Brigette Heller

This past Thursday I had the opportunity to hear Brigette Heller speak about her career. Mrs. Heller spoke about her professional career and the people that she has encounter during her career. The most important lesson that gathered from this speech is no matter how powerful you get in your life time, always stay humble. Mrs. Heller told a story about her first job opportunity and how one of her only friends was a black janitor named Mr. Charlie. She referred to him as Mr. Charlie as a sign of respect. Though her fellow colleagues looked down upon Mr. Charlie, Mrs Heller felt a special connection with Mr. Charlie. She even referred to him as a positive role model for her. Mrs. Heller has also stayed humble throughout her career, and that lesson will go much further in the business world than any other skill.
