Dalene Allen

Angela is a self-described "career drifter". 
Work experience timeline:

  1. Gliding Instructor. No mentoring, lots of partying. 
  2. Admin Clerk. No mentoring. Officer Commanding her unit cared more about himself than offering a full-time position.
  3. Community festival volunteer co-ordinator. Temp while the full time person was out on mat leave. No mentoring.
  4. Logistics Customs Brokerage (UPS)
  5. Business analyst (UPS) … UPS misogynistic work culture, company policy to pay men more for equal work and make it against company policy to compare pay with colleagues so they could keep this a secret… no mentoring happening here
  6. IT Support Specialist / Network Specialist for DND
  7. Entrepreneur / Web App Designer
  8. Realtor (consistently in the top 10% for all Royal LePage realtors nationally, a few years of top 5% performance).  Worked at Royal LePage Performance Realty in Ottawa.  The best career move I ever made.  Amazing company culture.  No single mentor, but the culture there itself filled that role.  Incredible colleagues, supportive, encouraging, high integrity and excellence were the norm.  Everyone who had been there before me was in a sense a mentor.  No one gave you any business, you had to do that yourself, but there was no shortage of colleagues giving you good advice on how to make that happen, but there was no single mentor.  Everyone in the company was a mentor.
  9. Young retiree (48 years old) burned out.  All the moves, separation from her husband (even though by choice), a few health issues, and the 24/7 nature of real estate wiped me out. She could have used Geoff Crinean in those days!
  10. AirBnB host.
  11. More rested, healing in progress, and now bored returning to work in a new industry again selling cyber security now in her 50s. 

 

Angela has a BBA from UNB Fredericton, but her personal interests are around human performance and excellence so she has studied nutrition, hypnosis, and NLP as personal interests.  She loves outdoor activities:  hiking, biking, kayaking.
