🌟 Passion and Purpose 🌟 Throughout my career journey, one thing has always remained constant: my unwavering passion for achieving goals and driving results. This innate drive has been the fuel that propels me forward, pushing me to overcome obstacles and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. One aspect of my professional journey that truly ignites my passion is the opportunity to turn around bad behavior and morale issues within teams. Instead of shying away from difficult situations, I embrace them as chances to make a positive impact. There is something incredibly rewarding about transforming negativity into a culture of collaboration, respect, and motivation: Its the results, yesterday we have one of the most higher metrics in the entire company Walmart . For me, it's not just about achieving results; it's about fostering an environment where individuals feel valued, empowered, and inspired to do their best work. By addressing morale issues head-on and implementing strategies to promote positivity and teamwork, I've witnessed remarkable transformations within our store. The satisfaction of seeing my team flourish under my guidance is what motivates me to continue on this career path. Every success story serves as validation of the importance of perseverance, empathy, and effective leadership. As I look ahead, I am excited about the prospect of continuing to pursue my passion for achieving goals and creating positive experiences in the workplace. With each new challenge, I am reminded of the incredible impact that dedication and determination can have on shaping a thriving and fulfilling career. Here's to embracing challenges, driving results, and making a difference every step of the way! 💪✨ #Passion #DriveResults #PositiveTransformation

With CEO Succession planning, a big question from boards is, should we look at internal candidates to be the next CEO, or an external candidate? As Chip Bergh, the outgoing CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. explained in Boardspan's last webinar, the answer is that the right candidate can be both. As Bergh transitions his CEO role to Michelle Gass this week, business publications are talking about Levi's unique approach to succession planning, citing it as a possible model for the future. In The Art of CEO Succession Planning, Chip talks quite a bit about the novel approach he and the board took. If you want to hear the story, the link to the full webinar is in the first comment. The whole webcast is fascinating and I really enjoyed being part of it. #contentmarketing #webinarinsights #thoughtleadership

Celebrating Small Wins: TH Futuremaker July 2023!!! Today, I'm delighted to share a small but meaningful achievement on my journey – the TH Futuremaker award for July 2023! 🏆 This recognition comes from my part-time role at Tommy Hilfiger, a place that's not just a workplace but also a canvas for growth. It may not be a colossal milestone, but it signifies something much larger - the power of consistency, dedication, and a growth mindset. It's a testament that excellence knows no bounds or titles.

360' expert retailer / gmm / dmm / director of stores / store manager / conscious capitalist(social & climate justice) / start-up sustainable brand expertise and relationships (factories) / e-commerce start-up & logistic
Jeff is coming right into the hot seat. If anyone can build a team that can figure our their long term solution - Jeff can. I don’t think is another candidate that could do a better job. But make no mistake - the Macy’s strategy must look very different. The 2 opportunities I see is revolutionizing their e-commerce business which is already in top 10 sites along with amazon, Walmart,, Etsy, E-bay. Target etc. Hire a little AI team to leverage that technology. And, second opportunity are rolling out the much smaller almost large boutique stores in key locations but assortments must be tailored to that customer base. The other thing is these smaller stores can elevate the brand image because they will be new - with Jeff’s luxury brand connections perhaps there could be some story telling around that. Great luck Macy's @jeffgennette

I recently had the opportunity to visit our QVC US headquarters, where I spent valuable time with leaders from across our global business. 🌎💼✈️ During the week we delved into strategic discussions, exchanged insights, and explored innovative approaches to drive our organization forward. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Collaboration Knows No Boundaries: Meeting face-to-face with colleagues reinforced the power of collaboration. We shared diverse perspectives, challenged assumptions, and co-created solutions that will shape our future endeavors. 2. Investing in Relationships: Beyond meetings and presentations, we connected on a personal level. These interactions fostered trust, strengthened bonds, and laid the foundation for lasting partnerships. 3. Learning from the Best: Our leaders generously shared their wisdom, drawing from years of experience. Whether it was a casual chat or a workshop, I absorbed valuable lessons that will inform my professional journey and learning together was fun! 4. Navigating Uncertainty: The ever-evolving business landscape demands adaptability. Our discussions centered around agility, resilience, and anticipating market shifts.

Guess what happened today that totally blew my mind? So, I was just going about my business at work when I turned around to help a customer, and guess who it was? Jessica from my White House | Black Market days! Talk about a blast from the past! It was such a pleasant surprise to see her, and as we caught up, it got me thinking about our time at WHBM. You know, it struck me that a lot of people know how much I love visuals, and Jessica played a huge role in igniting that passion in me. She was the one who really introduced me to the whole visual space thing. Thanks to her influence, I was able to make a smooth transition from working on visuals at WHBM to doing the same at Victoria’s Secret, all while excelling in sales. And let's not forget my stint as the Merchandise Team Leader at Aerie before landing the gig as Store Manager. Jessica was like the spark that set off this whole exciting journey of exploring how far I could take my merchandising skills and sales prowess. It's funny how these little chance encounters can make you reflect on how far you've come, right? It's moments like these that make me appreciate the journey and the people who have been a part of it. Who would've thought a regular day at work could turn into a trip down memory lane and a reminder of the impact someone can have on your life and career? 💚 #AerieReal #Growth

【U: TALK - Why do I constantly strive to challenge myself?】 Leaders’ growth journey behind the scenes! Success doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey of experimentation, growth, and the sheer will to change for the better.
