She believes that "doing it yourself" does not mean "doing it alone," and her goal is for customers at Lowe's to not only find the tools and supplies they need for their projects but also benefit from expert assistance.
Simplifying the Shopping Process
Goodbull emphasizes that her job is to remove any barriers from the home improvement process. She says, "My job is to eliminate all friction and present our associates as superheroes." With the growing trend of DIY (do-it-yourself) projects and the increasing use of online resources like YouTube and TikTok, she helps customers approach their projects with more confidence.
