Bridge Braintrust Founder & Human Resources Expert

A little about me: I am the Founder and Managing Consultant of Bridge Braintrust. My life and career have been transformed by education and life-long learning, informed by the wisdom of powerful mentors and impacted by phenomenal coaches.

As an advocate for people, my purpose is to give others the benefit of my experience, especially at work. As a mentor, I pour-in and lift-up; as a coach I draw out and evoke awareness, and as a lifelong learner and teacher, I enable transformation. My absolute joy is helping people and organizations do and be better - excellence is my true north.

 

This is my why; and it’s the driving force behind why I founded Bridge Braintrust.

Yvonne Evers, MBA, CCP

Succession Planning Expert, Board Consultant

A little about me:  Over the years, as a consultant, I saw many organizations struggle to fill executive, leadership and other roles when they experienced unexpected, sudden and rapid turnover.

 

To solve this problem, I designed a system that enables organizations to proactively plan for leadership succession, develop a critical skill inventory for key roles and identify high potential talent for executive development programs.

 

SUCCESSIONapp® is a technology enabled succession planning application leveraged by human resources leaders to build talent pipelines. We help organizations take a proactive stance in planning for their future.

Michelle McKinzie-Dolly, M.Ed.

Executive Coach & Human Resources Expert

A little about me: My life’s joy is supporting others to reach their fullest potential, whether it’s in my role as a coach, mentor, educator, human services leader, human resources professional or a relative or friend.

I have been blessed with numerous opportunities to observe that transformation from despair to hope, in individuals and teams, in my over 20 years of experience, within the Human Services Sector, internationally and in Canada.

The greatest asset of any organization is its people.  As a transformational leader and solutions-focused coach, I possess the skills needed to engage diverse employee populations and inspire them to perform beyond expectations. I honed my skills in not-for-profit leadership and later transitioned to the public sector.

A little about me:  After enjoying a 20+ year “dream-come-true” CHRO career, I now have the opportunity to devote full attention to my passion of individual and organizational effectiveness as an executive coach and trusted advisor to CEOs, CHROs, and boards of directors. I am hired for my ability to effectively partner with CEOs, other C-Suite executives, and board members, as well as an organization’s High Potential talent.

 

Together, we address the question, “What’s going on within our business and what are the human capital implications?”. I focus on strategy, building inclusive cultures, facilitating courageous conversations, and leveraging Diversity & Inclusion as a business enabler. 

 

I also provide executive coaching and mentoring to high-potential talent in corporate, non-profit, financial services and technology environments.
