Who We Are

Jean Baumann Organizational Development Consultant

I have been in business since 1985, both as a manager in a Fortune 100 corporation for ten years and then as the owner of Present Dynamics, Inc. As a consultant, coach, facilitator and trainer, I bring a neutral third party perspective while also being fully engaged in your journey. I help leaders and teams align around a clear vision, define measurable goals, commit to achievable strategies, and charter and implement tactical plans and change initiatives. In 2007, I re-discovered my personal passion for global issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, and endangered species. I spent most of that year as a volunteer presenter with The Climate Project. I tap into this experience to bring additional value to clients wanting to create more sustainable business practices.

While earning my first master's degree and working as a manager for a telecommunications company, I built my expertise as a marketing strategist, product developer, and a process improvement facilitator. Since obtaining another master's in applied behavioral science while building my consulting firm ~ Present Dynamics, Inc. ~ I provide a wide range of organizational development services that integrate addressing the human side of organizational change while achieving organizational goals. These service areas include:

• Executive coaching, leadership development, and team development
• Work culture assessment and work culture transformation
• Strategic planning, and sustainability training and planning
• Process mapping, process redesign training, and team chartering
• Change management coaching and training
• Conflict management training and conflict mediation
• Custom meeting design and meeting facilitation

Using these disciplines, I assist leaders and organizations on the challenging journey toward reaching their goals, including the increasingly important triple bottom line ~ a healthy environment, an equitable society, and a vital economy.

The northwestern United States has been my home since 1988 when I fell in love with its yearlong beauty. I am a ballroom dancer, and enjoy social dancing just as much as competing in a floor-length, bead-speckled gown.
