Leadership Greater Topeka: Nicole Revenaugh
TK: What was your first job and what did you learn from it?
My first job was working at a sports photography company in Liberty, Missouri while I was in college. This is where I was first introduced to concepts such as product sales, production, and photography, and given my first leadership opportunity in an employment setting. Working 12-15 hours a day in varying weather conditions outdoors taught me strong work ethic that I still use in my law practice today.
TK: What is the best advice you have received?
Be true to yourself.
TK: Who is your hero(s)? Why?
My grandfather, Stew, is one of my favorite heroes. He has demonstrated the value service by being an active leader and servant in his community. Stew is a lifelong learner, mentor, and supporter of the arts - which I also enjoy. At age 84, he enjoyed the attempt of studying string theory just to improve upon his scientific knowledge. He has mentored troubled youth, taught financial literacy to neighbors, and volunteers at our local hospital so that patients have the opportunity to enjoy his company - and a little humor as well. I hope that I can maintain a similar passion for service and dedication to my community just like my grandfather.
