Personal Values

I believe in honesty and integrity; in practicing what you preach. I’m a straight shooter and I don’t beat around the bush, but I’ve also got a good sense of humor. I highly value listening as the best way to learn about others and a situation. I’m a highly disciplined individual and an independent thinker. I seek the best possible solutions and expect nothing less than excellence from myself and others.


I’ve survived culture shock—many times. I understand how cultural differences and experiences can impact a business and how they can be leveraged to unite rather than divide. I am passionate about helping others develop and foster successful global cultures within their organizations.

 

As a mentor, teacher, and advisor, I believe that no matter our positions or titles, we each have areas of knowledge and experience yet to explore. I am eager to share the lessons I’ve learned and the tools I’ve developed with others who desire to make a positive impact on their teams and organizations.

 

We are only on this tiny planet for a short while. Take a risk. Reach out. There are so many who are willing to support you.
