Nalani Genser
Speaker & coach focused on creating energy-giving relationships with work.
Show Notes:
Culture is not drinks on a Friday night. It’s how we treat each other every day. – Nalani Genser
Nalani Genser is deeply passionate about building and shaping experiences that infiltrate and affect our daily lives, particularly the relationship between our experience at work and our well-being as individuals.
With extensive experience in consulting, business strategy, and experience design Nalani brings a people-first lens to building and scaling teams and organizations that push themselves to constantly refine and evolve.
Currently, Nalani is Director of People Experience at Mavrck, a Boston-based influencer marketing start-up. Her work at Mavrck covers the entire employee journey – from cultivating values alignment, to recruiting and onboarding experiences, to coaching, to overseeing Mavrck’s offices and IT systems and beyond.
If something touches a squad members’ experience before, during, or after working at Mavrck, she probably has a hand in it. When not thinking about well-being in the workplace, you might find Nalani learning how to bake, taking a boxing class, or getting crafty with a hands-on project.
