🌟 Celebrate Your Wins – Big and Small! 🌟 Today, I was reminded of the power in celebrating victories, no matter how big or small. It’s easy to focus on the mountain of tasks ahead or the obstacles we’re still working to overcome, but taking a moment to reflect on progress can be incredibly motivating. Don’t underestimate the impact of sharing these wins with those around you. When we share our victories—whether it’s landing a big client, reaching a personal goal, or just a great meeting—we’re not just boosting our own spirits, we’re also inspiring others to keep moving forward and cheering for each other’s success. So, here’s to embracing every milestone, celebrating each step, and building a culture that values growth and encouragement. 🎉 Keep lifting each other up and sharing those wins! 💪

As we celebrate Easter, a time of renewal and hope, I'm reminded of the transformative journeys we embark on, both personally and professionally. This season, I reflect on my own path of digital transformation and leadership, much like the rebirth nature witnesses every spring. Easter teaches us about the power of starting anew and the strength found in rebirth. In my career, from spearheading digital strategies that doubled conversion rates to leading international teams towards groundbreaking digital adoption, I've witnessed firsthand the impact of renewal and innovation. Each step, from my early days as a consultant to my role in global digital transformation projects, embodies the spirit of Easter: renewal, growth, and the promise of what's to come. Let's embrace this Easter as an opportunity to reflect on our journeys, celebrate our achievements, and look forward with optimism to the paths that lie ahead. Here's to new beginnings, continuous learning, and the endless possibilities that await us in the digital landscape and beyond. Wishing you all a joyful and reflective Easter. #Easter #Renewal #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #Innovation #Personalgrowth

When was the last time your employer thanked you for your hard work? Davy Shanko and I were asked to join JK Moving Services' & CapRelo's executive team meeting today. When we arrived Chuck Kuhn let us know that they simply wanted to thank us for the difference our work is making for the organization. Wow. Can we talk about how good that feels and how important it is? When employees are recognized it: ✨ Boosts morale. (I'm flying high this morning.) ✨ Creates an environment where employees feel valued and respected. (Is there anything more important?) ✨ Increases productivity! (I'm ready to create more amazing content!) ✨ Promotes employee loyalty. (Feeling appreciated makes you want to stay.) ✨ Encourages innovation. (When employees feel valued, they're more likely to share ideas and contribute creatively.)    Beth McNamara thank you so much for your guidance over the past year and your trust in my abilities. Bonus: I'm still learning new things everyday thanks to you. And to all the employers who take the time to say "thank you" to their teams: your acknowledgment means the world to us!

November is the season of gratitude, and there’s so much I’m thankful for—especially my journey at Pella Corporation. Working in the Finance IT team, I’ve experienced firsthand what it means to work at a company that truly cares about its people. A big shoutout to my manager, Sarah Kroes, and her former boss, Praveen Mohan. Their leadership goes beyond metrics and projects. They genuinely care about their team members’ growth, success, and well-being. It’s rare to find leaders who encourage you to not just excel in your role but to dream bigger and help you reach those dreams. At Pella Corporation, it’s not just about building quality windows and doors; it’s about building a caring culture. A culture where teamwork and empathy are as important as innovation. This makes every day here rewarding. To my network: If you’re looking for a place where you can grow professionally while being surrounded by people who truly care, Pella might just be your next chapter. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to share more about why I think this is such a special place. Lastly, I want to ask: Who are you thankful for this season? Let’s spread a little more positivity and gratitude. Franklin Makia Deven S. Dr. Ade Akinrinola Dani B. Kayode (CISA) Barbara Tisi Mohit Gurnani #ThankfulAtWork #WeArePella #PellaCulture 

Major props to one of the giants of ResProp Management, Angela Aguilar, celebrating her five-year anniversary with our team!  👉 Angela is a standout leader in so many ways. Most importantly, she’s a servant leader – she’s always hyper-attentive to the needs of the teams she leads, and digs in to help them get the work done – never afraid to dive deep and help push things forward. 💥But Angela is also a fierce competitor.  Think about the affect Michael Jordan had on anyone who played on the same court–he elevated everyone’s game. On Michael’s court, you can't just show up and play–you come and give it your ALL. 👉 Same with Angela – when she commits to anything, it instantly motivates the team and suddenly they find a new gear to complete something that was previously unreachable. It’s a pleasure to work with you Angela – it’s been great fun (with a huge dose of HARD WORK) to build out ResProp with you.  Last word here – Angela’s work ethic is unmatched. You literally have to peel her away from her work. This passion is infectious and again, is something that motivates everyone around her. Can’t wait to see what the next 5 years bring us–and while we’re at it, let’s make it 50 more! #workanniversary #leader #FAWOMO

🎉 Celebrating One Year of Growth, Challenges, and Impact! 🎉 One year ago, I stepped into the role of Director of Executive Affairs at The Safe Ride Foundation, unsure of what the journey would bring but ready to embrace it fully. Over the past 12 months, I’ve faced challenges that tested my abilities, celebrated wins that reinforced my purpose, and learned lessons I’ll carry for a lifetime. One of the biggest takeaways? Leadership isn’t about knowing all the answers—it’s about showing up, listening, and being willing to grow through the hard moments. What stands out most to me are the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work alongside. From my colleagues to our community partners, you’ve inspired me in ways I can’t fully express. Thank you for making this year one of transformation and purpose. To anyone stepping into something new—whether a job, a leadership role, or a big life change—my advice is simple: Be willing to learn, stay open to growth, and remember that the hard days are often the most rewarding. Here’s to year two and beyond—continuing to grow, lead, and make an impact. 🚀 #community #leadership #careergrowth #LatinaEntrepreneur #CelebratingSuccess #WomenInLeadership

*You add value to people when you value them.* Adding value to others isn’t just about recognition—it’s about showing genuine care, trust, and respect. Let’s start today by appreciating the people around us and making a positive impact!
