At VIRSIG, we believe that innovation begins with a mindset shift. To achieve new heights, we must be willing to think differently, embrace change, and challenge the status quo.

When faced with an obstacle, do you try to go around it, go over it or keep trying to knock it out of the way? 97% of people will keep doing the same thing they have done and hope for a different result. 3% will find a different way to overcome the obstacle. Whether it's advancing our solutions offerings, improving our processes, or empowering our team members, we're committed to stepping out of our comfort zones and always striving for growth and excellence. This week on our Excellence Call, we talked about the importance of new thinking outside of industry standards, not doing what we have always done, finding new ways to achieve our goals, and ultimately, new results. Striving to be the 3% who achieve extraordinary results. 

How are you changing the status quo within your organization? #teamleadership #industryexcellence #breakthenorms #changemakers #securityindustryleaders

Celebrating 10 Years of VIRSIG: A Decade of Dedication and Growth As we mark a decade since the inception of VIRSIG, it's a moment to reflect on our journey and the evolution that has shaped who we are today. What started as a vision to serve those who serve has grown into a mission-driven company guided by our six core values: People Matter: Our team and the communities we serve are at the heart of everything we do. Do the Right Thing: Integrity isn't just a principle—it's our way of life. Long Term vs. Short Term Thinking: We build with the future in mind, ensuring sustainable success. Endless Pursuit of Excellence: Every challenge is an opportunity to raise the bar. Be Heroic: We strive to go beyond the ordinary, with courage and commitment. Never Give Up: Resilience has been key to our growth and will continue to drive us forward. As we look to the future, these values—symbolized in the coin we've created—will continue to guide us in our mission to serve those who serve. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. Here’s to the next decade of excellence, growth, and unwavering commitment! #VIRSIG #10Years #Leadership #CoreValues #ServeThoseWhoServe

At VIRSIG, we believe that one of the keys to success is changing the way we think about our own potential. During our Monday morning call, we explored the concept of limiting beliefs and strategies to overcome them. As Henry Ford wisely said, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right." This powerful quote reminds us that our mindset shapes our reality. If we believe in our abilities, we open the door to endless possibilities. Conversely, if we doubt ourselves, we create barriers that hinder our growth. Here are some key takeaways from our discussion: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs: The first step to overcoming them is recognizing the negative thoughts that hold you back. Challenge and Reframe: Replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. Instead of saying, "I can't do this," say, "I am capable of learning and achieving this." Surround Yourself with Positivity: Engage with people who inspire and motivate you to push beyond your limits. Take Action: Break down your goals into manageable steps and take action, no matter how small. Progress builds confidence. At VIRSIG, we are committed to fostering a culture of growth and excellence by embracing a mindset of possibility and continuing to support each other in overcoming our limitations. How are you fostering growth for your organization or team? #MondayMotivation #GrowthMindset #OvercomingObstacles #TeamVIRSIG #HenryFord #LimitlessPotential #ExcellenceCall

At VIRSIG, we believe that the key to success lies in the strength and commitment of the team and to the team. True commitment involves putting the team’s goals above individual desires. It requires dedication, perseverance, and a shared sense of purpose. Team members must support each other, especially during challenging times. As Phil Jackson says, "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." Take action on this with your team this week by identifying a task where you can assist a teammate who may be struggling or overloaded. Embracing teamwork can lead to remarkable achievements. Remember, a united team can overcome any challenge. Quote: "Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision." - Andrew Carnegie #teamwork #teamleadership #teammates #sdvob #veteranowned #securityteam #securityindustry #corevalues

VIRSIG is excited to welcome Garrett Hicks to the team. Fresh out of the US Navy, where he served as an Intel Analyst, Garrett joins VIRSIG as an Inside Sales Associate. Garrett’s military training, aptitude for complex analysis, and ability to work in a fast paced, time sensitive environment, make Garrett a perfect fit for this role. “Garrett’s decision to join our team further enhances VIRSIG’s capabilities to serve the warfighter” said Dan Kime, VIRSIG’s VP of Federal. “Garrett’s unique ability to see a complex solution and translate it into common language for the customer to understand is vital in our mission to support the warfighter”. Outside of VIRSIG, Garrett, who lives in Augusta, GA, is the lead singer in a country rock band performing gigs around the South and Midwest.

The Essence of a Strong Team At VIRSIG, we believe a strong team is more than just a group of individuals; it’s a cohesive unit working towards a common goal. Key elements include: Trust: Confidence in each other’s abilities and intentions. Communication: Clear, honest, and open dialogue. Mutual Support: Standing by each other through every challenge. Accountability: Each member taking responsibility for their role. Adaptability: Being flexible to change. As Vince Lombardi says, “Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." Here’s a way to take an actionable step as a teammate today - Acknowledge and appreciate a team member's effort either in person, publicly, during a meeting, or send them an email. Small actions can have massive impact. #teamleadership #strongteammates #teamcommunication #teamtrust #teamaccountability
