About Trisha
I help leaders get heard, and help businesses run on purpose, not panic. I’m a business consultant and SHRM-SCP instructor who turns messy, real-world challenges into clear strategy you can execute on Monday morning. Yes, I speak HR. I also speak P&L, operations, and change. As CEO of Efficient Edge, I advise owners and executives across strategy, systems, and people—centralizing processes, sharpening accountability, and building leaders who actually lead. My toolkit is the SHRM Competency Model, but I use it far beyond HR: decision-making, business acumen, relationship management, ethics, coaching, analytics. In plain English: I align people, process, and profit so the work—and the culture—scale together. Onstage and in the classroom, I’m the instructor who ditches jargon and gets to the “do this next” part. In advisory rooms, I’m the operator’s ally: compliance that enables growth, not handcuffs it. Clients call me when they need to stabilize the now and architect the next. I’m also the voice behind UnMuted Leader™—a movement (and book) for anyone who’s been overlooked or talked over. We trade silence for strategic clarity, timid presence for unapologetic impact. If you’ve ever been told to “tone it down,” bring your full voice. I’ll bring a plan. What I’m known for Translating complexity into simple playbooks leaders can use immediately. Coaching managers to manage—confidently, consistently, measurably. Building systems that tie culture to outcomes: fewer fires, more throughput. Signature topics Unmuted leadership • Strategic HR that scales • Manager enablement • Multi-location operations • California HR without the headaches • Investigations & workplace civility • Speaking so people listen Off the mic Morning prep, strong coffee, and braver conversations. I believe clarity is kind—and execution is love in action for your business.
