- Where I learned to be a Maverick – SCJ, pregnancy, name change
- They will always think like you Experience at BBW vs. SCJ But not just to be different BBW – 40% newness – couldn’t think like P&G, but trained like it – shower gels Vision around Holiday Raft trip Bob the Dog Lack independent thinking
- You will spend more time with your co-workers than spouses, family, etc. over your lifetime. It is all what you make of it - - make a difference, make an impact. Want to sit next to you to Europe Think like another industry – i.e., not personal care packaging goods, rather fashion Shower Gels / Gift Sets Personal care was a routine – changed to a pampering experience
- i.e., J&J or Avon Kate – emotional connection
- Make it or its sell side not buy 40 + Compensation / promotion Child at Christmas
- G.E. - BP’s core team - - -Laurie / Mike / Ethan - - have followed me from my days at SC Johnson to BBW to Dean & Deluca to present at Sunrise Beauty Studio. invited Les ??? Insist
- BOD – my design person Linda ?????
- My greatest accomplishments – my family and friends. Being the first woman VP at SC Johnson and taking a small retail chain to one of the most recognized and trusted brands ever in personal care. Don’t let one area control your life. All work and no play . . . When you do take time for yourself, family, friends . . . Disconnect . . .. Put down the Blackberry and really be present. I’m sure I will sound like your parents, but life really does go fast and you have to enjoy every minute. The old saying, it takes a village . . . Don’t discount anyone or their contributions. Learn from your peers, colleagues, family, competitors, etc. Learn what kind a leader you want to be or in some cases, what kind of leader you do not want to be. Always recognize a success, big or little. You can’t change history but you can definitely change the future.
