The Luckiest Girl in the Whole World

My friend once told me that I could find a book to answer any question I had ... and I think she's right!  My name is Bev B. and I am a Southwest Employee at our University for People, a self-proclaimed bookworm, and a lifelong learner.  And, I think I just might be the luckiest girl in the whole world.  Allow me to explain why ....

For many years, I have been a firm believer that self-awareness and personal growth are the keys to happiness.  In fact, I do believe that I can find a book to answer any question.  My bookshelves at home are full of books on just about any subject you can imagine.  So, during the past six years that I have been employed at Southwest Airlines, my goal has been to work for the University for People.  The University is our Leadership, Personal and Professional Development, and Learning Department.  Last year, this dream became a reality when I was hired as an Instructional Designer at the University.

I research, design, and develop Leadership, Personal and Professional, and other soft skills training classes for Southwest.  Now, it is my job to do what I was already doing ... reading Leadership and Development books, researching new learning opportunities, and growing. The only difference is that I get to share my passion with other Southwest Employees and make a difference in the lives of other lifelong learners.  Yep, I think I just might be the luckiest girl in the whole world!
