A Deeper Dive . . . In my own words . . .

 

I am a bit of an anomaly, so I’ve come to find. I’m built differently.  While some are left brain operators, and others right brain managers, I survive with a unique balance of both.  As my life evolved – I dabbled in large corporate, small business development, entrepreneurship, volunteerism and non-profits only to draw the conclusion that my ability to tap into my inner creative spunk, flair or knack is the driver of my career enjoyment - so that is what I seek to do. 

But, because I am also a focused, structured and process-driven individual, I find satisfaction in developing strategic plans and executing them in relatively short periods, which allows me to live in a very interesting space.

For me to love what I do, I have to find solutions to obstacles or challenges using creativity as a path.  And, I have to see the solution from idea conception through execution in an expedited fashion (I think I’m allergic to long, drawn-out projects – ugh!). Once I’ve done that – I’m done. I vigorously slap my hands together and walk away.  Someone other than myself will perform the required day-to-day management and maintenance for any campaign I implement, because I am off to do the same exact thing over again for a different project with a different purpose. I move on feeling an immense sense of gratification, personally, while having delivered a strong value statement, professionally.

Exposure to new industries, problems and challenges stimulate my brain and stir something inside me that I relish. Now that I think of it, I’m not sure it’s the projects I love so much – rather, the people who partner with me on these different projects.  The more I’ve come to learn about myself, the more I appreciate continually meeting new people and learning new things. Optimism and positive energy heighten my appreciation for the day.

My not-so-secret ambition

Apart from my professional life as a strategy, marketing and communications consultant, I am a passionate woman of God who seeks to uplift and encourage a younger generation of women.  A secret ambition of mine is to develop a unique motivational workshop that redefines what it means to “win in this life” and cause young ladies to shift their minds from being victims of circumstances to becoming victors over circumstances. 

This summary is not all encompassing. I am a wife, mother of three sons and much more.  Connect with me through the blog or linked in, and get to know more about me.
