Sheryl Goodman Email and Phone Number

I spent 34 years working in a Department of Energy Lab in several arenas, including finance, operations and human resources. I was able to reinvent myself many times over the years, which allowed me to grow and learn in ways I never thought possible. At one point I was seeking to "wake up" my brain and decided to pursue a MBA degree, with support from my employer. It was the best thing I ever did. I gained knowledge and confidence and was rewarded by my employer through promotions and salary increases.For 18 of the 34 years, I was fortunate enough to share my job with another person. We each worked 50% time, fully sharing one full-time job. The first leader to give us a chance at this unique working arrangement was himself a medical doctor and Ph.D biologist. He regarded our job share as a "social experiment" which he later deemed to have been extremely successful. As a team, we were able to move up in the ranks in several different organizations, a feat that would not have been possible were we only working as 2 part-time people. It also enabled each of us to spend valuable time at home with our families, a gift for which I will always be grateful.As a team, we received national recognition from the Wall Street Journal and a PBS show, as well as another syndicated program. We were fortunate enough to have been part of the Human Genome Project while at LLNL, whose part was to sequence Chromosome 19.
