The Working Genius of Pippin Resource Group:
How we use our Experience to Serve You
Pam Pippin
The Evangelizing Innovator
Ever since I can remember I’ve had the desire to rebel against boundaries. For over 20 years, I accepted life within the confines of my office, always looking out the window and daydreaming of life beyond my desk. Finally one day, as my professional life tried to consume me, I broke out and when the sunshine and freedom of entrepreneurship hit me I continued to run towards the light of a boundaryless and thriving life.
Not regretting the experience my office afforded me, breaking out gave me the ability to serve more HR Professionals, more businesses, more people who not only needed practical support, but life support. I could take the tools I created in and around the offices and boardrooms of my career and share them with the world.
I’m passionate about creating an environment that is fun to learn in. That’s what you can expect from Pam Pippin in person or in PamCast. So I combine my expertise in Human Resources, along with my passion and energy to bring a team together with real tools that can be used in your personal and professional life. This is key to building stronger, more effective teams and connecting with people all around you.
I’m a certified and degreed HR Professional, some people say that makes me certifiable. I give back to my community of professionals by volunteering at both the local and state levels. If you need to know more you can catch my credentials on Linked In, but what really keeps me grounded is my faith and my family. That’s what drives me from desk to dwelling.
