What are the little victories you look for?Something as simple as appreciation from a portfolio leader for a quick response to an email or connection to a resource is a small victory I relish. Even better if I can help our portfolio leaders solve a problem, save them money, or simplify a process. I am lucky to partner with such talented executives and entrepreneurs every day, and serving as a connector and guide is very rewarding.What can you do/deliver/provide like no one else?You need a playlist? I’m your girl. The soundtrack to many a Norwest event has featured a highly curated LBT playlist. If I could make playlists for a living, I would!What makes you fun to work with? And what makes you valuable to work with?I hope my colleagues would say that I’m fun to work with because I am genuine, I bring a sense of levity, and I don’t take myself too seriously. That said, I am a straight shooter with a strong work ethic who is not afraid to voice an unpopular opinion. I lead with respect and offer my thanks and praise often. Kindness goes a long way, as does a keen sense of humor. ;-)What inspires you about your work? What makes you passionate about your work?The most inspiring thing about my work (and the work of all of my colleagues at Norwest) is when it “clicks” for our CEOs and portfolio execs that Norwest is different. When they realize our team is all-in when it comes to every aspect of a portfolio company’s journey. It sounds cliché but I see it all the time. Genuine thanks – and often surprise – for the time and energy our team puts in to not only company building, but relationship building. It's unique and makes me proud to be at Norwest!
