Over the past thirty-plus years, I have seen my career evolve through many stages from the entertainment industry, human resource and recruiting management sector, to law enforcement, to healthcare administration, and currently to advanced education, workshop designer/facilitator, and professional coaching. Along this amazing journey I have managed to embrace skills, some terrifyingly challenging, professionally evolving, while others brought out and rewarded the natural skills and talents embedded within my core. I wish I could tell you that I’ve reached the pinnacle of my journey, however my natural curiosity for the unknown, and my natural bent for wanting to deconstruct and reconstruct everything around me, cause me to enter crucible after crucible of change; and so, the culture of “me” is the culture of “what’s next”—of always seeking ecosystems that cultivate the innate natural curiosity from its participants and give permission to take risks. I’m looking to collaborate and network with professionals that are like-minded and goal-driven; if that’s you, contact me at debra.caires@sjsu.edu.
