The Reach West Radio show welcomes Mindy Mackenzie, an accomplished corporate executive, acclaimed speaker and author, and CEO advisor. Before starting her advisory practice, Mindy served as Chief Performance Officer of Beam, Inc., where she earned the nickname of the “Velvet Hammer.” Her career also includes five years at Campbell Soup Co, where she lived and worked overseas, and nine years at Wal-Mart, where she advanced through various Senior Leadership HR and Organizational Development roles. Mindy’s bold combination of honesty and empathy and truth telling in the workplace led to her understanding that change is an inside-out job, and the only thing we can reliably change or control at any company is ourselves. Her expertise includes leadership and organizational effectiveness, transformational change, culture, and strategy. Mindy is also the author of the recently released book "The Courage Solution: The Power of Truth Telling with Your Boss, Peers, and Team."
