However, don’t lose sight of the fact that there are always unique candidates and companies out there that stand out and who are doing something special. A few years ago, I had the privilege of participating in a unique training session in Ann Arbor, MI, where I met and learned from Ari Weinzweig and his wonderful team at ZingTrain. It was the most enjoyable onsite training experience I have ever had. We learned well, ate extremely well and built lasting relationships along the way. I have been a raving fan of Zingerman’s ever since. in 𝘈 𝘓𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, Ari shares that uniqueness radiates from those that - have a vision, the courage to buck trends, and a commitment to excellence. They believe in a better tomorrow, contribute positively to others, and go the extra mile. They build great relationships, have fun, appreciate their achievements, and persist through challenges. As someone who routinely speaks to company executives and individual business professionals, I am increasingly confident that there is a lot more uniqueness out there than many realize. Companies with exciting plans and visions for growth. Candidates with unique achievements and styles of performance, eager to contribute in even more meaningful ways. Let's start this week by recognizing and celebrating those unique individuals and organizations that bring a special energy to our work and lives. Better is within our reach, and together, we can make it happen. Have a great start to the week!
