"A Year of Growth and Gratitude: Reflecting on Our Journey Together" As we approach the end of the year and the holiday season, it's the perfect time to pause and reflect on the journey we've taken. This year has been filled with challenges, triumphs, and countless moments of growth. 🌟 Home and Family: Amidst the hustle and bustle, let's take a moment to appreciate the warmth and love of our homes and families. They are our anchors, providing support and joy through every twist and turn. Gratitude: Let's count our blessings and express gratitude for the opportunities we've had, the lessons we've learned, and the people who have been by our side. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. Looking Back: Reflect on how far you've come this year. What were your biggest wins? What did you wish you had done better? It's important to acknowledge both our successes and our areas for improvement. Regrets and Wins: We all have moments we wish we could change, but it's those very moments that shape us. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, and learn from your regrets. They are stepping stones to a brighter future. As we move forward, let's carry the lessons of this year with us and embrace the new year with hope and determination. Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. 🎄✨

Happy Thanksgiving to All !! Today, I pause to reflect on the incredible journey that began with my first, tentative steps two decades ago—a journey fueled by dreams, determination, and the remarkable people who joined along the way. Over the years: 1. Projects transformed into meaningful journeys, weaving stories of collaboration, growth, and lifelong friendships. 2. Guidance from some of you became the compass steering me forward. 3. Challenges taught resilience, turning setbacks into stepping stones. 4. Failures revealed lessons that shaped wisdom. 5. Successes became the foundation of collective achievements, reminding me of what we can accomplish together. To my colleagues, customers, advisors, and everyone—whether at the forefront or behind the scenes—you have shaped this incredible journey, and for that, I am profoundly thankful. As I look back, I am filled with gratitude not just for the milestones but for the beauty of this shared experience we call life. Here’s to continuing this journey together, embracing every challenge, success, and lesson the future holds. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with joy, gratitude, and inspiration.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. But can we talk about something for a second? Why do we only take one day a year to say “thank you”? To appreciate the people in our lives? To reflect on what we’re grateful for? Life moves fast. We spend most of it chasing the next goal, the next milestone, the next big thing. And it’s so easy to forget the little things: → That friend who checks in on you randomly. → That colleague who makes work feel less like work. → That stranger who held the door when you were in a rush. Here’s what I’ve learned: - Gratitude isn’t just about the big wins. - It’s about noticing the small moments that make life beautiful. So, this Thanksgiving, let’s try something different. Let’s not just say “thank you” today. Let’s carry it with us—every day, in every way. - Tell someone they matter. - Appreciate the small joys. - Celebrate the now. Because life doesn’t wait for a holiday to give us moments worth being thankful for. P.S.: What’s one thing you’re most thankful for this year?

As we head into Thanksgiving 🦃 week, I’ve been reflecting on gratitude and the journey that has brought me to where I am today. The truth is, every step—whether it felt like a leap forward or a stumble at the time—played a role in shaping me. Not every chapter of my career was smooth or pleasant, but each one taught me something invaluable. Just as we grow and learn in personal relationships, we also evolve through the lessons we gain from every company, team, colleague and manager we encounter. Each experience, good or challenging, builds our resilience and expands our perspective. Over the past eight months at Mews I’ve had the chance to grow in ways I didn’t expect, supported by a team that inspires me every day. These months have been a period of learning, adapting, and discovering new strengths. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had here and for the past experiences that prepared me for this moment. Gratitude isn’t about glossing over the hard times—it’s about recognizing their role in bringing you to where you are. And this week, I’m feeling especially thankful for the journey, the lessons, and the people who’ve helped me along the way. On a lighter note, I’m also grateful for this gorgeous hand-painted Bacharach platter I thrifted recently—it’s going to be perfect for my Thanksgiving table! Here’s to growth, resilience, and small treasures that make life even sweeter. #Gratitude #ThanksgivingWeek #Reflection #CareerGrowth #LessonsLearned #HospitalityIndustry #Teamwork #Thankful #ProfessionalJourney #Mews #GrowthMindset #Resilience #LearningEveryDay #SmallWins

🦃 Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! As we celebrate the season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to acknowledge those who may be navigating the job search or feeling stuck in their career right now. The holidays can be challenging when you’re between jobs or not where you want to be professionally. But here’s the truth: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵. This Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to focus on the progress you’ve made, even if it feels small. Acknowledge the wins that don’t always get celebrated: 🌟 The determination to show up every day and keep moving forward. 🌟 The strength to learn and grow, even in the face of setbacks. 🌟 The meaningful relationships and connections you’ve built along the way. Give yourself permission to pause and appreciate how far you’ve come. You are doing meaningful work—even if it’s behind the scenes—and the right opportunity is on the horizon. If this season feels heavy, know that you don’t have to carry it alone. My inbox is always open if you need encouragement, advice, or just someone who gets it.

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, focusing on what we lack rather than what we have. We may measure our success by the latest gadgets, our job titles, or the number of followers on social media. But true gratitude comes from recognizing the simple yet profound elements of our existence. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let us cultivate an attitude of gratitude that extends beyond this holiday. By regularly reflecting on what we’re thankful for, we can foster a more joyful and fulfilling life. So this Thanksgiving, take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the abundance that surrounds you. What are you truly thankful for? Let that question guide you as you celebrate this season of gratitude.

This Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on gratitude—not just for the season, but as a mindset that shapes how we connect, work, and grow together. We’re incredibly thankful for the people who make our work meaningful—our team, clients, and partners. Your trust, collaboration, and inspiration fuel everything we do. Here are three things we’re especially grateful for this year: Our community: The relationships we’ve built with colleagues, clients, and friends remind us of what truly matters. Trust and connection: Your trust motivates us to create meaningful work that supports your growth and success. Moments that matter: From shared laughter to inspiring conversations, these moments enrich our journey. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, joy, and appreciation. Let’s carry this gratitude into the months ahead and create new opportunities together.

Weekend Wisdom "Being Thankful" As we gear up to celebrate our Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to share my thoughts on the ability, desire, and intention to be thankful. Being thankful is not just a reaction to a good day, only being thankful on Thanksgiving weekend or a major win—ideally, it's an intentional daily practice that can transform your life, business, and the people around you. When we make gratitude a habit, it shifts our mindset to one of abundance and positivity. This energy not only fuels our personal growth but also creates a ripple effect in our business relationships and interactions. While I have always believed I was grateful, I never really thought about it and the impact it can have on me on a daily basis. Over the past 13 years significant changes and events occurred in my life, and I can now say that I am grateful on daily basis. Not because it is a diary item, but due to the fact that I am and it fuels me to be better, do more, care more about people that matter and show up in a respectful way. Some people are in a way bigger and grandiose place in their life or business than I am, and some are not. Regardless, I am grateful for where I am and the people that I surround myself with. My amazing wife Bonita is always at the very top of the list and my life is much better because of her impact, and the bonus is that she also shares her gratitude on a daily basis. In the fast-paced world of business, careers and life, (All the moving parts are part of LIFE) it’s easy to focus on goals, metrics, and outcomes. But taking time each day to appreciate what we have—our family, our team, clients, and opportunities—deepens connections and boosts morale. Gratitude fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and inspires a culture of appreciation. When people feel valued, they’re more engaged and committed to their work, family, and life overall. By practicing thankfulness every day, we create a more positive, productive environment that benefits everyone around us. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and may we be thankful everyday, not just once a year. #Gratitude #PositiveMindset #Thankfulness #Leadership Kris Schinke, MBA Hasan Ahmed Anoushka Fernandes X5 Management Brent Collingwood, M.Ed., CEC, CFL Gina Boucher Jason Donkersgoed, MA (Leadership), ACC Ingrid Carleton
