Dr. Baker-Schena’s company is dedicated to filling the education gaps
leaders experience in the workplace. Even when professionals are
promoted based on their skill set, a lack of formal leadership training —
how to manage others, how to deal with conflict, how to work effectively
in a team — can sabotage their chances for success. Without these key
leadership skills, professionals are in danger of remaining stuck. As a
professional speaker and trainer, Dr. Baker-Schena brings both inspiration
and education to clients. Her specialty is helping professionals move their
careers forward with confidence and joy.
