"A couple of years ago, I was working with a large local client on a radio advertising campaign when I was the Marketing and Advertising Director of a media company. In the initial meetings with the client, they were hoping to be very edgy in their advertising for their line of automotive dealerships and most of their ideas were too inappropriate for radio. The general manager of the client insisted that his ad ideas were appropriate and even threatened to take his ad business to a competitor if we wouldn't comply. In a great effort to keep their business, I created a presentation with the FCC regulations that would be violated based on his initial ideas and made it clear that no other media company would be willing to run his ads. At the end of my presentation, I came up with three very creative, and what he considered edgy, ad campaigns for his dealership. After a night thinking about it, we reached a great agreement on a campaign that made my organization a lot of money and brought a ton of business to our client."

"In my current role as Supply Chain Director, a few years ago we almost doubled our production due to a few new government contracts that we were awarded. While plans got underway for warehouse expansion quickly, my team was under a very small warehouse space for over a year due to the significant increase in production. This limited space called for a full team effort that I coordinated and this collaborative effort entailed us re-writing our guidelines for minimal inventory and just-in-time inventory. In the end, prior to our new warehouse space being completed, we were really a well-oiled machine working with as little space as possible and the team effort was critical in this."
