NBMBAA: What do you like best about your current role/organization?
INITIAL:I have been in the Human Resource and Staffing field for 22 years. For the past 8 years, I have been blessed and honored to have the opportunity to work under my own umbrella as an HR Consultant and Executive Recruitment Resource to a variety of industry clients to include behavioral health, retail, financial services, investments, manufacturing, logistics and many others. I love what I do, as it provides me with the best of both worlds....doing what I love most and being my own boss. I have the opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful clients and employees and to develop long term, rewarding relationships in a field that I am passionate about. Who could ask for anything more?
NBMBAA: Best advice you've received/favorite quote/personal mantra?
INITIAL: "There, but for the grace of God, go I". I realized long ago that I have no extraordinary special skills that have allowed me to be successful. I am just granted the opportunity and blessings to be able to be the best me that I can be. I strive to treat others like I want to be treated; I believe that doing the right thing always outweighs all else; and I work to help others succeed when within my power to do so.
NBMBAA: Thoughts on leadership and success?
INITIAL:I was reading a recent article in Inc. by Matthew Salyers where he stated that "Great leaders can lead many to accomplishments above what they themselves thought possible and in turn, to levels of success above and beyond what the individualist will ever accomplish".
I believe that exceptional Leaders have the ability to Inspire, Motivate, Teach, Direct, Plan, Act and Lead. They face issues head on and are always of the belief that there is a solution to every problem.
NBMBAA: Three words/phrases that describe you with a description as to why you picked those words/phrases.
INITIAL:Committed - Perseverance - Humble
I am a true believer in the philosophy that if you keep pushing forward, stay committed to your goal, and realize that any success that you attain always comes because of the assistance of others, good things will surely flow your direction.
NBMBAA: What are you reading right now/listening to on your MP3?
INITIAL:I am currently reading "The Daily Drucker" by Peter Drucker, and listening to Jaheim, Najee, David Sanborn and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
