I had the occasion to review my resume recently. I actually try and do it every six months to ensure I capture updates in real time. I have operated Tree Toad Consulting for 6 years now, but I also have a full-time job and have been with the same employer for 24 years. When I went back over my employment I have held 12 different positions in the organization over that time. Some of the positions I applied for and others I was seconded to or restructured into. Those 12 roles ranging from construction, finance, program development, business model restructuring, organization development with engagement, facilitation and leadership training and more, each have projects and accomplishments.

I always say that I am purposefully a generalist as it best suits my personality to learn new things, to be exposed to new environments and to be in service to the people I work for and with. As I was revisiting all the different roles and projects I suddenly thought – “I am not just a generalist, OMG I am a Swiss army knife!”
