"I consider Dr. Gearl Loden both a friend and mentor. I sincerely can not think of a leader that has helped me professionally more than Gearl has. He has a passion for academic success, and he loves his students. He takes their success very personally. He makes sure that every student that graduates has the tools to be very successful as an adult. "
As I contemplated retirement from public education and a possible second career in the private sector, I asked Dr. Loden for lessons learned from his retirement experience a few years earlier. His coaching was thoughtful, intentional, and helped me reach a place of self actualization, comfort and peace with my decision to leave behind a job I loved, for a new challenge.
Dr. Loden examines leadership performance and effectiveness comprehensively with boldness and confidence as he leads in sound, best practices of effective leadership. His willingness to accost the status quo challenges any true leader to refine practices and implement new strategies.
As Director of Human Resources, I was able to effectively collaborate with the CEO of our company to incorporate a fair wage structure with the assistance of Dr. Loden.
