BEST CAREER MOMENT SO FAR
Over my 40-year career, the best career moments for me can be summed up by helping mentor and grow others to be the best version of themselves while creating value for the company and the clients that they serve.
A SKILL I NEVER EXPECTED TO USE IN THIS FIELD
Delegation. Always eager to do my own work and manage my own projects, but to gain success in your career, you have to know how and when to delegate.
LESSON I LEARNED THE HARD WAY
Winning isn’t everything. Never let hard lessons harden your heart. The hard lessons of life are meant to make you better, not bitter.
MY FIRST JOB AND WHAT IT TAUGHT ME
My first job out of college was in sales. It taught me to always remember that we are there to serve the customer, and a strong listener is always a better communicator.
ONE PRACTICE I USE TO MAINTAIN MY MENTAL HEALTH
Regular mind meditation on a daily basis, along with a healthy dose of not sweating the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff).
