We built something we always wished we had…
Real Talk.
Smart Strategy.
Better Work.
Heeyo!
We’re two actual work friends who’ve been side-by-side through layoffs, reorgs, promotions, good bosses, bad bosses, great teams, and every “is this normal?” moment in between. After 20+ years each leading Talent, Leadership, and Business strategy, we started Your Work Friends to make sense of all the wild stuff happening at work—and what’s coming next—so you can stay ahead without losing your mind (or your standards).
What started as late-night texts, voice memos, and a running thread of relatable work memes is now a podcast, a business, and a mission to make work better, one honest conversation at a time.
Strategic where it counts. Human where it matters.
I’ve spent two decades inside corporate (Big Law, KPMG, and Deloitte) leading talent strategy across employee experience, leadership development, talent acquisition, and talent technology. I’m certified in all the things—SHRM-SCP, Predictive Index—but what really matters? I know how to cut through noise, spot the root issue, and help people and business grow together.
That’s why I started Cordelia Consulting: to help organizations build better workplaces and help individuals lead with purpose. Its also what led me to co-create Your Work Friends with Francesca. We wanted to create a podcast where we make sense of what’s happening at work (and to work) in a way that’s honest, funny, and practical.
Clients have described me as lighthouse in the dark, shining light on what matters most. Personally? I just want work to feel a little more human. Outside of all that, you’ll find me at the beach or on ‘get lost drives’ with my husband, working in the studio on stained glass art for my loved ones, or binging true crime with a scoop of pistachio ice cream in hand.
Frank founder. People strategist. Corporate truth teller.
I’ve spent 20 years leading learning and talent at companies like Nike, Baker Tilly, and Deloitte—building internal teams that operate like rev-gen businesses.
My approach?
Practical. Honest. Impact-first. Brand-aware.
In 2024, I launched Frank to help founders, department heads and HR leaders build Employee Value Propositions that actually get used—by managers, by teams, by leadership. It’s also why I co-created Your Work Friends, with Mel. Because I want work to work for your now and your next.
I have a reputation for making really complex things simple, “giving a damn” about the work and people and starting my sentences with, “Listen…” And, when you come over to my house, you’ll typically find my son and my boxer, Lucy (who makes pod appearances) fighting for space in my lap. Which, I’m not going to lie, I totally love.
