Welcome

Learning is a never-ending journey. I've learned much from my mentors, from the wise sages in my life. I feel it is important to share and pass along some of what I have learned – and continue to learn. I believe we are all responsible for smoothing the path for those who come after us. And I know that we are all connected and here to support one another.

My purpose is to:

  • Improve organizational effectiveness through individual development
  • Improve individual effectiveness through organizational development

What I Will Remember

It is more important to be interested than interesting.  What is the difference?  When people are interesting, the focus is on them.  When people are interested, the focus is on others. 

Could it be that if people are interested in others that they then become interesting?  I will remember that to be interested in other people, places, and things is a key to living a quality life.

I've heard that the most attractive quality in a potential love interest is how attracted they are to you, haha!
I love this idea; we've talked a lot about it in class. The people that we consider some of the biggest influences in our lives are the people who have invested in us, not the ones who are the most interesting and try to prove it to us. If we think we know it all, then we have no reason to keep going because there's nothing new to learn or experience. Curiosity is a great leadership trait, and growing is really what makes us feel great.
