Hi Everyone,
My name is Angela and I have oversight for Executive Coaching, Assessments for Development, and Functional and Leadership Capability Building for a Fortune 20 global technology company. Prior to this assignment, I have run a center of excellence for Executive Coaching and Top Talent Leadership Development, the Corporate Leadership University, Tuition Assistance Program, and other L&D related functions.
A couple of my Strengths (according to Clifton Strengthsfinder) are Activator and Achiever – which means I love to jump in and get started and work my tasks lists – both on paper/virtual and in my head, which means I am very prone to multitasking. When we did the activity in our live session, it was obvious the impact of multitasking on quality, productivity, and my emotional state, but I’m finding it to be a difficult habit to break when balancing the demands of a full-time career, single mom, and head of house-hold. When I feel the whirlwind spinning up around me, this is when I’m finding it most helpful to practice mindfulness.
Angela
