Janet Taylor - Mentor for Group Leadership

Janet Taylor taught me how to be a better leader, and the critical role that a smile, or outward appearance plays.
 
Being a professional nerd -  in other words, someone who is really only paid to deliver results, it is easy for someone in my position to think that outward appearance doesn't matter.
 
Janet knows that this is not true, that we have a responsibility to present ourselves in the most friendly and helpful manner that we possibly can. She claimed to me that she, in turn, learned this from her father, but whatever the case, using her as a model, I have been able to affect at least a slight change in my behavior to the better.
 
Janet is the consumate sales person, always sharp, always attractive, always smiling, always interested in the needs of others. In 2006-2007, I succeeded her as President of our Sunday school class, which I led for about a year. By using her as a model, I was able to stretch into this role which would have been unthinkable had I not had her excellent patterning to follow.
 
If you knew Janet ( which I believe you could, if you lived in Kansas City and attended Unity Church ) you would know that there is much more depth to Janet than could ever be described in a smile or set of externals. I owe much to her for her kind help with my own personal growth.
