About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

The Most Important Supervisory Skills

Debra, I agree that we, as leaders, need to be ready to help out. I also feel that leaders need to make sure that they are adequately delegating the work that should be done by others & that they are focusing on the leadership/management functions they need to. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
