The Leadership Spotlight Shines On: Shelia Foster


1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family hobbies; past business highlights.
I was born in Ft. Campbell, KY on a military base, I lived in Germany mostly until my dad retired and we moved to Vicksburg, MS at the age of 9. I currently reside in Dallas, Texas. My hobbies include watching and attending sporting games. I love traveling. I am a diehard Lebron James fan, but I love all sports.I currently work as a healthcare executive overseeing a skilled nursing care facility.

2.​ How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet has been a great adventure for me. I have grown in so many ways. I have been able to meet so many people in different areas of life. The networking has taught me the true meaning of how important your circles matter.

3​. What drives you​;​ what motivates you?
I am driven by the desire to want a life that gives me the utmost happiness. At the age of 53, I have always done for others and I refuse to keep putting my happiness off. I am motivated by my children and grandchildren; I want them to understand that life is more than a job. That anybody can build their ideal life.

4. Who would you consider​ a​ role model and why?
My mother is my number one role model. She died years ago but she taught me to live life on my own terms. She told me to never settle. Do not make yourself small because others may be offended by your greatness. Be the authentic you!  She had 4 kids by the age of 21 and raised them all successfully. She never made any excuses and finished nursing school and became a pillar in her community.

5. The three words that describe me​ best​ are​:  
Confident, competitive, and ambitious.

6​.​ If you had​ some sound advice to give​ to anyone​ what would​‌ ​it be? 
My sound advice would be to set goals and then crush them. Never give yourself an excuse and never think you can't. To always have the attitude of "Why Not Me!"

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In 5 years I will be retired. I will be traveling the world, and living life on my own terms.
