Garry Lenhart’s Summary
I'm currently still trying to decide on a career path. I have been at Wells Fargo Financial for 5 years. 1 year as a technical service specialist, 1 year as a desktop publishing specialist, and 3 years as a Remediation project manager. I really enjoy leading groups and projects and would like to get into the managerial/leadership side of business. I am ultimately competitive and would love the challenge of helping a team to become high-performing. I love coaching and teaching (even AFTER 7 years in the public school district) and helping people to achieve their goals. I'm currently teaching cardio kickboxing at the Des Moines YMCA and I'm LOVING helping people to achieve their fitness goals as well. I like learning through books/classes/workshops how to motivate and inspire others to perform to their own maximum potential.
