Why did I choose to be a generalist?

Posted 3/14/2019

There aren’t many aspects of my career that have been purposeful. I started my career more than 30 years ago (gasp!) thinking I would be the Cruise Director on the Love Boat (or any cruise ship). Anyone who knows me knows I am not that much fun nor am I that social! My recreation therapy education highlighted the joy I had working with the elderly. This led me to a career in the health field.

 

 

 My career in health has been a winding journey through many organizations, locations, and roles. I have worked in both clinical and corporate settings, in for profit and not for profit environments, and in front-line and senior management. I have been fortunate to have been part of many rewarding pieces of work and projects.

 

For every career opportunity, I have stepped into I have embraced new learning. I love to learn!

 

 

I have been handed an idea/concept and asked to deliver a completed product. I love a challenge!

 

I have been parachuted into crisis situations and asked to fix it. I love making a difference!

 

I have been able to work in a boardroom, a construction site, an operating theatre, and a warehouse because I am a generalist. Every situation adds to my toolbox and my tools can add to every situation I am lucky enough to be part of.
