David "Woody" Woodman

My professional passion is teaming with high performance sales people and commercial teams to deliver sustainable growth by transforming personalized customer service into organizational customer loyalty.The biggest successes I’ve experienced during my 30+ year professional career have come from my ability to help teams...... act responsibly and with urgency to uncover customer and prospect perspectives and needs... leverage those perspectives and needs to mobilize sufficient resources to serve these people better or differently so they can achieve their goals... establish purposeful peer-to-peer relationships to maintain organizational relevancy and connectednessMy life journey has helped shape who I am ...... my faith reminds me of the power of prayer and purpose.... my parents instilled in me the value of respecting others, getting involved and committing yourself 100% to whatever you endeavor to do in life.... my time as a playground supervisor during college summer breaks taught me the power of getting people rallied around a common goal and making work fun.... my Industrial Engineering degree from Penn State provided me with a foundation of understanding how businesses operate and how things work.... my experiences with Lean 6-Sigma and the GE Change Acceleration Process (CAP) equipped me with tools to more effectively understand issues, solve problems and make lasting change.... my teammates have taught me that leadership is like a personal “Patronus”; it is inside all of us, but its strength is determined by your courage, empathy, conviction and practice.... my customers have humbled me and made me a better listener, teacher, story teller and proactive agent of change.... my family anchors me and makes me most proud of being the man I am today.
