Transfer Spotlight

CAROLINE HARRELL Associate Product Manager, Lowe’s

…the best book you will ever read is Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read it every year!

Which League did you transfer from? Junior League of Lee County, AL. I was in graduate school at Auburn University (War Eagle!). I did my provisional year with the Junior League of Atlanta.

What is your current JLC placement? Center for Community Transitions (CCT)

So far, what is your favorite memory with the JLC? Volunteering with Center for Community Transitions has been such a joy! I’ve really enjoyed working alongside the women in the placement and being able to interact with the children CCT serves.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Italy! I love the food, culture and architecture. I’m planning on doing an Italian tour next year- I’d love recommendations!

If you could master a skill that you don’t currently possess, what would it be? Speak a second language! During the Covid-19 quarantine, I’m trying to be diligent about my Duolingo lessons in French.

What is your favorite quote? I don’t really have a favorite quote, but I do have a favorite example of servant leadership. I once heard a former Chick-fil-A associate say that when Dan Cathy (Chick-fil-A CEO) visits a restaurant, he always picks up the trash in the parking lot before going inside. He never mentions it to any of the associates in the restaurant- he does it because it is one thing he can do, that will allow the employees to spend more time with the customer. I often think of the story, as I strive to be a better servant leader at my job, in my community, in the Junior League and among my family and friends.
