“Everything you have done in life has prepared you for this day.” – Author Unknown
For over thirty years, I have had the opportunity to work in the diverse fields of education, technology, environmental services, manufacturing, and agriculture – and to experience business from just about every angle. I have been part of business startups, and I was chosen to serve on the wind-down team of a bankrupt Fortune 500 company.
These combined experiences brought a great deal of insight into business practices – “the good, the bad, and the ugly” so to speak – and served as a real-life business education platform.
My duties have ranged from project management, accounting, HR, legal, administration, and technical support to supporting the executives and Board of a Fortune 500 company to managing a $2.5 million corporate travel program. To my delight, they often included creative projects such as speech writing, design of marketing and communications materials, planning programs and events for small groups up to thousands, and even designing a state-of-the-art fitness center. It has been an interesting diversity that has prepared me for what I do today.
I currently serve as founder of an online school for training of virtual assistants. In addition, I personally assist in the operations of meaningful businesses like Free Agent Academy (www.freeagentacademy.com), Jonathan Pool (www.jonathanpool.net), and My Wired Style / Strength Leader Development (www.mywiredstyle.com / www.strengthleader.com), and serve as project manager for Saddleback Leather (www.saddlebackleather.com) All of these business owners serve a purpose greater than themselves, and it is my delight to assist them in their efforts.
