Communication Workshop: Enhancing Your Presentation Skills

Rhea Waldman

Rhea is MaxStrat’s resident Happiness and Innovation Architect, where she blends strategy, science, and just the right amount of sparkle to help organizations thrive. With over 8 years of experience turning big ideas into real-world impact, Rhea is a master of guiding teams through growth spurts, operational transformations, and community-powered change.

Equal parts scientist and strategist, she brings a research-informed mindset to every brainstorm and boardroom, crafting smart solutions with heart. Whether she’s building client relationships or plotting out visionary plans, Rhea’s mission is simple: help people and organizations become the best versions of themselves.

Before joining MaxStrat, she led the South Dakota Discovery Center as Executive Director, where she steered the ship through exciting transformations and helped expand its role as a beloved hub for curiosity and learning.

When she’s not architecting happiness at work, you’ll find Rhea exploring the great outdoors—hiking across prairies, paddling down rivers, and chasing the kind of inspiration only wilderness can offer. She’s a lifelong learner, enthusiastic educator, and passionate believer in the power of joyful leadership.
