This afternoon my team indulged my silliness and we played virtual winter Pictionary while enjoying winter care packages for our final team meeting of the year. There were several incredible learnings, because as strategists we're always looking to connect the dots: - We have some hidden talents in our team including drawing with a mouse on a screen, and guessing winter things from just a few lines. - It's always more fun when families join, and the 5 year old ("5 and three quarters" to be precise) who joined us was better at both than most of us were. - Getting to know if your colleagues prefer gloves or mittens, or sugar vs gingerbread cookies is as important as knowing if they're prepared for the meeting you have after the holidays, because we're all people first (and we will judge you for your sugar cookie recipe! Team Almond Extract forever). May this be your reminder that no matter how much work there is to do, or how serious things can be some days, to take time to laugh and have fun. Sharing some of the incredible artwork (with permission from my team: Emily Goetz, Anna Isaacs and Majlinda Kapllanaj, MBA, CPA). See if you can guess what they are! #teamcigna #teamevernorth #teambuildinggames

During this time of year, things can easily become overwhelming with end-of-year deadlines, holiday gatherings, kids' events, and countless other obligations. But remember, it's important to focus on the step right in front of you, rather than getting caught up in the whole staircase. By taking things one step at a time, you'll be able to navigate through the seasonal chaos with greater ease and peace of mind. #onestepatatime👣 #Focus #employeebenefits #groupbenefits

What do you value most in life? I could go on and on about the collection of movies I have on my bookshelves. I could show you around the small Idaho town where I have grown up and now raise my own family. I could even show you pictures on my phone of that same family and the wonderful times we have shared with one another. All of these are what I value most in my personal life. But what about when it comes to your business? Here at Home Care Pulse, we strive to help our customers by abiding by our own values: Being Client-Focused, Committed, Innovative, and Accountable. It can be hard to always be perfect in every aspect of these values, but every so often, I notice ways in which I have lived by these values. Just yesterday, a wonderful client of mine sent an email requesting some information. I quickly found the answer they were looking for, to which they said, "You are always so quick to respond! Thank you!" That may not seem like a big thing to you, but to me, it means everything. It means that someone recognizes that I am striving to live up to these standards, these values. It means that for this customer, I am becoming a little bit more #clientfocused. It's a new year full of new opportunities to improve and to excel in all we do. And why not start off the year with a pair of socks that remind me of what my values are here at Home Care Pulse? #walkinginourvalues #hcpspirit

It’s the weeeeekend baby… This little phrase takes me back to my youth and Friday mornings on the Gareth Cliff show on 5 FM. Driving to school with my dad, and then later, on my own, it signaled the start of something fun, fun with my friends, no work or school or varsity. Time to let loose and be carefree.. Now as a parent and husband, Friday mornings still give me those it’s the weeeekend baby, feels! Even though the weekend shenanigans are COMPLETELY different, I still love them. Time with my kids and wife, with an unconstrained mind, we all have this sense of freedom, where anything is possible, we almost give our selves permission to think freely about how we want to spend the next 2 days. For the kids it’s usually centered around some form of takeaway(pizza or McDonald’s) time at the park or beach(all day for both days if possible). For us it’s a later, slower start to the day, and then taking the kids on one of the outings, it’s a nice meal somewhere( not McDonalds), just time together mostly outdoors, involving food and a little bit of wine(or beer). I love that I love weekends, I love the work that I do and how I get to do it, but weekends really give me and my family that feeling that anything is possible. #mindfulliving #wellbeing #fulfillment #livingmybestlife #lifestylefinancialplanning #womeninfinance
