I'm Dr. Maurine Kwende
My name is Dr. Maurine Kwende, founder of the DBBA. I have over 20 years of experience in learning and development, human resource development, leadership, coaching, strategic planning, scrum, and agile project management. I have a Ph.D. in learning Technologies Design Research from George Mason University. (Click here for my full bio to learn more)
Many years ago, I was promoted to a leadership position without any training yet expected to lead. How can new leaders and first-time managers lead effectively without proper training? No wonder I struggled and failed at it; best, I was a positional leader. It took me over 20 years of trial and error and failure to learn from it, and now I have used my experiences and expertise to create offerings/services to help you succeed. You don’t have to waste resources trying to figure it out like I did. Allow me help you. Select the links below to learn more about our services:
