Background

About Jo Fields

My career has been filled with remarkable learning experiences, outstanding people and intriguing business challenges. In accepting these challenging new positions over the years, I have grown into a leader grounded in purpose who strongly believes in the value of collaboration and continuous improvement. I enjoy inspiring others to action and new thinking focused on outcomes. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel- Maya Angelou This is my mantra for life. Regardless of title, position, or role my goal is to leave a positive imprint on their life. During my career, I’ve held numerous positions and in each one, my success lies in my ability to cultivate mutually beneficial partnerships with front line employees, contractors, managers, and clients. Passionate/ productive leaders know how to get the best out of their employees. They are committed to and vested in the results. I am one of these people. WHY? The power of asking a question has brought richness and depth to my business understanding. It is rewarding to quickly identify the root cause and implement a compelling, long-lasting improvement. Leveraging the interdependence among people, systems and processes takes a business to another level. I seek opportunities that allow me to use my inquisitiveness and interpersonal skills to drive results. Being a trusted partner with those above me, below me, and next to me is key. People with different experiences, cultures and perspectives – the more varied the better – amplify my contributions. My strength and passion lie in building capabilities and making order out of chaos.
