I didn't set out to climb the corporate ladder. I set out to make a difference. A Rise to Leadership: From Tech Support to Strategic Leadership isn't just my story—it is a guide for anyone navigating the grind of career growth, trying to find purpose in the process.

This is not about overnight success. This book is a story of late nights, double shifts, and faith, that there was more on the other side of effort. I started behind a headset in tech support, troubleshooting problems one call at a time. But every role—no matter how small—taught me something bigger about people, systems, and service.

Through project management, healthcare transformation, entrepreneurship, and education, I've come to believe this: leadership doesn't begin with a title. It begins with responsibility, with choosing to show up when it's hard, and with daring to lead before anyone gives you permission.

This book walks you through real project war rooms, career pivots, and purpose-driven moments. You'll see how aligning education with mission—and systems with strategy—can unlock more than just professional success. It can lead to legacy.

Whether you're just starting out, starting over, or standing at a career crossroads wondering if your work really matters—this book is proof that it does.

Because when you choose to lead with integrity, invest in others, and walk by faith, every role becomes part of your rise.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between employee fit with organizational culture and its impact on job satisfaction, performance, and retention. Drawing on a sample of 46 participants from various professional backgrounds, the research explores how alignment between individual personality traits and organizational values influences key workplace outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach—including structured surveys and open-ended interviews—the study examines employees’ perceptions of cultural compatibility and its effect on their motivation and engagement levels. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS to test three core hypotheses concerning the effects of cultural fit on retention, job performance, and satisfaction. Although the results did not yield statistically significant support for the hypotheses, the findings offer valuable qualitative insights into employee attitudes and suggest that perceived cultural alignment does influence workplace behavior and morale. The study concludes with practical recommendations for leaders and human resource professionals to strengthen organizational culture and improve employee experiences through strategic hiring, inclusive leadership, and communication practices."
