Lori Durden
What is your passion?
Quite honestly, my family, but I’ve always enjoyed having a career too. My work makes me happy, which makes me a better wife and mother. It’s all about finding the right balance.
Who is your role model/mentor?
Unfortunately, the person I considered my mentor died several years ago. Her name was Lynda Williamson. She was a dear friend and I admired how she excelled at her job with Georgia Power, but was such a strong community advocate, too. Now, I have several “peer mentors” – individuals who are in the same stage of their careers as me but also are just sharp, amazing people whom I admire.
Jan Moore
What does it take to be a strong leader?
Everybody leads a little differently. Even though styles may be different, the core is the same. Lead by example. Listen with discernment. And always be informed, fair, respectful, and kind. Most importantly – give credit where credit is due!
What is your secret weapon? Super Power?
My passion for connecting people and creating partnerships. Every conversation that I have, I feel there is an opportunity to share a connection with someone, make a connection, help someone with a referral, or just collaborate.
