At SAM’S Club, her People Development team won the President’s Award for Excellence in 1999. During that same year, her team was recognized by Northwest Arkansas (NOARK)/ SHRM as the most innovative in the field, while she was named SHRM’s “Boss of the Year”.

She also has experience with Sheraton ITT in Training and Human Resources.
With an M.A. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (and Human Resources Management), and a minor in Statistics and Computer Science, she has authored and validated several skills assessment instruments, including the rapidly growing Inter Face™. The Inter Face™ is an insightful tool to help teams build better relationships, connect with each other through understanding differences, and improve their ability to influence and improve results.
She is currently finishing work on Leader L.A.B.™, a web-based Leadership Assessment of Behaviors for mid-level leaders. She is also finishing up two books, authoring “Prepared in Advance” to help individuals explore and utilize their core wiring, and co-authoring “Measure, Know, Grow”, a primer for organizational alignment and competency/results-based talent management.
Patti handles the design and implementation of EDGES’ “Grow Your People, Grow Your Business” initiatives, and the management of the highly experienced client services staff. She is also a member of the e-Gauge integrated architecture team for the e-Talent System, supporting competency/results-based talent identification and development. Her work emphasizes the connection between the job function, the skill required to do it, and the results goals expected of it. All initiatives seek to address one or more critical elements of this triad.
