About Like many, I wear multiple hats. I work with Vistage Worldwide, a large corporation with 47,000 members around the world. I lead a non-competing peer advisory group of 16 Chief Executives. My background as an HR Director, extensive non-profit board leadership, and adjunct professor - currently teaching courses like ethics, leadership, communication and HR - provides a platform to guide 5 levels in an organization, helping people make better personal, business, and wellness decisions for better lives. Up next, a Vistage Emerging Leaders group, consisting of 'rising stars', those potential leaders in an organization who may have limited management experience. Think a mini-MBA. I will assist in strengthening the organizational bench, coaching their potential into execution. I failed at early retirement and have never enjoyed a role more than the one I am living now. As I help others grow, I flourish.
