Tiffany Hall's path to enterprise project leadership started on a theater stage, managing a 60-person crew through fast-paced ensemble numbers and scene changes. That same instinct for keeping people and moving parts on cue has carried through every role since.

Over the past 7+ years, she's grown from coordinating tort claims investigations to leading enterprise-wide initiatives as an IT Business Systems Analyst Coordinator at the Nebraska State Patrol, including a ground-up rebuild of a statewide background check system handling sensitive CJIS and PII data, and a workforce management migration touching 750 employees. She's always believed the best systems are the ones people barely notice, because they just work.

Tiffany speaks on business analysis, curiosity-driven problem solving, and practical project leadership, drawing on lessons from theater, law, and enterprise IT alike. She's presented at the UKG Aspire Conference, Nebraska.Code(), and the Scenic City Summit Tech Conference, and holds a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt along with certifications in UKG Pro Workforce Management.

Hello there, I’m a Solution Engineer at Microsoft, working with data, analytics, and AI platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Microsoft Foundry.

Outside of work, I enjoy collecting vinyl records, analog photography, and exploring creative ways to blend technology and art.

15x certified Microsoft Expert and MCT with 5 years of experience in Microsoft technologies.

I have a software background: I’ve worked in several companies and co-founded a start-up. For over 10 years, I worked as a Product Owner, partnering closely with teams and stakeholders to turn complex needs into sustainable solutions—balancing technical constraints, user experience, and business goals.

Over time, my focus shifted from “what we build” to “how we work together”. Very often, the real bottleneck isn’t strategy, but conversations, priorities, dependencies, and decision quality. Today I support individuals, teams, and organisations as an ICF coach, facilitator, and trainer. My approach is practical and non-judgemental: I help make visible what often remains implicit (flows, friction, decisions, responsibilities) and turn it into achievable, sustainable steps.

My work typically falls into three areas:

* Conversations that make a difference**: feedback and difficult conversations, with a focus on emotional intelligence at work, to improve collaboration, psychological safety, and shared accountability.
* People, behaviours, and organisational risk**: noticing weak signals in the organisation and exploring how leadership, delegation, and transparency affect prevention, reputation, and retention.
* Organisations that can navigate complexity**: building continuity between decisions and action, clarifying priorities, and making work flows clearer and more sustainable—using continuous improvement and transparency to look ahead and learn from experience.

When it helps, I also run facilitated workshops (e.g., LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Event Storming) to build shared understanding and turn it into concrete choices. My goal is to help people and organisations pursue ambitious outcomes without jargon—through clarity, respect for company culture, and a sustainable pace of improvement.
