that Charter is actively and consistently

She has an impressive career record
of building strong teams and collaborative working relationships,
driving productivity and operational excellence, and motivating
others to deliver superior performance results. In a NAMIC " Mentor
Minute, " she advised against " majoring in the minor, " which she
says is a fancy way of saying, " Don't sweat the small stuff. " " We
all know in the course of the day, we consistently, constantly get
drawn into activities that are not always in support of primary
priorities. At the end of the day, when you think about where you
spent the majority of your time and energy, make sure the majority
of that time and effort was in support of the priorities, " she said.

theme parks, improving fuel-effi ciency of fl eet vehicles and switching
to LED lighting at all facilities. She inspires and engages others
and hopes employees will volunteer 500,000 hours to environmental
goals by 2020. " I like to challenge mentees to think more
broadly about what they're capable of doing from a skills perspective
rather than limiting themselves to a particular job area, " she
says. " I ask them to look at how their talents are transferable to
other jobs because it's critical not to limit yourself. "
