🙌Our 2024 seasonal kickoff meeting was a HUGE success! 💯A few key takeaways… ✅I’m extremely transparent. With our gross and net numbers, successes and missed opportunities, and performance. ✅We had 6 new employees and this kickoff meeting, and I’m so incredibly proud of my team for welcoming them the way they did. ✅The leadership I saw from my guys blew me away. We had guys stepping up, and basically cutting me off, to train the new guys. Am I offended? NO. I’m so incredibly proud to have a bunch of LEADERS on my team. ✅We discussed safety. Over and over again…ALWAYS. It matters most. ✅We celebrated 3 promotions today. And they were so well deserved. ✅We may hit our targets, or we may not. But if we are all safe, happy, and creating careers, while maintaining healthy growth, we are WINNING. ✅The things that were said about each other and our company by our team had me choked up. Building a team this strong and supportive is rare, but we did it. And no matter what anyone tells me, I know we are different, and that’s what’s so special. 🚀Here’s to our 20th season! We got this… let’s go! #teamwork #theprocessceo #wegotthis #homeservices #powerwash #powerwashing #softwashing #windowwashing #guttercleaning #getjobber Clearview Washing, LLC Jose Romero Fred Hodge Jr

9.30.24 Hello, my friends! Today, I want to talk to you about something incredibly important that many of us tend to overlook in our fast-paced lives: taking time off… some have noticed… I took some time away from posting my activities. Life can be a whirlwind, with work, responsibilities, and stress pulling us in every direction. But here’s the thing: when you’re constantly on the go, it’s easy to lose sight of your goals, both personal and professional. Taking time off allows us to regroup, take a step back, and assess where we are on our journey. It’s a chance to reflect on our accomplishments, learn from our setbacks, and realign focus. Have you ever noticed how a break from the routine can reignite your passion and focus? It allows you to step away from the daily grind, gain fresh perspectives, and return with a renewed sense of purpose. You’ll find that you’re more motivated and energized to tackle challenges and pursue your dreams. With that being said… “I’m baaack” #bakersfieldcommunutyhealthcare #communityliaison #bakersfieldca #kerncounty

🌟 Celebrating Wins Together: The Heartbeat of Our Success 🌟 In the fast-paced world we navigate, taking a moment to pause and celebrate our wins—big or small—within our teams is not just a moment of joy, but a crucial pillar that supports our collective success. It's these moments of recognition and celebration that build the foundation for strong, enduring relationships within our team. 🎉 Why is celebrating so important, you ask? Because it fosters a sense of belonging and appreciation, it reinforces our purpose and drives, and most importantly, it nurtures a culture where each team member feels valued and understood. Building relationships within the workplace is more than just networking; it's about creating a family that supports each other through highs and lows. It's about understanding and appreciating the diverse talents and perspectives that each member brings to the table. These relationships are the scaffolding on which we can lean when challenges arise and the network we celebrate with when milestones are achieved. But beyond the celebrations and relationships, at the core of our endeavors, must be a love for what we do. It’s this passion that ignites innovation, fuels perseverance, and inspires excellence. Loving what you do transforms work from obligation to excitement, turning everyday tasks into opportunities for growth and achievement. And what does this love allow us to celebrate? Not just the success of our projects, but the journey we embark on together. The late nights, the brainstorming sessions, the unwavering dedication—it’s all part of a narrative that culminates in moments worth celebrating. So, let’s make a promise to not only chase success but to savor it together. Let's commit to building relationships that transcend the professional and delve into the personal, fostering an environment where love for our work and for each other is the norm, not the exception. Because at the end of the day, it’s these moments of joy, this sense of community, and the love for what we do that truly define our success. Here's to celebrating every win, nurturing every relationship, and loving every moment of our journey together. 🥂🚀📈 #Teamwork #Celebration #WorkplaceCulture #PassionForWork #ProfessionalGrowth #SuccessTogether

When asked whether I want the medium or large pizza, I always go big. When buying a new TV the same bias plays out (could a tv be too big?). I’ve been conditioned to believe that big is always better. As my career progressed, I found that the closer my roles took me towards the corporate headquarters the greater the burdens of bureaucracy and egos. I remember fondly the peace that I felt during my Disney Cruise Line days, when I was on board the ship deep in the Caribbean. When I joined the Disneyland team the moat around my castle consisted of the traffic congestion from Burbank to Anaheim. That wasn’t quite the defense that I had hoped for because the people senior to me all had drivers. To be fair, it was a small contingent seeking a photo op that would spoil my mood; others were strong supporters of what we were doing. Such is the reality in the world of large corporations. There is no denying that what I learned at Disney was invaluable and prepared me for life outside the kingdom, but there came a time to move on. When I joined Cedar Fair (now Six Flags….) I knew my world was going to be different in a lot of ways. Cedar Fair’s valuation was a fraction of Disney’s and lacked the wealth of resources that Disney could bring to bear. At Disney, the brand was front-and-center in every conversation. Cedar Fair didn’t have a consumer brand, it relied on the consumer loyalty to the individual parks. There is a much longer list of what my new employer didn’t have, but fortunately that included the absence of the bureaucratic burdens I mentioned above. As the CEO of Cedar Fair, I found a freedom that just isn’t available in large corporations. The team I inherited was as talented as those I worked with in Orlando and Anaheim. They didn’t have experience dealing with the scale of the larger parks, but the breadth of their individual responsibilities was greater – it had to be, there were a lot fewer of them. Every one of the senior team reported directly to me, there were no double-dotted-lines or confused loyalties. Cedar Fair will never have the level of resources that exist at a Disney or Universal. Where it shines over those giants is the productivity of each member of the team. Fewer people, means fewer layers, means fewer meetings, means more empowerment, means more accountability and arguably more fun. A small group of us made the decisions, tasked the operators to bring those decisions to life and lived with the consequences. No one competed for the credit when things went well, we were all in it together. I still believe bigger is always better when it comes to pizzas and tv’s, but at least for one chapter of my career, less was more. P.S. Whether you are in a big company, or a smaller one always ask yourself are you still learning? Are you gaining skills and making yourself more valuable? Adding tools to your toolbox is the key to moving forward.

Great insight on the trade-offs between large corporations and smaller teams. It's true that fewer layers can lead to more empowerment and ownership, which often drives greater productivity. In my experience, the most rewarding environments are those where every team member has a direct impact

The recent Burger King Halloween/Joker/Blackface controversy is a clear reminder: without diversity on teams, cultural awareness falls through the cracks. I came across a comment saying "People of color are tired of calling this stuff out; it's not our job," and while I get the frustration, I have to disagree. I can’t expect my coworkers to be fully aware of my culture, just like I won’t know everything about theirs. It’s on all of us to speak up and educate each other when something’s off. That’s how we grow and actually move forward together. If we can’t connect on this level, are we really working as a team, or just getting things done in isolation?

I always enjoy my morning commute to school with my 11 year old and 15 year old daughters, Charlotte & Maggie (pictured). They were stressed this am (Finals week at school). We woke up early so they could get their favorite Starbucks Refreshers and my morning wisdom to them was "Life is about enjoying the ride not just the achievement or outcome". We've all heard this old adage: "Enjoy the ride" or the "Present is a gift". Applying this to what we (Service Council™) talk about: #digitaltransformation, #fieldservice, #changemanagement, I started to think about what would make what is often a negative/difficult experience fun? Here are a couple things: 1. Involve your A team & stay humble: from leadership to middle mgmt to frontline (#fieldserviceengineer), everyone down the line has an oppty to learn and establish a new relationship or level of respect with/for a colleague. 2. Be present: stay involved from concept > tear down > rebuild > celebration. Jim Bohn, Ph.D talks about being an "Architect of Change" who is present for all these phases. 3. Celebrate achievement & levity: allow for levity and your team to play "loose" and communicate these celebratory moments often. Maggie and Charlotte sent me this picture after our ride to school. Glad they are playing loose today! I'm confident the results will follow...

When we envisioned the idea of F&O Masterclass under the banner of CNBC_Awaaz, it seemed to be a very daunting task as a team to put together something that none of us had ever done before. But the phenomenal success story that has been crafted with the completion of Season 2 now, has been nothing short of a miracle! However, miracles don't happen! 🙄 This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible #teamwork, cross-functional #collaboration, and unwavering dedication of the entire team. From the initial #brainstorming sessions to the flawless execution, all of us from completely different functions came together seamlessly. We leveraged our own unique #strengths, creating a synergy that powered us to unprecedented heights. The spirit of collaboration is truly what sets a team apart and fuels success. It's also a testament of the amazing culture of an organization, where support, open communication, and a shared vision are the cornerstones of everything that is done! ✨ I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved together. But what excites me even more is the future. As a united team now, I know we can push boundaries, break new ground, and achieve even greater things together. And of course, teams that party together, stick together! 😉 #teambonding #collaboration #success #companyculture #proudmoment #grateful Puneet Singhvi Smriti Mehra suma nair Vaishali Bhardwaj Dirgha Joshi Dipika Kapoor Sonali Hans gitanjali vasudeva Tajuddin Khan Srishti Mukherjee Anuj Singhal Hrushikeish Shinde and so many others who worked day and night to make this happen! ❤️
