39. Setting Your Mindset, Boundaries and Priorities with Debbie Storey
Making coffee at work might seem like an ordinary task, so how did Debbie change her mindset about this small task into something that launched her career?
This week's episode is with Debbie Story, President and CEO of the nonprofit AT&T Performing Arts Center, to talk about leadership lessons she learned as she progressed in her career. With her passion for leading teams, the lessons she shares can inspire you to change your mindset and set boundaries to maximize your potential.
A little more about Debbie, before joining the Center full time, Debbie led large organizations in various parts of BellSouth and AT&T operations. Her most recent role was EVP Mobility Customer Service, and before that she spent four years as Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Chief Diversity Officer at AT&T, responsible for identifying and developing leaders across 240,000 employees in 60 countries, aligning managers with the company’s priorities, and driving employee engagement. She oversaw the award-winning AT&T University, as well as the company’s efforts to leverage diversity and inclusion to drive innovation and growth. Throughout her career, she held positions in customer service, sales, distribution, supply chain, operations, network, M&A, digital & social media, and HR, first at BellSouth and then AT&T.
