The small space between success and failure. I will share a personal story that examines how each
life experience is a link, woven together through failures and successes.
I will share the insight I gained from a major injury in my athletic career. How injury helped
me to accept my current circumstances, learn I wasn't defined by my current condition and the
true meaning of agility.
What I hope others will get out of my talk is the will to reinvent themselves. You can be
successful if you are open to a new perspective on success, because it may not look like how
you originally imagined. You can push through and play injured. Alicia Wade is a mom and wife that happens to have a passion for people using their brains, being self-aware and accountable for the energy they project.
Imagine a world where everyone saw themselves and others as a whole and fully capable? That was her inspiration for creating The HR Source, a consulting firm in 2015. Her passion for effective teams was birthed during her childhood on sports teams. Alicia was blessed to be on winning teams enjoying District, Regional, State, Conference, and NCAA All-American honors.
Alicia feels her curiosity for organizational behaviors and team efficiency began in college. She earned two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and one in Communication. She obtained her MBA from Baldwin Wallace College (now University).
Alicia has over 15 years of management experience with Fortune 100 companies. She has lead teams across 21 states, over 500 direct reports and a portfolio of over $150 million. Today Alicia is a District Manager for an upscale clothing retailer. She attributes her success in the corporate world due to being open to risk and failure. She has always considered herself a lifelong learner and finding the teacher in all situations; that approach has helped her find gratitude in each day. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
