"Help someone do something that they don't think they can do!"

I first met Dayna when she interviewed for a seasonal zip line guide position with Empower Leadership Sports & Adventure Center in the winter of 2009. Dayna quickly became a key player in the Middletown operation and, since about 2016, the entire Empower Adventures Operation. Whether it was sitting next to her in the small corner office, working as a guide team - Dayna always did whatever it took to get the job done to the highest standard possible! It was so great to spend some virtual time catching up with Dayna - I hope you enjoy her tremendous stories and insight!

00:00: Episode Introduction and Guest "Roll Call"

  • Introducing Dayna Adamowicz - the HR Director for Empower Adventures Operation
  • Get to know Dayna as she discusses "mom-life", parenting during a pandemic, her family's big move from Connecticut, and her hopeful silver linings from the past 14 months

17:50: Lead, Inspire, and Empower - Dayna's Leadership Journey

  • Dayna joined Empower as a recent college graduate and she shares how experiences from college and her very early professional career helped her discover her sense of adventure!
  • We discuss the importance of talking yourself through self-doubt - "it's always worse in your head; but then you do it, realize you're ok, and it gets easier every time"

35:01: Seasonal Part-Time Zip Line Guide to Key Player with Empower Adventures

  • Dayna discusses her transition into the full-time roll with Empower Adventures - focusing on her willingness and excitement to go above and beyond while never shying away from taking initiative, and her willingness to "get her hands dirty" with whatever needed to be done for the team!
  • We discuss some lessons learned during Dayna's time in the adventure operation
  • Dayna shares her favorite memories from her time at Empower's original adventure park in Middletown, CT

59:00: "It takes 2 seconds of courage to try something new!" - Episode Closure

  • We wrap up the episode our traditional "rapid fire, rapid response" closure; including: 1. Dayna's views of herself as a leader (style, strength, and weakness), 2. strategies for relationship/trust development, 3. her favorite Empower Adventures aerial course, single zip line, and team building initiative, 4. Dayna's current inspiration, and 5. Dayna's advice for soon-to-be college graduates who are trying to figure out "what's next"
