The Journey of Judy Whitcomb With a multifaceted career spanning finance, marketing, HR, and learning and development at United Airlines, Judy Whitcomb gained invaluable experience in understanding the vital relationship between people and business. In 2007, she ventured into the senior living industry by founding the learning and development department at Vi, where she crafted award-winning employee development pro- grams. These initiatives offered career paths for employees in various roles, promoting professional growth, and contributing to improved retention rates.
The Power of Mentorship Judy’s journey led her to establish Storybook Leadership Consulting in 2023, a platform that emphasizes coaching, employee develop- ment, and the creation of nurturing corporate environments. Ex- ecutive coaching is a learning approach that creates self-awareness, helps drive transformational change, and provides critical challenge and support. Coaching supports empowering executives and their teams to contribute even more to their organizations’ growth and profitability. This goal includes enabling clients to be more authentic, courageous, and effective. She firmly believes that mentorship plays a pivotal role in driving individual and organizational growth. For Judy, “everyone has a story to tell and unique opportunities to explore, and mentorship serves as a catalyst for individuals to realize their full potential.”
Key Attributes of Great Leaders Drawing from her vast experience, Judy outlines five essential attri- butes that exceptional leaders possess: 1. Growth Mindset: Great leaders approach every success and fail- ure as an opportunity to improve. They embrace challenges and continuously seek ways to enhance their skills and knowledge.
2. Discipline and Continuous Learning: Possessing a growth mindset is one thing, but the best leaders also demonstrate disci- pline in cultivating continuous learning. They actively participate in conferences, webinars, and other learning opportunities to stay ahead of the curve and encourage others to do the same.
3. Developing Others: Exceptional leaders understand that success is not just about individual accomplishments. They invest time and effort in enabling and supporting others to reach their goals, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration.
