My Professional Philosophy

Building the ‘airplane’ while leaving the ‘runway’

Feel the fear.

Do it anyway.

 

Learn how to build it – and build it with such innovation that pilots are an afterthought.

Any fool can have courage. But honor, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you are and maybe who you want to be.”

Michael Oher, The Blind Side

Do it scared.

The best opportunities I have been blessed with are the ones I did not fully comprehend in the beginning. Simply put, I most often thrived when there was no process and I built something innovative while learning how to use the tools to make it happen.

A great example of this part of my background is an automated workflow I created in Power Automate while learning how to use the platform.

Understand the ‘why’.

Customers and employees are why strategy is critical to long term success.

“In my experience, the best leaders are the ones who understand the impact of real human connection.”
