What I Learned…

Recently, I shared my experience around what it is like to start a center for innovation. Here is a 7-minute video where I answered some of the following questions or statements:

  • State of mind when starting a center for innovation
  • How have I personally and professionally changed?
  • What encouragement would I give leaders?
  • Words of caution or wisdom

What I Learned…

The past five years have been an incredible journey and roller coaster. As I look back on them, I realized I would not change a thing. If it were not for the good, the bad, and the ugly, I would not be who I am today as a leader or as a person. I have followed my passion and my dreams – and WOW, it is empowering!

What I Will Do…

On this journey, I have learned one thing about me as a person. I have the ability to connect and build relationships and see things in leaders that they may not see in themselves. My mission now as a leader is to equip others with the courage, passion, and resilience to do this thing call INNOVATION!

What Can You Do…

So, what can you do? Take 15 minutes today and think of the one person you can encourage in life or help find their passion. Call them, text them, or write to them!

Share your experience as a word of encouragement.

Share your experience so they may not have to go through the same things you have.

Share your experience to help them get to the next step.  

I would love to share your story on the POWER OF YES in INNOVATION in my upcoming book! Send me an email with your story.

Thank you to Mark McFerron for your creative mind in this video and Brownrygg Woolls for your mad video skills!
