A PART OF THE WIGGLY WORLD WIDE WEB
Adventurer | Janet Pomeroy
Tell us about yourself: What do you care about? What do you want to do?
I care about making business a force for economic, social and environmental change. I honor the places I work, live and visit by bringing fresh understanding and models to create a more compassionate, collaborative and happier world.
What’s the best thing you’ve ever done?
Going on an extended trek in Nepal and discovering, at 18,000’ that the world is a fragile place. I took that journey and figured out how to apply my skills and values toward making business a force for good. Was it the 100 miles in the backcountry that made me bolder, smarter and braver or the people I have worked with, the projects I stewarded and the organizations I help?
What three things do you need to be happy at work?
Collaboration, a creative environment, and the ability to see positive outcomes from my work.
What kind of work community do you thrive in?
I thrive in groups of people who are smart, excited and meticulous about the quality they are putting forward. I work best with people who can stick with tough challenges and be ready to accept failure and success with grace.
Here are the three jobs I can/will do:
-
Lead an entire organization through stellar strategic marketing.
-
All tasks that requires writing.
-
Talk colleagues off the ledge and work directly with clients and business development to make any and every client happy.
Here are the three things I won't do:
-
Admin assistant duties that are not necessary for my own contribution.
-
Write code beyond basic HTML.
-
Waste precious time with poor planning and failed critical thinking.
