My Approach to LeadershipI have over 20 years of experience as content writer, creator and strategist. In that time, my focus has always been on people. My focus is always on the audience and their interests, and if I'm working on a team, my focus includes the other people involved in a project. I think it's important to remember my experiences as a team member and infuse it into my approach to leadership. I think it's important to have self-awareness and be more a leader instead of a "boss" while incorporating emotional intelligence, active listing and effective communication into a team setting.

Leadership Examples
Indie Production
As an independent producer and director on episodic and feature-length movie/TV projects, I've led production shoots with 20+ people (actors, extras, etc.). I grew a reputation for moving things quickly (not wasting anyone's time), accepting ideas from anyone on set and treating everyone equally.

On-Air Fundraising
As an on-air fundraising producer, I led journalists, radio pros, senior executives, dedicated donors and station partners in an effort to improve strategy, messaging and programming. The goal was to improve fundraising results for the North Texas Public Radio station. The effort led to shorter drives and record-breaking results. People knew me for keeping a calm head and treating everyone as an equal contributor.

Fortune 1000 Global Newsletter
As a content marketing manager at a global IT company, I lead team members from around the globe (North America, EMEA and APAC) to produce customer newsletter featuring news and content. Along with meeting content deadlines, I lead weekly meetings to discuss progress, needs and challenges with team members.

Podcast Producer
Since 2011, I've worked on a variety of podcasts in different capacities (writer, producer, host, consultant). This also includes leading a podcast team responsible for social media, graphic design, guest booking and topic selection. While I was responsible for leading and approving all aspects of the show, I always left the door open for all team members to share opinions on topics, guests and episodes.
