As an accomplished senior leader, I was extremely fortunate to build a 35-year career with The Walt Disney Company, helping to shape this prestigious global brand. With direct accountability for multifaceted operations and 100,000+ “cast members”, together we delivered record levels of revenue and profits, developed world class leadership talent, focused on continuous improvement of guest experiences, and drove strategic change to include the integration of physical and digital experiences.In 2015 I retired from Disney and I’m making the most of my leadership experience through contributions to corporate and philanthropic boards. I’m currently on the board of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and Tupperware Brands, as I enjoy working with consumer-facing companies who believe that a great customer experience depends on a great employee experience. They are also dedicated to giving back and making the world a better place.In addition, I truly enjoy and welcome speaking opportunities aimed at leaders who are focused on their own development, customer service, culture building, and change management. During my presentations, I use storytelling and Q&A dialogue to share my career journey and lessons learned. With a passion for developing leaders, I derive great satisfaction from empowering high potential talent to become the best possible version of themselves. I’m interested in mentoring roles for executives and consulting projects on change management initiatives. I’m confident that the wisdom and experiences I share can bring game-changing results.I am a lifelong learner and inspirational leader who is highly motivated to engage in meaningful work that will be of service to others. I believe it is both a responsibility and a privilege to share our experiences in life and leadership, and to pay it forward. As an avid collector of inspirational quotes, one of my favorites is “leaders don’t force others to follow, they invite them on a journey.” (Charles Lauer)
