What do you like most about your role?
I enjoy the variety of learning, being on the cutting edge, continuous challenges, and helping the client solve their issues.
Which of our values do you most relate to? Why?
“Have Guts.” -Consultants, leaders, everyone really, needs to be self-aware. When the pain becomes greater than the fear, we act. The guts to challenge ourselves and others that ask for our help almost always puts us in a better place.

Be confident, happy, at peace, and serve others – it’s a choice.
What is the biggest mistake you’ve made? What did you learn from the experience?
I left a large consulting firm too early in my career to start my own consulting company. What I learned in 10 years after I left, I could have learned in 3 if I had stayed a few more years with the firm. Timing and team are key.

Backpacking/hiking in the backcountry.

Nature.
