled ability to quickly assess situations, understand your business and goals and then offer invaluable insights and direction. She inspires execs to think bigger and lead better.
I was introduced to Britta when she was an executive at Expedia facilitating a global learning summit. She was so impressive that I knew I had to get her to Pixar. Britta is a dynamic, energizing speaker with a depth of knowledge. She is a trusted leader and advisor to so many in the creative and business community. In her time at Pixar, she instituted several invaluable practices & programs. Most notable was how she shaped and championed a new process for ensuring Pixar films are not only wonderful movies, but also tell stories in an inclusive and culturally accurate way.
Britta is the ultimate leader and champion, not just for her team, but for all those who she comes in contact with. Her impact is felt wide and deep. She uses her knowledge and experience to inspire and challenge up and down the organization. She’s fearless in her truth telling and compassionate in her mentorship. She has shown me to how to lead with confidence, deliver with impact and always execute on time. Whether presenting to hundreds or chatting with a small group, she has an easy way of commanding your attention because you want to hear what she has to say. Too many times, I have witnessed that after she speaks, there is a line a mile along of those who want to engage more. And because, Britta is generous, graceful and welcoming, she will take the time to speak with every single person.
