What inspires you?

Helping others to achieve their goals, great servant leaders, and people who want to make a difference. Individuals who do the right thing even when no one is watching (or when they may not get “credit” for that effort) are very inspiring to me, as well — and I try to seek these people out in life and in work.

What relationship has been most influential in your life?

This is a difficult one to answer as there are several, including my husband, parents and siblings. My two sons have taught me so much about life, love, gratitude, vulnerability, and strength.
