The most influential leader in my career…
has been my mom. I watched her work as a food service manager while I was growing up. What I saw was a woman who immigrated to this country and became a U.S. citizen, fought for everything she wanted, out-worked everyone around her, did the work she asked of others, and made a difference in the lives of everyone she had the privilege of leading or serving. Among other things, she taught me work ethic, perseverance, and how to be a servant leader.
One important thing I bring to my clients is…
my decades of experience as a corporate leader.
One career move that was risky or took guts was…
moving my family from Denver to Chicago to take on a new, bigger corporate role. It was a stretch personally and professionally but looking back I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m part of The Boda Group because…
I was a client myself and grew significantly as a leader during that time. Boda coaches challenged my thinking and supported my development with great care and courage. I knew when I left my last corporate role that I wanted to be a part of what Boda creates with their clients.
