I’m currently researching and gathering information on how people, companies and organizations have reinvented themselves. It promises to be an exciting journey and I’m inviting you to come along for the ride. Join me on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin.
After spending 25 successful years as an executive recruiter it became obvious to me the way people move their career (or life) forward has, well, changed.
Now, change can be a good thing...but when you're caught in the middle of it, change can also be a frustrating, maddening period of not only adjustment, but also of new ideas and new opportunities.
And me? I am or have been a Fortune 500 sales and marketing executive, coach, HeadHunter, serial entrepreneur, author, vlogger, publisher, big biller, speaker, recruiting trainer, career coach, mentor and recruitment industry consultant. I believe that everybody has the ability to achieve success in life and my goal is to help others succeed.
My Background
I work with those in the process of reinvention as well as human resources, staffing and recruiting professionals on fine tuning their business.
So far, I've published two books focused on recruiting excellence. The
first, Happy About LinkedIn For Recruiting, is about Recruiters using
the LinkedIn network and Big Biller, an audio book about million dollar
recruiters. I'm currently working on a third book showing how boomers who have
faced adversity in their careers bounced back.
I went from sales and marketing management with fortune 500 companies
such as Revlon, Max Factor and Helene Curtis, to the computer and
software industries where I launched a chain of computer stores and
participated in taking a software company public. I joined Management
Recruiters International (MRI) in 1986 and was their National Rookie of
the year in 1987. For the last 20 years I have run my own retained
executive search business and along the way created a software company
focused on software for recruiting and staffing firms, and founded
Recruiters OnLine Network (RON), a top 100 web site. I sold my software
and web businesses in 2002.
I have been a founder and board member of the Pinnacle Society
recognizing achievement in the staffing industry, a national speaker for
NAPS, served on the Board of Directors of The Texas Association
Staffing Services (TAPS), was an officer with the Metroplex Association
of Personnel Services (MAAPS) as well as a founder of the local Dallas
Independent Recruiters Group (IRG) and a lifetime member of the USMC
Force Recon Association (FRA) and a middle of the pack Triathlete.
