“I believe in giving it my all, and taking all that I can from every opportunity I have. If we enter everything we do with that mentality, we’re going to be successful and we’re going to grow.”
Associate Manager, Human Resources
I facilitate a four-day leadership development session for our managers and area coaches called The Mark and The Quest.
Most of what I do from day-to-day is communicate the business impact behind attending our leadership development sessions. This entails everything from talking to interested franchisees about why they should send their managers to our programs, to leading registration for the sessions, negotiating contracts, and scouting event locations. This year alone, we’ve led eight sessions here in Irvine, put on another six or seven on the road, and trained over 1,000 leaders through our programs.
Here's the first step for high school students
Stay in school: I prioritized everything else over my education, but I sometimes wish I had focused on school. It took me 15 years of work to get to a place where I was ready to get my degree, and while I figured out what I wanted to do through those work experiences, I think I also could’ve found my passions while I was in school. And as hard as it was to get through school while I was raising a family, I still enjoyed it and loved learning from my professors and my peers.
