Resume: Elisha Gabriell
****-****: ARC in Southern California, Sheltered Workshop. Management called me in to the office to ask how I motivated my team. My team of disabled clients (Down’s, Brain Damage, and Autistic) was out performing every other higher functioning team led by leaders with College Degrees. I had no experience and no degree. My answer (shortened for this resume) was, “I love them! I coach them to interact with each other with kindness, and to perform with excellence.”
