Personal epiphanies:
- I’m an innovator, not an inventor.
- I’m a problem solver with a strong desire to execute.
- I hope to be perceived as a leader, not a manager.
- I value trust in my relationships more than tenure.
Two quotes I have based my career upon…
- Indira Ghandi’s memory of her grandfather “My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.“
- An early mentor once told me, “if you do what you’ve done, you’ll get what you got.” More than horse-sense, this quote embodies what too many marketing professionals do not get… First, you have to do something to get something, action is required; second, doing more of something that doesn’t work simply won’t help.
Make it a great day!
