Brandi Riggs, Marketing Specialist
Time Warner Cable
2006 MSOD graduate
While working as a sales manager for T-Mobile USA, Brandi Riggs says she harbored a growing fascination with the psychology of business and seized the opportunity to go back to school. Most programs, however, stressed industrial psychology.
“Then I discovered Avila Advantage’s new organizational development program. Its marriage of business and psychology; its unique skill set with broader employer appeal; and the conveniently flexible scheduling fit perfectly with my time and interests.”
Brandi worked full-time, was able to spend quality time with her toddler and family, and still completed her Master of Science in Organizational Development (MSOD) quickly. The program was an eye-opening experience.
“The program’s new perspective on individual and group dynamics was especially influential. I came away not just with knowledge and skills—but a new way to view the world. I now have the discipline to stand back and access a situation or problem before acting. It is refreshing to know I can make a difference.”
MSOD, new perspective and skills in hand, Brandi landed a position with Time Warner Cable as a Marketing Specialist, doing B2B partner training and networking for new business.
“My TWC position demands special insight into organizational dynamics—an understanding of what motivates individuals and teams, and the ability to organize, develop, and facilitate training. Avila has given me the skills to capitalize on that understanding and effectively create relationships.
“I now feel my career is limitless. Everywhere I look I see areas in which to contribute. It is almost overwhelming!”
Avila’s Advantage’s MSOD program understands managing change and creates programs that fit your busy schedules and the needs of the current marketplace.
