I am glad you have chosen to visit

I worked for the National Park Service in the United States for 30 years. The last 6 years of my career, I became interested in leadership, feeling there was something missing in the way work and workers were managed. Very top down, bureaucratic, and hierarchical, with a mostly transactional way of working. I had an aha moment taking an unusual leadership course which involved connecting with your personal and work passions. Something clicked, and I thought, this is the necessary ingredient, leadership with heart!. Helping to lift employees up in an organization and support their talents and passions to accomplish amazing and creative ways of working together.

I joined a national grassroots leadership group and learned about employee engagement, organizational network structures, and ways of being a leader that resonated with me strongly, successfully proposed and implemented a project to conduct values assessments for leaders and work groups, with the purpose of building on strengths and identifying areas that are holding them back from success and increased engagement.
