Today I’m excited to introduce the one who keeps PowerCORE runinning as smoothly as it does—Wendy Kinney!

Given the heat wave we’re experiencing, I thought it would be fun to get Wendy’s perspective on the summer season.

When Wendy was growing up, she would kick off summer break by diving into the My Friend Flicka book series about a boy and his Mustang horse. These days, she’s on book 8 of the Tom Wood thriller series—she has 6 more to read! Wendy loves reading a series in order to see how the author develops characters and plots over time.

While many of us think of our work in terms of weather seasons, Wendy’s work seasons are based on officer turnover. The next big turnover begins December 1st, and she’s been busy preparing—creating new scripts, referral triggers, mentor moments, and coaches workshops—everything that keeps our teams growing and thriving.

When asked to reflect on her biggest lesson from this summer, Wendy shared that with PowerCORE membership on the rise, complications have also increased. But she reminds us that “a problem is never the problem—how it’s handled is the issue.” One of her favorite guiding principles? “Good news for eyes, bad news for ears.”

Please join me in welcoming the woman who keeps PowerCORE thriving—Wendy Kinney!
