"What if you don't train them and they stay?" This question from Adrian Miller, shared during her conversation with Matthew Lostaglia on the Business Breakthrough | New York podcast, reminds us of the importance of investing in our team's growth. Just as persistence and authenticity are key in sales, they're equally vital in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported—continuing to build on the strength and dedication that drive our work every day.

🚀 Big Changes Coming to Our Look: Here's What to Expect! Over the next few months, we’re excited to be rolling out a brand transformation across New York. This change is more than just a new look—it’s a better reflection of the incredible work our advisors do every day in their communities. Small business is what we do. As proud New Yorkers and as an organization that served well over 20,000 businesses last year, our work is deeply embedded and connected to the communities we serve. We believe this new direction is a better reflection of that reality. 👉 Explore our flipbook in this post for a sneak peek at some of what is coming as we make this shift. From updates at your local center to a new website (coming soon!), here is some of what you may be seeing on the ground and in your community.

📸 Continuing our celebration of the NYSBDC's 40th anniversary, here's a nostalgic look back at one of our early staff training sessions—a reminder of the dedication and camaraderie that have always been at the heart of our network. Thank you to all who have contributed to our success over the decades! #Throwback #NYSBDC40Years #SmallBusinessSupport

“As we continue to reset, modernize and build on the many successes of our almost 40-year old state network, one word keeps coming to mind. “Fortitude.” The fortitude and unyielding strength to get in the weeds and have the tough conversations. The inner toughness and steadfast steel, that enables us to face challenges head-on and persist despite adversities. Rooted in a deep compassion and belief we have in each other and in our clients, we seek to get better and improve. Much like our clients do every day. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our staff, advisors, and directors. Your dedication, creativity, and unwavering support are the pillars of our organization. Your contributions, both seen and unseen, are what fuel our progress and make our achievements possible. Thank You!” Read more of New York SBDC State Director Sonya Smith’s statement in this year's NYSBDC annual report: https://lnkd.in/eCeZAT3R
