Why is community service critical to your career and your personal leadership journey?
My community service work is integral to my career and personal leadership journey. My volunteer work in the construction industry, particularly my work surrounding advancing women in construction, led me to my current position at MCCEI. It also gave me the chance to grow my leadership skills when I didn’t have the same opportunities in my day jobs.
Self-care connects everything in life: career, interactions and one’s personal life. Is this something you are doing well or is this a goal? What are your secrets if you are succeeding and what are you goals if this is a focus area where you want to learn from others?
At the beginning of the year, I created a vision board for how I want my year to go. Along with professional goals and achievements, I placed self care items like vacations, the number of books I wanted to read, and time spent with my family. Taking care of myself makes me a better leader, spouse, mother and friend, because I work best from abundance, not lack there of.
