A Day in Your Life: Filoli’s People Development Manager
Imagine starting your morning facilitating a leadership development workshop in the Ballroom, where Filoli's managers practice coaching conversations using the SDI Core Strengths methodology. After lunch on the terrace overlooking the historic gardens, you're crafting the monthly P&C newsletter—turning policy updates into engaging stories that staff actually want to read.
In the afternoon, you're meeting with a new department head to customize their team's onboarding plan, then jumping into Monday.com to track progress on three simultaneous projects: the annual performance review rollout, a guest service training series, and planning our spring employee engagement event. You'll close the day analyzing survey data from last month's new hire cohort, identifying what's working and what needs refinement.
You'll work independently while staying closely connected to our collaborative 5-person P&C team. Some days you're deep in strategy and planning; others you're energizing a room of 30 staff members during an all-hands training. The variety keeps it interesting, and the National Historic Landmark setting doesn't hurt either.
