Susan Michl is one of those women that walk into your orbit and “wow”! That was a very lucky day at FirstRule Group!
We’d like to introduce you to Susan Michl! For more than two decades, Susan has worked in both industry and consulting across both business and nonprofit spaces, serving the tech, legal, entertainment, health care, and life science arenas in project and program management, change management, and interim leadership roles. She has worked on a number of global, cross-functional initiatives, leading organizations through both system and operational transformational changes. Susan earned a master’s in information management and holds a certificate in information architecture, both from University of Washington’s Information School. She’s also a facilitator and coach and is currently working on a certification in positive psychology. We’re grateful to have Susan working on two projects with us. She’s helping one agency understand its statewide scope of services for a distinct population. With another agency, she’s leading a team to develop and roll out new standards and policies, a large-scale, cross-functional effort that will shift the way a variety of different groups work together to improve a particular service so it’s more compassionate and more effective. Susan says she enjoys helping organizations and teams work more effectively and efficiently. She loves making connections and building a culture of collaboration where all team members feel valued and engaged in the work. In addition to building thriving teams, Susan excels at “bringing calm to the chaos,” emphasizing the importance of building relationships and trust across your team in order to overcome the challenges that inevitably arise when working with complex cross-functional programs. Susan has lived in Seattle over half her life. She’s a weekend gardener, enthusiastic party planner, and curious traveler. When staying closer to home, she enjoys spending time in the San Juan Islands. When she needs a longer hiatus, she loves adventuring in Europe. This last summer she and her son navigated the west coast of Ireland in a tiny rental car. They marveled at the incredible landscapes, the narrow roads, and free-roaming sheep. We’re thrilled to have you with us, Susan! #projectmanager #projectmanagement #businessconsulting #pmtips
