A little more about me?
I am someone who is responsible and gets stuff done. More importantly, we prioritize stuff getting done that takes you closer to your goals…and you are no longer alone in your business decisions.
According to Gallup’s Strengths Finder assessment, I lead with:
- Responsibility
- Achiever
I am a strategic thinker who gets things done. According to Kolbe, I am strong with FactFinder. I look at the information and we make decisions based on the numbers, results, and your strengths and natural genius.
I am a manager of systems and processes, and I can make strategic improvements to yield better results. I am NOT spontaneous, and while I can jump in for those fire-fighting moments in business, at the first chance to look up, we will get back to strategic direction for positive results.
The Personal Side
I love old homes. Old homes have so much character, and you can’t help but be filled with wonder about the stories they’ve seen, and what they will see in the future. Sometimes, when I see a particularly unique old home, I have an urge to sit with a glass of wine and imagine. Imagine all these past, present, and future stories that live within the walls. I take this approach to businesses and people, too. All companies and people have a story, and I want to understand their past, present, and help them have a vision for their future. I want to understand what makes them tick and help them pave a path to the future.
