Today, I’m officially announcing Proactive Excellence, LLC, a consulting and training firm focusing on technical team building, dual-career couples, professional development, and cultivating positive workplace culture.
When Mary (my wife) and I began discussing my next steps after leaving higher education, I was surprised when I asked her for her thoughts on a suitable direction. Her wish wasn’t tied to income, location, or profession; she simply stated, “I want to see the smile on your face every day because you believe in and feel good about what you’re doing.” What a powerful way to be encouraged to ask yourself some pointed questions!
I’ve always enjoyed finding and using new technologies to improve things or make them easier for others, but what ignites my passion is inspiring the next generation of learners and supporting those in all workplaces to be their best in balanced and sustainable ways.
The creation of the training materials and insights would not have been possible without the strong role models, mentors, colleagues, over 20 years of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as our alpha and beta testers. To all of you, thank you for everything you’ve done. I have been fortunate to have you touch and enrich my life.
Every day is a new adventure. I look forward to working with you as I follow my wife’s advice and direction to enjoy each day and doing those things I truly believe in. Please visit our website and schedule your consultation!
Happy Anniversary, Mary!
