About Us

Alicia R McLain
Executive & Leadership Coach, EverythingDiSC Facilitator

I am a professional coach and I work with organizational leaders to build cultures of accountability.

I do this by connecting people, teams and organizations to their vision for agility. I connect individuals to teams, teams to organizations, and organizations to their mission, vision and positive core. I have a sense about organizational systems and how people relate and thrive in them. I use EverythingDisc as a way to establish a foundation of awareness for individuals, teams & organizations.

The name of my company, Operational Innovations, came from my vision of operational excellence. I believe the systems in which we work should support, not impede. Sometimes a second set of eyes can help us see the things we need to see. Or sometimes a skilled coach can help us find the answers we've been seeking. I have a keen sense for spotting and eliminating waste in organizations.

It is my mission to (re)connect leaders to their vision, to build agility, develop high performing teams and to create organizations and cultures where people want to work!

I am an executive and leadership coach, a learning facilitator and public speaker.

  • Everything DiSC® Team Reboot

    Working agreements are the deliberate practice of high performing teams. And crafting, updating and operationalizing them are the keys to success. A team that has and honors their working agreements has a foundation upon which to build trust and minimize mis-understanding, mis-communication and mitigate negative conflict.

    So, why don't all teams have them?

    It can be hard to know how to get started with facilitating this important working session with your team. The Everything DiSC® Team Reboot is your key to getting the conversation started around what's important to the individuals that make up your team and a way to uncover what's important for developing into a high performing team!
