FOREWORD
I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE of knowing Lavitia for several years, and one of her many refreshing attributes is her innate ability to approach people and situations from an optimistic perspective, while always embracing positivity.
When I first met Lavitia, the company she was working for had recently acquired the company I was working for, and this time of transition was one of great uncertainty for us. Lavitia and I met and had many robust conversations about operations, our employees and change. Our company was heading rapidly in a new direction, and none of us knew with any great amount of certainty what the next hour - or day - would bring. One memory that emerges about Lavitia's meetings with our employees was her steady offering, We will be better together.
She acknowledged that it was a scary time and a normal reaction was to be nervous. She encouraged everyone to be optimistic and hopeful, displaying her talent for helping others see and tap into the values they possess, which often leads to them reaching their full potential; often excelling to levels of great opportunity. Fast forward seven years, and we are a thriving blended company that is indeed better together.
Shifting Perspectives is a thoughtfully compiled list of truisms, anecdotes and life experiences which challenge the reader to approach things from a different perspective. Lavitia has creatively crafted a book that communicates in ways each of us can relate to; from sharing conversations with a beloved elder, to handing out words from the King of Pop!
When I think about shifting perspectives, I choose to focus on turning negatives into positives, drawing from life lessons taught and shared by people, like Lavitia who was unselfish enough to share her own personal experiences with us in the book. I commend her for courageously allowing us to see firsthand how she overcame challenges and excelled through the ranks to become a truly exceptional person, and a great leader.
I'm hopeful that you are encouraged to read this book with an open mind, a positive attitude and a caring heart. As you read each page, I challenge you to take time to care, reflect and deliberately focus your attention toward moving with purpose and shifting your perspective.
— James Ashworth
