Embark on a journey of discovery with Kate Weber, HR manager at Van Meter, where every employee has a stake in success. Listen closely as Kate weaves the story of her evolution from a student of human interaction to a leader who champions the value of an employee-owned business model. She illuminates the path that led her to Van Meter's doors and the organic rise to her current role, offering a candid look at the power of serendipity in shaping a fulfilling career. Together, we unpack the transformative Working Genius model, exchanging insights on leveraging personal strengths to thrive in the workplace.

This episode is a deep exploration into the heart of Van Meter's ethos, guided by their 'five P's' framework, where people always come first. We dive into the company's innovative "inboarding" process, designed to immerse new hires into a culture that celebrates their arrival and sets the stage for enduring success. Amidst the storytelling, I share my leadership philosophy—a tapestry woven from a series of pivotal learning moments rather than regrets. It's a candid reflection on resilience and the continuous pursuit of excellence, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Van Meter's commitment to progress, community, and the well-being of every individual who calls it home.
