WORK EXPERIENCE
GIFT + GROW SOCIETY | THE WHOLE STORY
How it Started...
It is crazy what a passionate Linked In message can do!
At the beginning of this year, I took a shot at impressing John Ruhlin, CEO of The Giftology Group, the #1 Corporate Gifting firm in North America. To my delight, he answered, and after some collaborative conversations with his team of where I could fit in and help, I pitched John an idea...
Launch an online community where smaller, savvy business leaders, who otherwise cannot afford a gift fulfillment service, can come together to learn and apply gifting strategies in order to help them grow.
​
I got a green bubble text from an unknown number. A video message from John Ruhlin congratulating me...my idea was accepted. Never being a part of, nor managing, nor LAUNCHING, an community before, I got to work, and well now...I'm here...managing The Giftology Group's first ever interactive community, Gift + Grow Society.

How its Going...
This experience, this job, has taught me so much.
With 342 members and counting, Gift + Grow Society is helping grow the businesses of many, all of the while, I am growing myself.
​
I create content and interact directly with members on all things gifting. Building a strategy, answering industry specific questions, and recommending gifts that will absolutely knock their relationship building out of the park.
​
From the ground up, I have seen this community through, and I cannot thank The Giftology Group, and John himself enough for the support and the opportunity. Theres not much more that I can say about Gift + Grow Society besides that this place surprises me each and everyday....and I think you need to go check it out for yourself.
​
Generosity does not have a price tag. Remember that.
