I never even considered Training & Development as part of my calling. I truly believed Talent Acquisition and Recruiting was the gift God gave me.
Then life shifted.
After a layoff ..and my entire department being outsourced to India …I was asked to train the very team that would be taking over before my exit.
I won’t lie… it was a painful season. I felt disappointed, overlooked, and honestly a little lost.
But years ago, someone incredibly wise, Kevin Wilamowski , shared something with me that never left my heart:
“Change doesn’t always feel good, but all good things come from change.”
What felt like an ending was actually an introduction to another layer of my purpose.
That one assignment pushed me into Talent Development, facilitation, and training. I discovered I didn’t just have a gift for finding talent… I had a gift for helping people recognize, develop, and maximize the greatness already inside of them (their super powers)
Now, because I embraced the pivot instead of fighting it, I’ve had opportunities to travel, train teams, and help organizations optimize talent around the world using behavioral science and people strategy.
Sometimes the closed door isn’t rejection.
Sometimes it’s redirection into a version of yourself you hadn’t discovered yet.
