What is your favorite weekend trip?
Growing up in San Diego, the water was always present. Living in Atlanta, and now Phoenix, vacations involving water are highly desirable! Domestic, international, all are great. Some of my favorites have included Cape Town, South Africa and Portofino, Italy. For today’s favorite, I’ll choose Hawaii! Friends & family, sun, food, and fun!
Sharing our core values is very important to us. What does Passion, Discipline, Innovation, Teaming and Integrity mean to you?
Passion-: A natural, driving interest in learning about the world around us and helping everyone find their passion and best path to happiness and success. Discipline-: Hard work and the ability to stay the course when distractions arise. Innovation-:The ability to imagine what could be possible. Respect and acknowledgment of the past, but willingness to explore something different. Then, tackling the constraints and obstacles to work to make it happen. Teaming-: We are more powerful and capable when sharing and pooling our talents. Great teams can achieve great things. And it is much more fun to work with a great team! Integrity-: Underpinning it all, “Use your power for good, not for evil”. We all face opportunities to make choices that impact others. In our profession, balancing the short term and the long term, our clients’ goals, and our business responsibilities is part of the job. If we do right by our client and our employees, the outcome should be the continued opportunity to help our clients succeed = business success and professional satisfaction.
