Past/current involvement with the Goering Center

Larry Grypp (Goering Center president emeritus) was the first leader I met from the Goering Center. Mark LaRosa was the first member I got to know. Paul Spiegelman and Tim Rettig were two of my favorite speaker presentations. Todd Wilkowski, Goering Center associate member, is one of my trusted business partners and Tim Warren is a good friend of mine. Steve Hater and David Miller do great work serving on the Goering Center staff. I can’t say enough wonderful words about the Center, its events and members - endearing, impactful and enduring. I recently joined the Center and look forward to contributing the mission of the organization.

Special offer for Goering Center Core Members

  • —Do you strategically look for selfless connectors and visionary leaders to spend time with and desire to be part of something bigger than yourself?
  • What is your greatest current or anticipated challenge for building efficiencies in hiring practices to reduce cost and duration and make a perfect match?
  • Are you driving major strategic initiatives to proactively seek out and uncover hidden talent, better understand their own unique higher calling, as well as contribute to their personal or professional missions, and if so, in what ways?

I’m starting an organization I’d like you to get to know called GIVETOGET (GTG). At GTG, we seek selfless connectors who possess a servant leadership mindset where giving is the focus of relationships. Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. We believe life is about proactively contributing to the mission of others without expecting anything in return. If you agree, I’d love to connect. As a visionary leader in the career transition assistance world, GTG sees the potential for how the world should exist for matching employers to talent and we’re taking steps to get there. Why? Because we’ve been on both sides and now it’s our passion to pay it forward. Pursue your passion, define your vision, live your life on purpose, and contribute to a common mission as we build GTG in Cincinnati.
