Rebecca Sanchez

Rebecca has over 19 years of experience improving processes, managing projects, and helping people connect. She founded Peopleside in 2014 to work with clients to help them get stuff done in a way that meets their culture and meets them where they’re at. As an educator and coach at Peopleside, Rebecca partners with organizations to help solve complex business problems through:

• Determining organizational goals and defining projects that will meet them
• Defining and measuring success throughout the life of a project
• Gaining buy-in throughout your organization
• Leveraging ambiguity in your project messaging
• Getting projects to stick after they go live
• Identifying waste in the organization in order to create structures for effective use of resources (e.g., time, people, money)

A dynamic speaker who draws energy from being in front of groups, Rebecca learned from an early age that the stage was her happy place and she spent much of her childhood and young adult years in theater productions. She pulls from her lived experience as a granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, cancer survivor, female small-business owner, and #FibroWarrior to bring a unique perspective to her keynotes and workshops. Prioritizing audience connection and involvement in all her presentations – whether in-person or virtual – Rebeccas’s belief is that you’re not just here to listen to her; you’re here to learn something about YOU. Audiences leave with action items and next steps they can implement in their own lives!

Rebecca studied Human Resource and Change Leadership at University of St. Thomas and Business Education at the University of Minnesota. Rebecca is PMP, CSM, CCMP, and Prosci certified.
