advisory & training
Get hands-on help from Marcia Dickerson on leadership development, HR training, and advisory services customized for your needs. From in-person workshops to fractional HR, every engagement is built on practical, repeatable frameworks, so the improvements stay with your team long after the work is done. Ideal for organizations that want hands-on expertise and people practices their managers can actually run.
Leadership Development for Managers
Managers are responsible for as much as 70% of the variation in employee engagement, but most haven't been taught the skills that make the biggest difference: communication, building trust, fairness, giving feedback, maintaining accountability. I design custom programs that combine assessments, real-world scenarios, and structured practice so your managers leave with skills, not just slides.
Engagements take whatever shape fits your team: a single workshop, a retreat, a multi-month cohort, or an ongoing department-level series, in person or remote. I'm also a certified facilitator of The 6 Types of Working Genius, a team productivity assessment that can sharpen your team's insight into their work.

"Marcia is very engaging and energetic. She listens well, explains concepts well, and gives good possible solutions to common HR problems."

HR for Growing Organizations
I work with growing companies and small HR teams on the foundations that hold everything else up: hiring and structured interviews, onboarding, performance feedback, compensation practices, employee handbooks, sexual harassment prevention, and the documentation that protects the organization.
For organizations that want the foundation built fast, I deliver my HR Boot Camp — a focused in-house engagement customized to your specific people and policies. For ongoing needs, I work as a thinking partner through workshops, working sessions, or short build engagements.

HR Professionals, if you're looking for something you can deploy yourself, check out my HR Systems. The library is growing through my Summer of Systems build. Head to that tab to take the quiz to vote on what I build next!
"Marcia's HR Boot Camp was very beneficial for our C-suite members to attend. We gained lots of knowledge about HR laws and policies as well as her personal experience with real-world situations our company encounters every day."

Partner Work
I co-lead Relay Strategic Advisors with Dr. Kirk Ring, where we help executive teams (especially founder-led and family-owned firms) build succession depth through advisory work. Our signature offering is our Succession Planning Audit. This framework addresses both the big picture (mission, vision, and strategy) and the finer details (leader development, capturing institutional knowledge).
We're piloting this with a small cohort of clients in summer 2026. If your succession plan is more "we've had a couple of conversations" rather than "we're executing our plan," message me!
