>>SARAH: 0:00:00.320,0:00:05.438 My PFW psychology degree is making a difference in the world of business. [Music] 0:00:08.000,0:00:11.640 After earning my master's in industrial-organizational psychology, 0:00:11.640,0:00:16.480 it's basically the study of how people behave and get along with each other at work, I worked 0:00:16.480,0:00:21.440 in several human resources departments like leadership development, talent management, and I 0:00:21.440,0:00:27.080 was also a human resources business partner – that one was my favorite! I got to learn from inside 0:00:27.080,0:00:33.080 the company walls how people behave and what makes them successful or unsuccessful at work. 0:00:33.080,0:00:38.200 I recently started my own consulting company where I help other companies deal with big changes, 0:00:38.200,0:00:43.600 and support the leaders as they solve problems and make decisions. It’s like being a doctor, 0:00:43.600,0:00:48.000 but instead of fixing bodies, I do check-ups, diagnose what’s going on, 0:00:48.000,0:00:53.160 and help people work together in better ways. I often use what I learned at PFW when I’m working 0:00:53.160,0:00:57.760 with business leaders. They might want to improve their communication style or decision-making 0:00:57.760,0:01:04.440 process. I’m there to help them break that skill into smaller, easier steps. They try things out, 0:01:04.440,0:01:10.840 see what works and what doesn't, and I adjust my support as they go. It's like being their coach, 0:01:10.840,0:01:15.297 cheering them on along the way and helping them avoid making the same mistakes twice.
