About
We journey through some of the most impactful lessons I’ve learned over my 40-plus-year career, thanks to five remarkable men who shaped my path. From the unwavering core values of Austin Swallow to the employee-centric approach of Randy Nipps, and from the empowering challenges posed by Gary Brown to the innovative insights of Brian Carr and Jim Kiser, each of these men has contributed to my growth in unique and invaluable ways. I'll share how their belief in my potential pushed me beyond my comfort zone and helped me achieve success both personally and professionally. Let's recognize the importance of recognizing and nurturing your core beliefs, valuing employee potential, and tapping into diverse skill sets. But, perhaps the most crucial lesson learned is the one from within: learning to see and believe in your potential. "Don't let someone else see what you need to be.
