Smith Camille
combines her business experience in start-ups and Fortune 100
companies with her exceptional skills as a communicator and management
consultant to teach people to transform what’s possible.
Her unwavering commitment to unleash people’s potential
and bring humanity to the workplace distinguishes her relationships
and rewards clients, individuals and organizations alike, with
outstanding business results and the capacity to create and realize
new futures. Camille’s
20+ years of experience in training and |
| development
include six years as an international organizational
consultant, successfully transforming corporate
cultures of Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Guinness
Brewing Worldwide, NutraSweet and Campbell’s Soup. With a vigilance
to produce measurable results and to increase each and every person’s
effectiveness, she effectively coached project teams to double revenues
that kept a plant from closing, reduce defective products by 80% in
6 months, reduce labor grievances by 75% in 8 months, and cut time-to-market
by 50%. She worked ten years for an international training organization
as vice president of international operations, customer relationship
manager and workshop leader training thousands around the world in
practices
of productivity and teamwork. Before
founding Work In Progress Coaching, Camille spent seven years in
high-tech, including two software
startups with accountabilities in operations, product marketing,
sales and client management, and in Nokia’s network security
division as a product marketing manager. At
the heart of her effectiveness is her ability to design and facilitate
strategic
conversations and
create an environment of possibility, communication and personal
accountability that lead to breakthroughs in results. Work In Progress
Coaching names not only her company but her personal intention: “Each
of us is a ‘work in progress’ — experimenting,
evolving, figuring out day-by-day how to contribute, be fully expressed
and produce results worthy of who we are.” Every offering,
from leadership programs, executive coaching, team workshops, facilitation
of strategic conversations to public speaking embodies her intention. Camille
received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The
Ohio State University and is a certified DecisionReady™ Solutions
Provider. As an adjunct professor, she teaches business leadership
at Santa Clara University where she is also a founding leader and
faculty of the Global Women's Leadership Network. She serves on
the Advisory Committee for the Marina Technology Cluster and is
a member of the Santa Cruz Chamber Women in Business committee.
She mines opals, combs the beach for sea glass, laughs loudly,
writes poetry and readily admits to carrying her own soapbox.
