Another PR (34'10") and First place finish at regionals last night! Keep working @MakenzieHawk sectionals are on Thursday! Let's go Wolves. I love Track and field because it is a unique sport where athletes compete both as a team and as individuals. Each event highlights personal talent, with athletes striving not only for team success but also to surpass their own personal records (PRs). A PR represents an athlete's best performance, symbolizing personal growth and the pursuit of excellence. This concept teaches valuable life lessons: the importance of setting goals, working diligently, and taking pride in personal progress. Ultimately, success is about outdoing our past selves and continuously pushing our boundaries. Have a great day everyone, make today your own personal record!

I went from factory work and lugging salt bags to a professional sales and marketing position where I developed interpersonal skills, negotiation, and how to appeal to work with older adults.

(2) Think of everyone as a person rather than a “client” every interaction I try to build relationships, and make friends with people. (3) It almost never hurts to just ask. Being able to confidently handle objections with confidence has boosted my self-esteem tremendously. I am becoming less of a pushover in my personal and professional life.

Great panel discussion at ACG Chicago. Great to see technology transforming manufacturing!

Doors are always open for you depends on how you use it when you get the opportunity.

Welcome to day one of a brand new Q2! As you start executing on a fresh focus plan keep this in mind: you won’t get results by focusing on your outcomes... You’ll get results by focusing on the disciplines and the improvements that produce the results you are aiming for. Clear skies ahead… it’s time to take off!!

160 days into my new role as Director of Sierra Club Virginia Chapter! With Session looming, I wanted to share some of the takeaways I wrote down for myself. 1) Slow down - I've started telling myself this every time I get a text, call, or email. I used to make it my goal to rocket through everything. I'm learning a lot by not. 2) Keep the sense of humor - I've found that people I work with really appreciate the ability to knock the seriousness down a peg, yes, we are doing challenging stuff, and the work is hard and complex, but sometimes things are funny! Keep the joy going. 3) We won't be perfect - After I recently remarked: "Well, this is far from perfect!" one of my colleagues said to me on their way out of my office "What's perfect anyway?" Food for thought. I wrote it down. 4) Prioritize people - Something I have noticed, stemming from slowing down, is the appreciation people feel for being asked how they're doing, sharing a life update; something funny, something sad, something scary. I appreciate the trust people place in me to share it. Maybe these are simple, but over the last 160 days of trying to learn to lead in this new and different role, these have been my starting points. With deep appreciation for our team, our leadership, and a renewed focus on our mission to explore, enjoy, and protect the outdoors, on to the next 160 days!
