WHAT DOES WOMAN OF VALUE MEAN TO YOU?
We are inherently valuable from the beginning of life. We’re connected to nature.
YOUR ‘AHA’ WOMAN OF VALUE MOMENT OF BRINGING HUMANITY BACK TO THE WORKPLACE
One that was pivotal was getting my grad degree in my forties. I realized I needed to shift directions. My kids were getting older and my marriage was not doing well. I had been so focused on everyone else and not my group. I wanted to prioritize myself and my career.
I got my masters degree in organizational science. I wanted to understand the research of organizations. I learned to help people with change.
Always lean into community to support you through change and hard decisions.
Humanity in the Workplace: the workplace asks us to separate the personal from the professional, and it’s not healthy to disassociate the two. There’s a need to see people as human with human needs.
THE PRESENT
I started my consulting business during the pandemic. I work in Human Resources on the strategy side. I also work in the pay equity space, helping organizations think that through. And I coach and train and have my own products.
THE FUTURE
My kids are going to be graduating high school, so I’ll have an empty nest. In three years, I’ve worked with over fifty clients. I’m excited about the organizations and conversations about humanity and pay equity.
THE LIGHTNING ROUND
I used to think I wasn’t skinny enough.
What was the #1 thing holding you back from becoming a woman
of value? Understanding how to change the messages in my head and create new tapes.
What’s the best advice you can give to a woman who wants to
become more empowered? Be in community with women you admire and bring out the best in you.
What advice would you give to your younger self? You are perfect. A masterpiece at every stage of life.
What’s something people get wrong about you? I have it all together all the time and never am insecure.
How would you like to be remembered? That I brought more kindness into the world.
