About Curtis Burdette

I work within organizations to shift the culture to better build up employees and treat them as the most valuable resources. I grant employees the freedom to make mistakes and focus on the teachable moment. I help others to become who they are becoming. I thrive in environments where I can bring my passion for employee-driven, customer-centered leadership into every process in the organization. The breadth of my work experience tells the story of an English Professor who cares more about helping students express their ideas than worrying about their grammar, a Resort Executive who loves serving guests and will empty the trash and shovel manure, and a Management Consultant with a knack for financial analysis who has the people skills to build rapport with employees in stressful situations.I help individuals to discover, build, and grow.
