Hello, there! I’m Cassandra. Rochelle and I are pleased to present to you InBiteSize. Before we get into the nitty gritty of the world of transformation, we figured it would be a good idea for you to get to know us. That way you know where we’re coming from and have the context to apply our tools of the trade to your own world. In fact, as Brené Brown, one of my favorite authors, puts it, “Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experience.” We are here to give you a glimpse into our hearts so that we can connect with you well beyond the words typed onto these pages.
So first, why should you read our blog?
- We’re cool people.
- We’ve been in the field.
- We’re secretly lazy inside.
We’re cool people.
Need someone to join you on the dance floor? Sing a duet with you on karaoke night? Break the awkward silence with the most work appropriate joke? Meet Rochelle Tan. Frankly, she is able to balance this all, while still managing a busy household and herding her various clients. Plus, she has also been a Yelp Elite since 2015, so she’s an expert on giving you just the right amount of information to help you move forward.
Personally, I excel at giving you the most maximist travel itinerary and thinking of the most creative way of engaging folks at work. I promise you that I’m not bragging. My Paris, France google map has been viewed over 200+ times. (Just leave a comment if you’re interested in seeing it. I also have one for Portland, London, and the various Hawaiiian islands).
Also, some of my favorite compliments from work include, “You should host your own game show,” and “I didn’t think we would be able to plan for all the requirements and have fun at the same time.” My philosophy is that if I’m going to be working for eight hours and facilitating all of your ceremonies and workshops, it better be at least worth my time if not yours, too.
We’ve been in the field.
Now on to the serious portion of this post… Rochelle and I met back in 2019. During that time, our company learned that they did not want to be in the business of running data centers. Therefore, they quickly formed tiger teams to figure out how we could move to the cloud. Through trial and error and a bit of coaching, we partnered with other thought leaders to build a successful blueprint that could be adapted to fit the unique needs of each of our teams.
Beyond that, Rochelle and I have 30+ years of combined experience. We have been in a number of different industries ranging from Energy to Gaming to BioTech and in a number of different roles from Business Analysts to Digital Consultants to Agile Coaches and beyond. In each of these roles, we have formed and led coalitions of change agents to drive meaningful change throughout our organizations. We focus on meeting folks where they are, whether they are just starting out on their own evolution or cultivating an environment where their teams can thrive.
And finally, we’re secretly lazy, we mean, highly effective people.
Rochelle has two tweens to juggle, and I’m the godmother of a French bulldog named Mr. Darcy. Between balancing her kids’ hockey schedules and me trying to eat and hike my way through the Bay–along with trying to buy a house and plan a wedding– there is sometimes not enough time in the day, or week, to get things done. We get it. Instead of sifting through books, attending days-long conferences, and finding the right energizer for your next virtual meeting, we are here to give you the best information in bite sized chunks.
So that’s it. That’s why we are here. We truly appreciate you stopping by and joining us on our journey. As you leave us today, here is something for you to ponder, “We are born makers. We move what we’re learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands.” So, what are you interested in shaping with us?
