One year ago today, I stepped away from the staffing company I had built from the ground up and opened
Lucent Strategies Consulting.
I didn't leave the work. I loved the work. I loved building a staffing company that actually prioritized the human beings on all sides of the hiring equation; candidates, clients, and the team bringing it all to life. That vision was the heartbeat of the company, and it still means everything to me.
I stepped away to answer a little voice that had been calling to me to do three things: Spend more meaningful time with my family and loved ones, deepen my faith, and seize the chance to apply everything I'd learned in 25 years of staffing in a broader manner to help other agencies.
I am happy to share that have done all three!
I've been consulting with staffing agencies across the country and working with leaders who are hungry to grow, open to feedback, and willing to do the work themselves. I've gotten to watch some genuinely great transformations happen. And I've found I love this vantage point: close enough to make an impact, one step removed from the day-to-day grind.
A long and fulfilling career in staffing, operations, and sales taught me a lot. Turns out the best use of it wasn't behind a single desk; it's helping a lot of great companies get better, one at a time.
