Since 2001, Katharine Giacalone, President of KGWorks, www.kgworks.com, has managed a successful management consulting firm based in the Washington, DC area.  Dubbed The Corporate Nanny™, www.thecorporatenanny.net, she takes a common sense approach to management and tells it like it is for businesses of all sizes.  She has more than 25 years of experience in providing strategic solutions that produce measurable results for her clients - who range from biotech companies and real estate investment trusts to large public school districts.

In 2009, Ms. Giacalone published a fresh, inspirational and humorous new book, Oops! I'm The Manager! Getting Past "What Do I Do Now?!" in 5 Easy Steps, which serves as a valuable resource to people who are suddenly thrown into management and find themselves without the necessary training.

Ms. Giacalone received the Master of Science degree in Organization Development from the Johns Hopkins University.  She is a contributor to major trade journals such as The Washington Business Journal, HR Magazine, a SHRM publication, Training Magazine, T+D Magazine, an ASTD publication and Perspectives Magazine.
