Cultivated by great leaders, cultivating great leaders.Identifying your purpose in life can be difficult, accepting the purpose you didn’t believe was yours can be more difficult. As a decided introvert, I was curious why I kept finding myself in leadership roles, and exceeding the expectations set by myself and others. After more than 20 years of leadership and guidance of People, as well as managing our most precious resource, Humans, I’ve found why these things are my purpose; it’s my passion. There’s nothing I enjoy more than helping others realize their potential, and identifying talents they may not know they have in order to place them in positions in which they will be engaged, excited, and productive. I have found that by devoting energy to an individual in order to remind them that they are an integral part of the team, while working to enhance their work experience, yields abundantly positive results an overwhelming majority of the time. I have covered the spectrum of human resource facets, from payroll to equal opportunity programs, but specializing in training and development and employee relations has been the niche I call home. Developing high performing cross-functional teams, with a concentration in complex organizations has given me all the opportunities for learning (some call them challenges) that I could ask for, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. My extensive background in military operations and the aviation community, and opportunity to exercise my talents on a global scale have left me eager to face the next challenge, by helping others face theirs. I’m ready! Are you?
