Someone so talented that their example motivated you and all your teammates to push your boundaries and do your best work on a daily basis? At General Assembly, our inspiration was Carmen James. Carmen began as a colleague, albeit one whose education and experience quickly established her as a thought leader on our team. Combined with her efficiency, skill, and enthusiasm, she immediately rose through the ranks, eventually becoming our team's director. As our manager, Carmen was approachable, responsive, and transparent. She was extremely proactive, establishing new team processes that increased our communication and engagement. She also led parallel efforts to revise materials, standardize workflows, and centralize resources. When our team went through a series of setbacks from personnel turnover, she countered aggressively, stabilizing team dynamics and leading recruitment efforts to return our team to its former size. Through all this, she remained an active coach and empathetic communicator, working with each of us on detailed performance and development plans. In short, Carmen was one of the most fantastic managers I've ever had. Her example pushed all of us to set a higher bar for ourselves, no matter what. I feel extremely lucky to have worked with her and give her my highest recommendation.", and "I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Carmen to build and launch two online learning courses at General Assembly. Carmen is an outstanding leader, extremely adept at keeping complex projects organized and managing a team to ensure they deliver a quality learning experience for students, on time and within budget. She was an advocate for our students, ensuring their feedback was heard and acted upon to improve our product. I admire Carmen’s persistence, she was always able to overcome obstacles,find creative solutions to problems, and seek out the answers needed to keep the project moving forward. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Carmen and believe she would be a valuable asset to absolutely any team."
