| Introduction | I prepare students and educators for the incredible new career opportunities – and daunting competitive challenges – of the emerging global workforce. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech, and an MBA from Boise State University, but my greatest learning experiences have come far from the ivory towers of Academia or the polished floors of Corporation, Inc. Having explored all six inhabited continents, I lean on good ol' fashioned storytelling and lessons-learned ("cross-cultural collisions”) to get students and teachers ready for an entire New World - the 21st Century Workplace. |
