I have worked in the field of Upper Field Retail Management for over 20 years, moving progressively from Asst Manager to Regional Management. I am experienced in driving a business, influencing business partners, providing the best in both internal and external customer service. My specialized training in creating and implementing tools used to develop an effective team, has given me a skill set valuable to any organization. I also have experience in working on a virtual team with people who are located around the world, giving me a different level of perspective on the impact one person can have to a global function. I am a skilled facilitator and trainer with my professional L&D background coupled with my educational background of public speaking. This gives me the ability to speak in front of people or groups with ease. Strong verbal and written communication skills utilized both formally and informally give me the ability to motivate, influence, and inspire change in behaviors. This enables me to sell both product and ideas, and helps to galvanize a team around a concept and move the needle on results.
