Teacher

Naida has years of experience teaching Lean introductory curricula to personnel from support staff to top leadership. She specializes in short-term introductory courses, ensuring that participants leave the course able to apply the basics of Value Stream Mapping, A3 problem solving, and the basics of Visual Management.

"Naida is a terrific instructor. She uses real stories, frontline experiences to help us understand Lean theory, which by itself can be kind of dry"

--Hospital leader, Lean Introductory Course, Vancouver, BC

"She seems to understand our workplace concerns, and has a great, entertaining way of helping us understand the material."

--Nurse participant, SEIU member, Pittsburgh, PA

"As guest lecturer for my course in Lean Healthcare at Carnegie Mellon University, Naida held the class spellbound as she taught the basics with clear, concise examples. Her conversational and engaging style gave her high class survey results, too."
