About

As a teenager just entering the workforce, Megan Rounds, Ed.D, HSDP, SPHR, GPHR dreamt of a world where work was fun to the point where the word “work” no longer applied, where people loved what they did, did what they loved, and were appreciated and rewarded accordingly.

Being the adventurous, free-spirited, idealist type, she pursued an informal education through living in multiple states within the US, traveling to over 16 countries and working in a multitude of very diverse jobs along the way before landing in her first professional career in Human Resources.

In her various jobs, Megan observed the dramatic effects that work culture, and different approaches to change, had on the morale and productivity of employees (including her own). In her professional roles, where she worked in non-profit, government and for-profit organizations, Megan applied what she’d learned in her earlier experiences, specifically with reference to how organization culture and change linked to individual and corporate performance. She also completed her formal education (BA in HR Management, MA in Organization Management, and EdD in Organization Development) and, in 2005, formed her consulting company, perculcha, LLC, with a focus on, surprise, surprise, per~formance through vitality, cul~ture through intention and cha~nge through awareness.

Many of Megan’s observations were further supported through her doctoral research, which focused on differences in values between employees and their foreign employers. This research resulted in a cultural transition model that identified the necessary components for a smooth transition into a new culture, and is the foundation of perculcha’s transition and coaching philosophy.

During her work with the Human Systems Dynamics Institute Megan discovered tools and concepts that were highly influential in the creation of her Change Reactions Model, which defines the foundation for the perculcha approach to performance, culture and change.
