When I was 16 years old, my mantra was “I do what I want”. I have always had a thing for freedom. The businesses I built in agriculture after college created anything but freedom. One day I had the profound realization that there were no people there, and I wanted to be with and develop people and leaders. The transition to a people development role for a large agricultural cooperative in the Midwest provided a unique opportunity to study, survey and interview hundreds of employees, managers, and organization leaders. I knew more freedom had to be possible for myself and organizations. My life’s purpose is to help people see the possibility of real freedom and be bold, authentic leaders.
I am that others may see the possibility of freedom. Freedom from the past, freedom from shame, freedom from the opinions and actions of others. I am that commitment can be created and that compliance is never needed.
