Summary
Results-driven Technical Trainer with expertise in employee training and onboarding. 21 years in the business. Pride myself on a people first mentality. I believe in three principles, 1) People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. 2)The best leadership teams are proactive not reactive. 3) As stated in the job description, leadership must be by influence not authority. Authority gets compliance, influence gets buy in which is sustainable.
