It's Your Life - Donna Heckelmoser's Blog
Follow me through the antics, joys, humor and craziness of my world. I'm like no other.
“You simply have to start a blog” “You must start your blog” “You NEED to start a blog”…well alright everyone, no time better to start than right now! I’m full of ideas, energy, talent, passion - all of the ingredients to crush it. But what is my true focus? What do I want to write about and share that speaks to the core of my passions, and most importantly, how might it help YOU?
I’ve been told countless times before that I have certain qualities which bring out the best in others, that simply being in my company for a short time brings you to a happier place. That if you see the glass half empty, you’ll see it half full. That your mood will lift, that you’ll start to think of things to bring you to your own happy place, that you’ll think more deeply about what you take for grant it and what you care about. That I’ve infused goodness into the DNA of companies. You may even giggle and laugh out loud with me.
My enjoyment comes from the care and feeding of people, which is wired into my being. That’s why I became a RN. My healthcare path eventually took me out of the clinical setting into the Corporate world of healthcare information technology. My last position was as the Director of Sales Training and Development, completely removed from healthcare. But, each position put me squarely in the center of people activities - helping, cultivating, nourishing, growing, coaching and developing people to be the best they could be. It’s been a very rewarding opportunity, and one that I seemed to be born for.
Luckily, all of these positions also involved education and training of some sort, and hence, my other passion - training and development, flourished over many years.
So, my blog posts will be around people, training, and some good old fun and humor to help folks see the lighter side of life. I hope you will follow me as I undertake this latest adventure in my journey! If one bit of advice, one tip, one story helps you in any way, then I will have succeeded.
Until next time, cheers!
