Not a traditional leader.Taking a road less traveled many times leads to the best trips. I have taken a very nontraditional path in my leadership development. While this has at times made my journey more difficult, it has also forged me into a very unique leader. A quote from the Malcolm Gladwell book “Outliers” seemed to resonate with me and my journey. “Outliers are those who have been given opportunities – and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”I strive to improve both Processes and People. I use Lean and Six Sigma philosophies and methodologies to do both. For process improvement I use a very pragmatic approach that focuses on cross functional knowledge, data, facts and organizational experience to help solve problems well beyond my technical expertiseI work as a coach and mentor to individuals who are ready to consciously seek and build their full potential. My team members are individuals who are sincere, conscientious and engaged in their roles and are curious about changing their lives in a bold way.I engage with potential team members who are struggling to reach their potential. I carefully observe them in their work environment during stressful encounters to determine their strengths and opportunities. My strategy is to play to their strengths while challenging them with rigor and belief in their potential. I have the tenacity to sustain this process until they believe in themselves as much as I do.My passion is helping individuals; teams and organizations drive significant change. I have found that my background in quality assurance has equipped me in a unique way to spot patterns in behaviors and processes that if left unchallenged would become destructive to the individual or group. I have the ability to own the moment while developing the future. I am fearless when asking the tough questions or taking on the tough tasks.Let’s build a legacy of significance we can be proud of."Enjoy the Challenge"
