🌍 Cooke Industries – A Legacy of Leadership and Community 🌍   Thank you to Cliff Cooke and Justin Nichols at Cooke Industries for their dedication to investing in their team and our region. Cooke Industries, a proud family business with a global reach in specialty pool equipment, exemplifies the spirit of giving and community leadership. Their long-standing support of community events and initiatives, including the Northern Mallee Leaders Program, has not only created strong leaders but has also fostered a culture of growth, appreciation, and connection.   At Cooke Industries, giving and appreciation aren’t just words—they’re actions. By investing in their staff, Cooke Industries creates better team members, parents, coaches, friends, and neighbours. Their commitment to leadership doesn’t end with the workplace; it echoes in the community, building individuals who see themselves as others often do—with potential, kindness, and resilience.   After some heavy persuasion from Leticia Price – fellow team member at Cooke Industries and 2022 NMLP Graduate – Demetrious Zaxos joined our program this year as a sponsored participant from Cooke Industries. His journey has been transformative, and we look forward to celebrating his graduation with the Cooke Industries team, reflecting on the growth and impact they inspire in each person they support.   Thank you, Cooke Industries, for making a difference and for inspiring everyone around you to be better, not only in their careers but in every role they play in life. 🌟   #CookeIndustries #CommunityLeadership #FamilyBusiness #NorthernMalleeLeaders #CreatingBetterCommunities #LeadershipThroughGiving

A favorite Nick Saban quote is: "When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that." This mindset applies to career development as well. The 925 plan sets up undergraduates for success by helping them become early investors in their careers. #CollegeStudents #CollegeLife #StudentLife #CampusLife #CollegeStudent #UniversityLife #StudentSuccess #CollegeGoals #CollegeVibes #WorkLife #CareerGoals #OfficeLife #ProfessionalLife #9to5 #JobHunt #CareerDevelopment #CareerPath #CareerGrowth #CareerSuccess #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobSatisfaction #CareerFulfillment #LoveYourJob #MeaningfulWork #JobJoy #PurposeDriven #PassionProject #IndependentLiving #SelfSufficiency #FreedomLifestyle #LiveYourBestLife #SelfReliance #CareerReady #925plan #earlyinvestor

This month's Alumni Spotlight is Henry Decoo from Entech! HOMETOWN: Bronx, NY TITLE: Director of Sales COMPANY: Entech LEADERSHIP YEAR: 2020 How do you stay connected with area professionals? "I stay connected with area professionals by utilizing a mix of networking events, online platforms like LinkedIn, and my participation on the Leadership Sarasota Council and Leadership Alumni Committee. I also engage in industry-specific associations, attend professional development programs, and foster relationships through informal meetings and community involvement to build a strong network of connections." What was the most impactful part about the Leadership Sarasota program? "The most impactful part of the program was getting to go behind the scenes and learning about how all of the different segments of the business community come together to advance the Sarasota community. This helped me to get a better understanding of how I can help to contribute to our community’s growth and prosperity by getting more involved." What’s the best piece of professional advice you have been given? "Solve a problem or go away. We are either helping people achieve their goals or solve their problems. That’s the mentality we need to have when we are conducting business."
