Throughout my 30 year career, I've been mentored, given training, coordinated safety, implemented new technology and managed numerous high stress situations. Overtime, I believe I became a great judge of true leadership skills.
One example of Laurett's leadership and influence is one day my 15 year old granddaughter was visiting from out of state. We were at Laurett's for dinner and Chloe, a self conscious, 5'10" irritable teenager, that hates everything, was buried in her phone. Laurett reached out to Chloe and starting asking her about school and general conversation. Before we left that evening, Chloe was learning how to walk the runway, in 6 inch stilettos, wearing a beautiful flowing gown, a Mrs America sash, standing up straight and grinning from ear to ear. When I sent pictures to her mother, she said this was the first time she'd seen her daughter stand up straight and SMILE in over 5 years!!
Laurett is the most honest, loving, disciplined, non-judgemental, goal oriented, consistently driven to succeed, health conscious, generous, motivational leader and friend I have ever known.
