Leadership and team building have always been my passion. Growing up on a working farm, I
participated in 4-H, team sports, championship equestrian competitions, and student government association. Eventually, I became a Master of Strategic Leadership. Throughout my life, I have been either led or leading. I have always been inspired by the synergy and the outcomes possible when a team excels through collective motivation. I am also intrigued by less desirable outcomes and feel compelled to make a change among teams that are struggling and not in sync.
Throughout my 35-year professional career, I have led numerous small businesses. I have honed exceptional leadership and team-building skills. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping small businesses thrive by aligning teams with organizational goals, fostering a culture of engagement, and driving productivity.
I have succeeded in navigating the complexities of limited resources, particularly in underserved and geographically isolated locations. My experience has taught me how to maximize efficiency and innovation, ensuring that small businesses can flourish even in challenging environments.
My goal is to empower small businesses to overcome obstacles and achieve full potential. My unique background and extensive experience enable me to relate to the challenges faced by small business owners. I offer effective, cost-saving fractional service solutions designed to drive success for your business.
Thoughtful and Compassionate Leadership
In today’s rapidly evolving workforce, leaders are increasingly required to navigate complex and dynamic environments with thoughtfulness and compassion. The traditional command-and-control leadership style is yielding to a more empathetic and inclusive approach, where understanding and addressing the diverse needs of employees is paramount.
Leaders must cultivate a culture of trust and psychological safety, where team members feel valued and heard. By leading with compassion, leaders can foster a sense of belonging and engagement, which in turn drives productivity and innovation. Thoughtful leadership involves actively listening, being present, and demonstrating genuine care for the well-being of employees. This approach not only enhances employee satisfaction and retention but also contributes to the overall success and resilience of the organization.
This leadership style has brought me great success and fulfillment throughout my career. I welcome the opportunity to share my experiences and growth as a leader and team builder.
