Here are Some Values that I Hold Dear:
Be Unique
Growing up as an identical twin, I gained a special appreciation for celebrating individuals’ uniqueness. This early experience helped me value our differences, even the subtle or below the radar ones. It made me understand that differentiation as individuals and as businesses is what allows us to thrive.
Celebrate Creativity
We must be creative in business to be most successful and to enjoy it. I find happiness in expressing my creativity through various outlets. I’ve used art as inspiration for over 25 years, primarily as an oil painting hobbyist. I love the process of taking a completely blank canvas and turning it into a piece of artwork with meaning.
Make an Impact
We can’t possibly do everything, so we need to focus on what’s most important. As a CEO and adviser, I listen very closely to customer needs to drive priorities for growth. Intelligent sequencing is one of the most valuable actions we can take that will lead to long term success.
Listen Closely
I am fascinated by observing and studying customer behavior to learn what drives people to act. I believe in constantly examining how my businesses and my clients’ businesses work, using customer information that goes beyond data or industry stereotypes.
