Rita Dee and Adele Lampley: A Perfect Career-Building

Rita Dee has been helping individuals navigate their personal and professional challenges since joining The Choice Group as a counselor in 2015. One of her clients is Adele Lampley, who has been with her current employer in the food industry for seven years, thanks in part to the support and guidance she has received from Rita. Adele has taken on more responsibility throughout her employment. She started in utilities and quickly moved to making chips, preparing taco shells, keeping the dining area clean and sanitized, and even setting up catering.

The employees at Adele’s place of employment loudly greet patrons when they enter, which is a perfect fit for her personality. She loves to welcome customers and never misses the opportunity to do so.

As her counselor, Rita has helped Adele navigate the challenges of her job and gain practical tools and strategies to manage the demands of her job. One such example is when she campaigned for a user-friendly timer to ensure Adele could successfully work as a prep associate. Through their work together, Adele has been able to improve her communication skills, which helped her advocate for being given additional responsibilities at work. She has even completed her Food Handler Certification. But it is Adele’s love for learning and working as a team alongside her co-workers that has allowed her to truly shine in her role. Her hard work and dedication to her job have led to her having been selected to work special events at the restaurant.

Keep up the wonderful teamwork, Adele and Rita!
