4. Excellence is more than a job to me—it’s my philosophy in life;
creating excellence through flexibility, accountability, and
education.
I enjoy bringing people together in a positive way that maximizes
their potential!
I accomplish this by keeping things simple, having fun with people
while utilizing lean six sigma methodologies and operational tools
to develop capability and create effective teams that drive and
sustain results.
Brief Introduction:

6. Creating excellence through flexibility, accountability, and education!
!
Flexibility: the way things are done today may be different tomorrow - How can
we make it better? What needs to be eliminated?
!
Accountability: if I say I'll do it, I will. If you say you'll do it, I will expect you to
do it - How can I help you keep your word?
!
Education: personal and corporate. What is getting in your way?
