To cut a long story short, my wife took me on an amazing spiritual journey (still on that path today) the Buddhist monk taught me how to live in the here and the now my leadership mentor changed my life when he said, “Awards are a sign of a great achiever but to be a great leader, you need to give back- what are you doing to give back?”. So, I consulted with 3 people at the time when my family and I were enjoying life on the beautiful Hawaiian islands: My Leadership mentor at the time, a Buddhist monk, and my incredible wife. I experienced all of them to the point where I too became depressed and needed to consider turning things around, Mahatma Gandhi-style: “Be the change you wish to see”! I repeatedly saw signs of micromanagement, employees being burned out, yelled at, mistreated and ultimately isolated.
Yet, there was one thing that constantly disappointed me in all my career positions: how people were being managed (or mismanaged). I’ve managed small to medium-sized multicultural teams in Japan and even found time to invent a JapaneseEnglish SMS text message translation service found on most phones today. From Australia to Taiwan, to Japan and Hawaii, my travels have seen me work in some amazing roles (Leadership, Communications, Emotional Intelligence Trainer, People Strategist, HR Development, Technical Writer, Relationship Manager and Engineer) with top Fortune 500 companies (Ericsson, Nokia, Alcaltel-Lucent, Rakuten).Īlong the way, I have won awards for employee of the year (2010 Hawaiian Telcom) to Leadership awards. I consider myself having a successful career. It was a huge boost to my personal confidence at the time, but it wasn’t until my international travels brought me to Hawaii and Japan that I realized the true essence of its mission.
I joined the Golden Key National Honor Society on June 9 th, 1997 after graduating from La Trobe University, Australia. To make things happier between you and I, I insist on you calling me Gab! My full name is Gabriele Angelo Ciminelli and it has given people enormous trouble over the years! Though it might be a name that sounds like it is from the renaissance era, I can assure you I do love my name.
