I'm humbled to be considered an “influencer" by the LinkedIn community. Though, truthfully, I consider myself more perpetual student than expert (evidenced by my ever-growing pile of reading material). I look to the many thinkers, leaders, and culture-makers who’ve crossed my path in life and work for inspiration, and they feed my curiosity and reinforce my ideas. And of course I continue to be blessed by the sustaining influences in my life— my parents, husband, kids and friends.
These various influencers continue to shape my world view, and direct my personal and professional paths by providing experiences beyond my wildest imagination. An influencer to me is someone who shares their journey—the ups and downs—and their approach to their craft or the spark that ignites a new interest allowing people to do more and go further. At their core, an influencer creates an empowering human connection.
