Fun Facts About Ellen

Hmm.. first instincts lead me to say a dolphin… socializing with friends in the Ocean.. count me in!

I grew up in central Illinois and still crave a thin-crust Monical’s pizza with a side of French dressing… yep, you dip the pizza into the dressing.. it’s delish!

Is Arya Stark from Game of Thrones considered a super hero?? I loved watching the evolution of her Achiever Competitor skills!

My dad actually went through an Achievers course over 15 years ago! At the time, I didn’t fully understand what Achievers and Bell Leadership was all about. What I did recognize was the profound impact it indirectly had on me growing up as a daughter of a parent who’d been through one of their training programs. I love that I get to work for an organization that directly and indirectly touches people’s lives in transformative ways!
