Growing Skills While Managing It All: A gener8tor Skills Conversation with Shiloh Meeks
In this episode of our gener8tor Skills Impact Series, Anne Nadel sits down with Shiloh Meeks, Travel Coordinator at the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, to talk about how building the right skills can strengthen both confidence and capability at any stage of life.
As a mother of three balancing work and family, Shiloh needed learning that fit into her real world schedule. Through gener8tor’s virtual, self paced model, she was able to complete coursework on her own time, often in the evenings, with success coaches who adapted to her availability and supported her career growth along the way.
What made the experience meaningful was not just what she learned, but how quickly she applied it.
In a role that changes daily, Shiloh immediately began using her new skills to better support community members, organize projects like a growing annual tree lighting ceremony, and handle everyday IT challenges with greater independence. The layered foundation in customer service, project management, and technology created impact she could see right away.
A few highlights from the conversation:
• Flexible, self paced learning made it possible to build new skills while balancing work and family
• Success coaches worked around her schedule and supported her resume development
• Customer service, project management, and IT foundations translated directly into real world impact
• Immediate application of skills strengthened her confidence in a dynamic community facing role
Shiloh’s message is simple and powerful: “Take the leap of faith and try it.”
