Betsey Dalbeck
Senior Consultant
Betsey Dalbeck has more than 20 years of experience in developing executives into vision leaders and creating self-organized, self-managed teams focused on driving organizational goals. She has vast experience managing the difficult challenges of running an organization and rallying staff behind a vision and aggressive goals. At Mage, Betsey will utilize this firsthand experience to help executives achieve meaningful and successful growth as well as drive organization-wide change with minimal angst.
Prior to joining the Mage team, Betsey was founder and President of Fresh Tracks, Inc., a management consulting and executive coaching firm. She founded Fresh Tracks, Inc. to follow her own life path and partner with executives looking to successfully transform themselves or their organizations. Fresh Tracks offered consulting solutions, vision alignment assessments, leadership development training, and personal and corporate executive coaching to CEOs, presidents, business owners, and managers of corporate business units. Clients ranged in both size and scope from financial giants like Fidelity Investments to entrepreneurial think-tanks like Babson College. Betsey's industry experience spans several sectors including consumer products, education, financial services, high tech, marketing communications, and nonprofits.
Before founding Fresh Tracks, Betsey held management positions with several top advertising agencies: DDB Needham, Leo Burnett, J. Walter Thompson, and Hill/Holliday. There she gained functional experience in strategic planning, marketing, operations, business development, recruiting, organizational training & development and change management.
Fueling her change agent success is her training in wilderness leadership. In fact, Betsey took a mid-career hiatus to drive and camp solo across North America and up to Alaska to study with the National Outdoor Leadership School. Betsey is also a graduate of Outward Bound and currently sits on both schools' Advisory Councils. In addition to her advisory council work, she sits on the board of Outdoor Explorations, conducts leadership training workshops for the Appalachian Mountain Club, and facilitates corporate Outward Bound programs. Betsey credits her wilderness leadership training with deepening her understanding and respect for true leadership effectiveness.
Betsey graduated from Simmons College and completed coursework at Harvard and M.I.T. Her professional training includes workshops in Center for Creative Leadership's Benchmarks® Certification, Open Space Technology, Newfield Network's New Language of Leadership, Outward Bound Professional National Facilitator Training, DISC and Myers-Briggs personality profiling.
