"Shortly out of college I was working for a division of Chrysler when I was nominated and accepted to their formal credit program. I lived in Houston and the program was in Florida. I was so scared, but I knew this 18-month program would dramatically change my life, so I packed my car, hugged my mom like it was the last time I'd see her and drove through my tears for two days and started the program. It was the hardest thing I had done to that point, and WOW was it worth it."
"I've been doing this for 40 yrs and happily say even the rough experiences were lessons worth learning! Once I learned we are each the CEO of our careers, and I didn't leav"
A credit program accepted shortly after college required relocating and created intense fear, but completing it proved transformative and taught that hard work pays off. The experience reinforced that limitations are often self-imposed and that taking risks expands opportunities. Leadership preparation came from decades of work, including difficult experiences treated as lessons. A guiding belief emerged that each person is the CEO of their own career, shaping choices and accountability. The focus remains on applying learned resilience to current leadership responsibilities and on passing forward practical lessons to the next generation of women in housing.
