You’re a successful healthcare executive, why did you decide to add
author to your role?
During my Rock Bottom experience, I vowed to myself that I would help
other women avoid the mistakes I made that landed me in the situation. I also wanted to
encourage women to be tenacious
and remain hopeful that at any given moment God can move you out of the
Rock Bottom pit.
What do you hope readers will gain from reading Rock Bottom Success?
I hope my readers will gain truth; the good, bad and ugly about what it’s
like to hit Rock Bottom; my mentors shared and exposed me to things however I
really wish they had shared those details of their poor choices in the workplace.
For example, in the book I share that I didn’t find out until after I
prematurely resigned from my job that one of my mentors resigned from the same supervisor for the exact
same reason as I did a few
years before me.
How did finding yourself at “Rock Bottom” propel you to success? In
what ways did it make you dig deeper to see yourself and the world around you?
Wow! My rock bottom experience was the pivotal point of my life which
carried over to my career. I believed that God has so much for me that it was imperative that he
prune all the things that were
not of him. This is the reason the pearls of wisdom have been
incorporated into the book. A pearl is made from the journey of being molded by an irritant and water that
assist with smoothing it to a gorgeous and elegant pearl.
If you could go back and change anything about your personal
journey, what would it be?
Absolutely Nothing! Every iota of my Rock Bottom experience prepared me
for my today.
How has having mentors helped you gain clarity about your career
direction and overall
purpose in life?
Mentors have brought clarity by allowing me to share ideas off. I also
allow them to challenge me with the goal of identifying the next steps of my career.
How has mentoring others helped you to better understand yourself
and women entering the workplace?
It’s helped me to keep learning. Mentees bring out the best in me and
help me to see how much I have matured as a businesswoman.
What is the most beneficial career advice you’ve ever received?
Never forget to assist others as others have assisted you in your
professional development.
How do you balance career, family and service?
By taking care of me first; my order is God, me, and then my family.
Live life and don’t let it live you.
Girlfriend time and me time is a must!
From a manager’s perspective, how can women in entry level positions
gain the attention of decision makers when seeking advancement in the workplace?
By staying engaged company projects, volunteer to do various projects
and trainings. Do the things that others do not want to do. Always be willing to sharpen the saw and
one day you will be the
most knowledgeable, visible, and noticed person in the workplace.
With harassment prevalent in the work environment, what advice can
you offer women who find themselves on the receiving end of a rude or insensitive
coworkers attacks?
A person should stay focused on the bigger picture of why they are at
the organization. Oftentimes, rude coworkers are merely distractions. Find a safe place of coworkers,
women or men, to connect with. It’s always alright to address the rudeness by expressing how you
feel. It’s not what you say but your delivery. As it relates to harassment, always see your HR
department and put it in writing to carbon copy your HR file.
Moving forward, what’s next for you?
I have a workbook that assist those who desire to further their
professional development. Also, exploring future possibilities of having an on-line course on workbook
topics.
