HER THOUGHTS
By Cheryl Stuck
What Is Your Secret For Getting Ahead?
Angie Stokes, 29
Project manager at Messer Construction Company
“Always act with honesty and integrity. I make sure to return phone calls
promptly, respond to e-mails in order of urgency, and always ask
questions in order to understand. My job has constant interruptions, so I
make a to-do list daily, start at the top and get as far as I can until I get
interrupted. Then I address whatever comes up. I’m involved in
leadership classes and industry organizations to meet new people and
learn what other people do for a living and how they get ahead.”Terri E. Foster, 36
Interim artistic/executive director for the Louisville Youth Choir, artists in residence at
the Ursuline School for the Performing Arts
“The nonprofit that I manage is a local youth choir servicing singers first through twelfth
grade. I am a conductor for two of our three choirs, and that lets me exercise my artistic
muscles. I program seasons, run auditions for singers, and do the rehearsals, as well
as getting into the business side of things.
I feel very passionate about music and especially what it can do for young people…so
that makes it easy. It’s not really work. Through professional associations I not only
meet other conductors and competitors, but I also find other opportunities
for performances that I may not have known about, so it helps me professionally and to
grow artistically as well.”
Amy Baach, 57
President and owner of Baach Creative Services, Inc.
“I make a schedule every week and prioritize daily. My company is in
advertising, and I’m a copywriter, graphic designer, and develop
corporate communications for companies. I do what
I enjoy, whether it’s on the golf course, behind the desk, on the
telephone, or in meetings. Doing what you enjoy makes it easy to get
through each day. And I have a great boss. I can have all the time off I
want, but I end up working more hours.”
MaDonna White, 55
Program Coordinator for the regional tuberculosis clinic
for the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness.
Also teaches medical records management and medical office
management at ATA Career Education college.
“I am responsible for keeping the community safe from active
tuberculosis, so I stay current and keep up with my education…taking classes or
training somewhere. I like to read a lot of professional magazines and journals. I also
like to be out with young people because they see things through new eyes. I believe
that one person can make a difference. I ran for Kentucky Secretary of State in the
2007 primary and though I did not win, both men who ran in the November election
used parts of my platform for their campaigns, so I did make a difference even without
being elected. Healthcare needs such reform that I’ve got to make that happen in
Kentucky where the people that I love, live.”
