Bio
Will Karbach, Professional EOS Implementer®
At about the same time and both of us new to the organization, Savannah and I arrived when our organization needed real help after a tough setback. She wasn't an obvious choice for her role, with her background in public education. (I confess I was skeptical.) But she took responsibility for several functions within a complex, international, not-for-profit ministry where EVERYTHING was new to her; and she met every challenge head on. Let's pretend the word "exceptional" has as much meaning as it once had. Character: Exceptional, even within a group of high-character team members. Self-starter: Exceptional Conscientious: Exceptional (perhaps to a fault!) Seeing the big picture: Exceptional Willing to challenge those with more authority: Exceptional (and artfully done!) My favorite exchange with Savannah: Her: "Are you mad at me?" Me: "No. In fact, I don't think you've ever annoyed me." She has a "help first" mindset. She stepped up to lead. She's got a spine and she is wise. She was a pleasure to work with.
