What if you saw your career as a series of albums instead of an upward curve?

Has your fave band always stayed in the same genre and never grown or experimented? Probably not… so why can’t we change industries when we have outgrown it or got bored?

If we had asked the S*x Pistols about this, I think they would have renamed their album “Never Mind the Career Change”.

Because they didn’t overthink things. They certainly didn’t wait until they were rehearsed and polished. They didn’t wait for permission and just did it. They created a new energy and enthusiasm and isn’t that so needed right now?

Life is too short to play just one genre or stay in one industry. I’m embracing that punk mentality and jumping into a new industry… even if I can’t play all the riffs yet!

So tell me: would a lil’ punk tempo in your career create “Anarchy” or rejuvenation? 🤣

People and processes. How many ways can it go wrong?!

I trained as a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt because I love finding these solutions. I also hold Certified Scrum Master, Agile Leader, and AI for Scrum Masters certifications.

After 20+ years working in operations and leadership, I've learned that organizations never have just one problem. A process affects the people. The people affect the customer experience. Technology changes the process. Communication gets messy. Priorities collide.

I like looking at how work gets done (or doesn’t), finding the friction, asking why, getting people around the table, and figuring out what can be done differently.

✅ That's what I love to do - and the value I bring to my next organization.

Earned the "AI for Scrum Masters" micro-credential, complementing my Certified Scrum Master (CSM) certification.

It honors a promise I made to myself early in my career. At that time, I was in a training class and there were several women updating their skills after career breaks etc. I vowed never to be in the position of playing catch-up, but to stay ahead of the curve.

I have always advocated for teams to receive on-going professional development. Ironically, the strongest push-back I received was from…. drumroll 🥁 … a UNIVERSITY!!! 😆

❓ What has made the biggest difference in your career: a degree, a certification or on-the-job training?

Another networking event? Is it worth it?

Networking events sometimes get a bad reputation.
Too much small talk. Too many business cards. Too many people saying, "Let's keep in touch," and then... nothing.

But every now and then, you meet someone who genuinely asks: "What are you looking for? How can I help?"
‼️ And then they actually mean it.

That's been my experience with Shannon L. Rich CMP and the incredible community she's built through LeadHERboard , a directory supporting women-owned businesses.

Shannon doesn't just connect people, she champions them.

Last week, she offered to introduce me to leaders in an industry I'm working hard to transition into. Those kinds of introductions aren't just generous; they can change the course of someone's career. That's a rare quality, and I'm incredibly grateful for her support.

Here's to the people who don't just grow their own networks - they help others grow theirs.

Strong female mentors: may we find them, may we be them.

Target made me smile today. My drive-up order was running late, and they sent me an gift card to apologize. (Thanks, Target)

It made me wonder though... If organizations (and their staff) had to compensate people every time they kept them waiting, missed a deadline, or didn't follow through, how much would it cost? Probably more than we'd like to admit.

Organizations pay for delays every day, and the price tag is far costlier than my lil’ Target gift card.
🔹 They pay through lost trust.
🔹 Missed opportunities.
🔹 Frustrated customers.
🔹 Disengaged employees.
🔹 Projects that drag on longer than they should.

👀 What hidden costs have you seen when organizations don't follow through? And is there anyone you owe a gift card to this afternoon?!

You know the dating dealbreaker: "A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person." The same principle applies to organizations.

Many companies talk about culture. Websites highlight employee benefits, mission statements emphasize people, and recruitment materials showcase the best of the organization.

But culture isn't defined by an organization’s PR, it is revealed through everyday interactions:
🔹 Do employees feel heard?
🔹 How are customers treated when something goes wrong?
🔹 How are job applicants treated? (Put a 👋 in the comments if you have been )
🔹 What is the experience of vendors and stakeholders?
🔹 Can leaders focus on the mission, or are they consumed by internal drama?

Culture is how people experience an organization when there is nothing to gain. When an organization treats all people, whether they are employees, difficult customers or huge customer accounts with integrity and professionalism… then we have a real culture love story 💗

What's the best (or worst) example of organizational culture you've experienced?

Latest statistics show that Oklahoma companies who work with Brits drastically increase productivity and their bottom line.

⬇️
Happy April Fools' Day 😆
Although… not entirely fiction.

One Oklahoma company I worked with saw a 463% increase in investment accounts. Another experienced a major turnaround in employee retention and engagement - which, as we all know, is priceless.

The start of Q2 is the perfect time to take a clear look at your business: teams, morale, planning, profits.

If your Q2 could use a boost… let’s grab a cup of tea and chat ☕

I presented "Succession Planning for Rebels" today at The Verge OKC

Founder-dependent companies are fragile companies. We discussed where their obstacles and bottlenecks are, and how to free themselves from that. A succession plan is really a blueprint to freedom, when done correctly. It removes friction points, builds confidence and allows you to build something bigger than yourself, which will continue into the future.

We looked at 3 keys areas: knowledge, systems, leadership. Like the 3 legs of a stool, you need all 3 to save your seat 😆

I was talking about celebrating wins with one of my clients... and her way of doing it is so good, I have to share with you!

She keeps a bottle of ch*****ne in her fridge door, ready to celebrate the next win.

Each time she opens the door, she is reminded that the next win is coming. She doesn’t wait for huge wins; even small wins count. She is training her brain to look for wins, and reminding herself every day that they ARE coming.

What are you doing to celebrate your wins?

PS I can help you GET these wins :) Let’s talk!
