BIOGRAPHY

 

My name is Katie Manar, I spent twelve years at a large corporation where I was in charge of strategic planning, managed a team of 14 professional staff; developed, documented, and implemented business processes; facilitated corporate-wide projects; created new job descriptions and career-pathing opportunities for staff; taught teams to succeed at building relationships with customers and each other; developed training and education programs; and worked on division-wide process improvement projects. I have additional background in sales, marketing and service.

In addition to my consulting work, I do public speaking on Business Efficiencies, The Power of Perfomance Appraisals, HR Policy Development, and on my personal story of Finding Work/Life Balance.  I also co-founded a women's retreat called "It's About Time For You" which helps women focus on hearing their inner voice and taking time for themselves.

I hold a B.A. degree from the College of St. Catherine and 34 credits toward my Masters in Management degree.

My husband and I are actively involved with our children Jake & Emily, our golden retriever, Meghan, and in the St. Cloud community through our church, The United Way of Central Minnesota and Catholic Charities.
