Hi! I’m Kathy Miller Perkins.
Before founding Miller Consultants, I had a wide variety of jobs: waitress, nursing home attendant, factory worker (boxing beer bottles on a packing line), teacher, selling wigs at Kmart. However, no matter the nature of my work, my engagement in it depended on the culture of the organization:
Did the organization live the values they promoted?
Did they know how to measure the impact of their people strategies?
Did they attract ~ and keep ~ talented people?
Did the customers think the organization’s promises were authentic?
Too often the answer was “no.”
My work experiences made me want to make a difference in the work lives of others.
I care about how people experience their work. I believe that all of us should understand our value to our organizations and take pride in our contributions to the betterment of our world.
I believe in the significance of company purpose, the capacity for leadership in everyone, the power of positive cultures and the promise of transformation.
I realized that I wanted to translate these beliefs into action. I wanted to show organizations that creating a vibrant culture, one that embeds purpose beyond profits, leads to greater, sustainable success.
So I founded Miller Consultants.
More about me here and on LinkedIn. But Miller Consultants is so much more than just me…
