Okay so I have not said a lot about leaving habitat. As several of you know since the merger it has not been the same. The leadership was horrible and the mission changed to making money to pay salaries as well as a few other issues. Last February I was called into the office to be told that, I lacked leadership skills, I was poor at time management, I was not a team builder or leader, I was a poor at communications, I had no interpersonal skills and I was placed on a four month probation. I know anyone that knows me knows none of that was true. What was interesting the week I resigned so did three other key staff. Makes you wonder were the problem is doesnt it. At that point all I cared about was finishing the homes I had started and Morris Way. Then came the shoulder injury, that completely messed up my plans. This past year before surgery I connected with a talent manager drove up here for a four hour interview on Thursday followed by a two hour interview on Friday. I was offered my current position late March. They waited on me to get healed before starting as Chief Inspector. Five months they waited for me. This past week I have had most of the leadership from other departments as will as mine, inspectors, police officers, and fire investigators praising me for the changes that have been made, the connections made within the city, and the how much all our department is communicating outward. I was hired for all the reasons I was criticized for by habitat. :) Today I was asked if I was happy and if I needed anything? I was asked if there was anything they could do to provide me some support? I was told any thing I need ask. My gain is surely Habitats loss. No regrets except leaving behind such great familys and volunteers. Yes my friends, God is good and I am grateful he used my talents for so many years to serve others, now I am glad that he has aligned me where I can continue to serve others just in a different way. To those staff still at habitat, get out as soon as you can and while you can. Thanks to everyone that has supported me with my move north, without the love and support from so many people it made the move easier. But consider yourself warned I am Fairfield bound tomorrow afternoon for the weekend.
