Maximize your return when investing in yourself and others
On Managing and Leading
Ben Horowitz said something like this when talking to Tim Ferris, and I’m not sure if I caught the essence exactly, or maybe I edited it a bit, but here’s what resonated:
A manager is someone who teaches others how to do what they know
A leader is someone who teaches others how to know what to do
My add: The key to being effective is to know when to manage and when to lead

Hi there! I’m the Vice President of Reporting & Analytics and Implementation at a large talent management consulting firm. I’m passionate about my work and have a strong track record of success in the RPO and Talent Acquisition space. My superpower? Building effective teams! I love developing leaders, coaching, and motivational speaking. When I’m not working, you can find me cheering on my kids at their sporting events, exploring new cultures through travel, tending to my garden, or getting lost in a good philosophy book. All the opinions I share are my own. I am fallible, but I believe in failing fast and course correcting.
