Inspired by making a difference in peoples’ lives, Victoria Greenough continues in her 20^th year of health care administration, currently as manger of business development at Great Lakes Caring Home Health, Hospice, and Palliative Care. Drawing upon her strengths in building strong teams, and coaching and mentoring, she leads the strategic expansion of the health care services Great Lakes has to offer. Since joining the health care provider, she has built a sales team resulting in tremendous growth for the company, and it’s her professional goal to continue this process into a regional status. The advice Ms. Greenough can share with the younger generation of women entering the workforce is, “Learn good communication without devices or e-mails. Communicate effectively and verbally. Establish good work ethics and be in the moment.”

As a woman in today’s world, Ms. Greenough feels that her mother has contributed to her success, having wittnessed her work hard as a single mother of three children; she saw the sacrifices that her mother had made and Victoria has tried to carry that forward for her children. She prepared for her career by obtaining a bachelor’s degree in social work, and followed it up by earning an MBA. Since then, her biggest challenge she has had to overcome was being able to identify when it was time to move on and pursue a new position in her career. During her free-time, Ms. Greenough enjoys sailing on the local lake, traveling, and redecorating.
