Finding My Purpose

We are here for a purpose and I believe that purpose has been predefined by a higher being. Finding my purpose has brought joy to my life. Life is not about me but rather it is about His works- "building work places, communities and people that make a difference." Achieving that outcome will result in a dream realized. My life's contribution is to use my gifts to assist others in working and living together in such a way that people, organizations, and communities are more productive, profitable, and peaceful.

Overtime, I have come to value:
  • Everything starts with defining expected outcomes- hence, my passion for an outcomes focused business.
  • Results cannot be achieved without a plan and that plan must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. Strategic planning is essential to both personal and professional success.
  • With adequate knowledge and skills you are able to achieve your optimal potential. Learning is a life-long process. Continuous improvement must be incorporated into everything that we do.
  • Excellence is the desired output of all activity. Completion of activities is influenced by behaviors individuals engage in and these need to be defined and consistent. Best practices must be established so that excellence is achieved regardless of the individuals engaged in the activity.
  • Stories are told in both words and numbers. If you look closely, numbers are indicators of our priorities, focus, and success. Numbers can be used to guide discoveries that ultimately facilitate continuous growth and development  and our ability to reach goals.
  • We can only manage that which we measure. Measurement must be integrated into all that we do so that we can make adjustments when we need to and improve our ability to manage our most valuable resource-time. After all, we each have a limited amount of time to do our work and none of us knows what that amount of time is.
My purpose is to inspire and inform you to "be your B.E.S.T." so that you can live a life that impacts others!
