Camille 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.
