&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Principal, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.leadershipresourceskc.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;Leadership Resources&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;Donna&amp;rsquo;s expertise is in organizational and leadership development, and business management. She emphatically believes that people are the greatest resource in building successful organizations, which is the basis of her business philosophy of guiding clients in developing talents and strengths into their business leadership, career paths and personal success. She fulfills her philosophy by developing a partnering relationship with each client and customizing her services to suit their goals. She says,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;I &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;partner &lt;/i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with each client to help them better lead themselves, and their staff, and better manage their responsibilities and projects. Improved leadership and management will undoubtedly enhance performance, improve productivity, and ultimately increase the company&amp;rsquo;s bottom line as well as enhancing quality and balance of life.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Her process develops leaders who, in turn, empower their people to use their untapped talents and abilities. Simply stated &amp;ndash; Her process delivers measurable results by dramatically reducing the gap between current performance and human potential.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Donna&amp;rsquo;s clients are owners, executives, and professionals within closely held businesses. Her clients have the advantage of her experience in the fields of sales, management, recruiting, people development, and strategic planning. She works with businesses in the fields of finance, technology, law, marketing, public relations, construction and manufacturing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Additionally, Donna enjoys applying her skills and strengths to the community. You may see her at any of the many entrepreneur and networking events in Kansas City or facilitating events at the Central Exchange. She is a past Board Chair for Newhouse, a treatment center for abused women and their children, and a past member of the Board of Directors for the Don Bosco Centers of Kansas City.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Donna holds a Bachelor&amp;rsquo;s degree from Western Carolina University and has numerous certifications in the organizational development and education arena.&lt;/div&gt;
