"In my leadership role with my current organization, I have been part of an ongoing change process to optimize our staffing ratio to meet production needs. After a careful analysis process and researching industry standards, we implemented a plan to reduce our administrative staff while bolstering production staff, and this was a tremendous change for our organization. My role in the process's implementation was to gather data and put together a presentation for our board and Senior Leadership. I also helped prepare both internal and external communications that went out regarding our upcoming changes. As things stand today, we have been in a continuous review of new processes, and things are going great! This involvement has prepared me to help others manage significant change in their business processes."

I have extensive experience in change management. I managed business through bankruptcy and acquisition in 2017, one which heavily affected employees and clients. Managing this change involved closing businesses, rerouting customers to new locations, and keeping existing teams motivated during a very difficult time. To manage this successfully, I communicated with a responsible level of transparency which helped gain trust and understanding from my teams. I remained a calm and stable source for employees, helping them plan for the controllable areas of their business to maintain performance. Staying involved in the process during a challenging change kept my district sales solid and retention high.
