Fearless, Inspired and Free with Dana Wright and guest Carmen Gercone
Welcome back to Fearless, Inspired and Free, a weekly conversation with women in their life's journey, doing great things, overcoming life's obstacles, navigating life, work and personal businesses; becoming Fearless in their action, Inspired to live authentically and Free to live a life they choose! The goal is to build a community of appreciation, encouragement, resilience, growth, acceptance, kindness and support in this space!
The host, Dana Wright served the public in law enforcement for 20 years before she retired in 2019. In that time she held multiple leadership positions within an agency that was one of the largest in the nation. After retirement, she entered into the private sector as a Corporate Security Professional. In addition, she is a Certified Personal and Executive Coach, and has been successful for many years working with people to get them where they desire to be in both their careers and personal lives. Dana has a been able to amass a wealth of education and certifications in her life's journey, including a Master of Science in Leadership, Certified Personal and Executive Coach and FBINA graduate, but her most valuable lessons came from her experiences throughout the years and the people she has been and continues to be able to engage with in various aspects of her life.
Today's guest is Carmen Gercone. In their conversation, Carmen and Dana discuss: The supportive women in Carmen's life, her perceived lack of her father's support only to find the gift that his words and actions were, the desire for growth after feeling stagnate, listening to God's voice and how it will guide you, the reason you don't close doors, how others see your gifts and how it is not always evident to you, why you should make YOU a priority and how important it is to "stay OPEN to it all".
When asked, Carmen says....
I am a wife, mother, and a grandmother. I have never chosen the "easy road", but I have always owned the road I chose.
As a teenage mother, EASY was not an option. As a single mother on Public Aid, with 2 young sons, EASY was not an option. As a 21yr old, newly appointed Deputy Sheriff, EASY was not an option, and after 26 years and a feeling that I was no longer being my authentic self, FEAR was not the option.
In 2020, I was forced to examine myself by putting together my very 1st resume. I was surprised to see the abilities, and capabilities, that others saw in me slowly coming to life as I continued to look back at my career. Yes, at 48 years old, and 26 years in Law Enforcement, I was full of FEAR and thought about taking the EASY road, and staying in a place where I would have to continue to wait for permission to be FEARLESS, INSPIRED, and FREE. After many conversations, with others as well as myself, the decision was made and I am owning the road I chose.
