All About Values: Markitors and PEAK Fleet E4

This was an empowering conversation of two companies leading by example and continuing to grow through the pandemic. We seem to hear too many stories about companies not making it through the pandemic, but this is not that story. These two companies are taking advantage of the opportunity to grow and expand beyond their original coverage area as well as saving budget by supporting their staff working at home. Brian and Brett discuss values, communication with staff, growing culture, diversity on teams, and kindness not getting confused with weakness.

Are you growing a conscious company during a pandemic? Are you needing to take care of your stakeholders during this crazy time? Are you interested in developing your company’s core values? Are you interested in working with an SEO to help your company grow? Are you interested in conscious capitalism and how it aligns with your company?

All of these are great reasons to listen in!

The PEAK Fleet is in the business of organizational development. Their mission is to “Help organizations succeed by creating an engaged workforce that thrives together.”

A values-based company, The PEAK Fleet was founded on four values they believe essential to any organization: Persistence, Empathy, Authenticity and Kindness. These PEAK Values® are embedded in all of their offerings and guides the approach they take for each client engagement.

PEAK Fleet Co-Founder, Brian Stinson, brings a diverse background in engineering and people systems expertise.

During his 21 years at Intel, he learned to combine the science of data and analytics with the power of empathy and authentic relationships to effectively solve real-world business problems.

In his last role with the company, Brian was responsible for the Workforce Strategy for Intel’s 60 00-person worldwide IT organization. While in this role, he decided that the balance of his career would be dedicated to Organizational Development.

For Brian, launching The PEAK Fleet represented an opportunity to help the greatest number of organizations unlock their full potential.

Darlene Drew

Darlene Drew is a public servant. She’s a Leadership Trainer and the CEO/Owner of Leadership Conditioning, Personal & Professional Development, LLC. She’s a Certified Leadership Trainer, Professional Speaker and Executive Coach with the John Maxwell Team. Darlene helps businesses, companies and organizations by helping leaders develop leaders. She has made a tremendous impact on the lives of many people. “How great it is to greet each day doing what you love to do equipping people with training that helps them grow,” she says. Over the course of my journey in leadership, it’s allowed me to train thousands of people. Training is my purpose, passion and a priority in my life. My early learnings about leadership was taught in my home from my dad and my large, loving, imperfect family of eleven children. Such family dynamics brought leadership lessons that would equip me for a lifetime.”

Darlene has been a public servant through employment in law enforcement which began as a Correctional Officer where she was initially told, “You’ll never make it!” Having decided to “make it,” she continued this career path with a focus on making the field better for staff and inmates. Throughout it, she was asked interesting questions, some of which were: “Why are you here? What should we call you? Why do you do it?” These were all learning and teachable moments from Darlene’s perspective to do what she loves: learn, teach and train. She placed her focus on effecting change, mentoring and developing staff and inmates.

In August 2019, Darlene was one of ten winners of 2019 Stage Time at the International Maxwell Certification Conference. In the public sector, she earned the distinction of Senior Executive Service. Darlene served as Warden of three Federal prisons. She’s the first and only female to serve as Warden at the United States Penitentiary, Atlanta. Darlene served as Adjunct Professor at Lewis University, in Romeoville, Illinois. She is a member of the Rotary Club of Peachtree City and serves on the Board of Georgia Laws of Life.

Darlene earned her Bachelors Degree from Illinois State University and Masters Degree from Governor State University. She was awarded a Certificate of Completion for the Women and Power Program, Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Executive Education. She is a Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education alumni (HKS EE alumni). Darlene is the recipient of the prestigious Attorney General Award and Susan M. Hunter Award from the Association of Women Executives in Corrections.

Darlene’s passion is “building up people,” through teaching, training and speaking. Her guiding life and leadership principle is, “Don’t teach what you don’t know, Don’t lead where you won’t go and Don’t ask for what you won’t give.” Lead Well!
