QUINCY, MA Megan Marini, founder and principal of Megan Marini Consulting & Training (www.meganmarini.com), has become a Certified Partner of The Predictive Index (PI) (www.predictiveindex.com).

The Predictive Index (PI) is an award-winning talent optimization platform that aligns business strategy with people strategy for optimal business results. The behavioral assessment has been taken by over 25 million people and has been validated by over 350 scientific studies. PI is administered through its certified partners who customize solutions to meet the specific needs of the clients. Some of PI’s 8,000 clients include: Nissan, Subway, Envision, 47 Brand, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Omni Hotels.

Working with leadership, Megan Marini uses data and science to help her clients reduce churn and improve productivity. Marini says, “The mistake most business leaders make is that they conduct yearly planning and then pass along the objectives to the managers and hope things go to plan. Many times people are nodding, while silently saying no. A 2019 study showed that 53% of CEOs who set targets in 2018 didn’t achieve them. The data is clear; getting buy-in from your people is the most important element of your strategy. PI offers my clients a clear competitive advantage by aligning and inspiring the hearts of their people.”

One of Marini’s clients, Nathanial Katz, CSO, of Analgesic Solutions says, “Megan is a unicorn. Her professional talents do not fall within conventional boundaries—speaker, strategist, corporate trainer. Megan is an expert on defining employee roles and dynamics, she deduced in about 5 minutes personnel issues that had dogged me for years. If you’re looking for insight on business expansion strategy, I highly recommend working with Megan.”

Workshops Marini facilitates include: Why Employees Leave, Employee Success Planning for 2020, Building Psychological Safety and Trust, and Having Difficult Conversations. Marini has had the opportunity to speak and train within prestigious companies such as Mendix, Microsoft, Willis Towers Watson, Mind Edge Learning, among others. In addition to being a Certified Predictive Index Partner, she is Corporate Training Certified (CTC), is a Forbes Council Coach 2019, and holds a BFA from Naropa University, a Buddhist Psychology University in Boulder, Colorado.
