Women in Restaurant Leadership (WiRL)’s Post

💫 WiRL 2026 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT 💫 Devon Croom, PMP, CSM, CSPO, SHRM, ACS-CF, HDI, Senior Team Leader, Networking | Chick-fil-A Restaurants Before she became a John Maxwell–certified trainer, speaker, and coach—and the first in her family to earn a Master’s degree 🎓—Devon was serving up smiles (and seafood platters!) at Hardee’s and Hugo’s 🦞🍤. Her favorite color? A bold, powerful red ❤️—fitting for a woman who leads with heart, conviction, and purpose. ✨ What she’s most proud of: Career: “Becoming a John Maxwell Trainer, Speaker, and Coach, and being a first-generation Master’s degree holder.” Personal: “Becoming an author and minister.” 🌟 What gives her hope: “My diverse background and experience can have a positive impact on anyone, regardless of their background. I can’t wait to see an even broader representation of women from all ethnicities in leadership.” 💬 #WhyWiRL: “WiRL is a group of women who aren’t competing—they’re celebrating each other and encouraging everyone to do their best. I love being a north star and a model for many to follow. But I’m also still becoming—and WiRL has women who inspire me to keep growing.” 🎤 Catch Devon on the Claiming Your Space: Speaking with Authority, Visibility & Confidence panel at WiRL 2026. 👉 View the full agenda: https://lnkd.in/euFbvnh3 + register here: https://lnkd.in/esSTdTqt
