As a measurement strategist, Whitney’s passion and expertise lies in the field of surveys and assessments. A self-professed “data nerd,” Whitney has a Master’s degree in the area of Human Resources Measurement and Evaluation and has conducted extensive research on the predictive validity of various hiring assessment strategies. Thanks to over a decade functioning as a “vendor-agnostic” consultant, Whitney provides a unique perspective on the broad landscape of the testing and assessment industry. She is a firm believer that there are no one-size-fits-all “best” products, and that tools and vendors should be selected based on their ability to solve a specific problem. She spends much of her time studying the available tools in the marketplace, scrutinizing the science, and analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate uses for each. Whitney has been a highly rated speaker at several National HR Conferences and has authored articles on assessments for several books and publications, including Harvard Business Review. She is a member of the Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and has two decades of experience working in the assessment industry.

From a young age, I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. My dad owns and operates his own business, and I loved going to work with him, seeing the ins and outs of the operation. I fell in love with the business world. Entrepreneurship was discouraged in my home. I was told to go to college, preferably pursue a career in the medical field, and have a stable career. Trying to figure out my path in life, I have worked in restaurants, was a CNA, dropped out of ultrasound tech school, attended a community college on and off for 4 years (ended up with an Associates in Communications), worked for Disney, etc. I eventually married my high school sweetheart and started our own family. When the pandemic hit, I started to take an audit of my life to see if there was room for improvement. I came to the conclusion that almost every area of my life needed improvement. I was not who or where I wanted to be in life. I was not the mother my boys deserved. I was not pursuing the career I wanted for myself. I was not the person I knew I had to become for everything to fall into place. I started to do my own personal development so that I could become the person who finally invented Laundry Buddy and manage my own company. My journey has not been easy, and it will continue to be uncomfortable. True growth in any aspect of life will never be an easy task. I am proud of how far I have come and excited for how much more work I will accomplish.

Over time I have been selective in my repertoire and by osmosis identified a range of popular songs with insights to match. "You'd better not read this or you might get too near a climax of reality." To be said in a Scottish accent, about this key note speaker who gives you a taste of his logic, just after he compares the ambiguity of "Blowing in the wind" to three necessary leadership strategies. There's a market for him because there's people out there without a heart and there's people out there with a heart. That's not entirely true, more true is there's a lot people who keep their heart a secret and sometimes, it becomes a secret from themselves. I've been entertaining with popular song lyrics for 30+ years. I'm passionate about the importance of hi-lighting the wisdom easily glossed over because of a good tune, that which gave birth to the great tune. “He speaks in a distinctive Scottish accent. With a friendly, bubbly personality that lights up the room.” Baltimore Jewish Times JOIN ME FOR A DEEP DIVE INTO STUNNING LEADERSHIP AND RELATED SELF IMPROVEMENT IDEAS FOUND IN FAMOUS (and not so famous) songs. Self praise is no praise, but to make a keynote speech includes inspiring people, and in that, my life's work has something perhaps to say as I have been making such expositions all the years (see videos). I will make an account on these insights as well as performing a little at the piano to best demonstrate how they are understood. And I hand out rhythm instruments as we have the odd sing along.
