2024 Top Young Professionals Honoree: Graham Christensen, 33, Vice president of market rate development at Douglaston Development For Christensen, staying humble is a secret to success. His strength is “listening and understanding that everyone in the room, oftentimes, is smarter at certain things than I am,” he said. That means “being comfortable putting my hand up when I don’t understand something, but also trusting that we’ve hired the right people to do the job and making sure they’re in a position to succeed. 🔗 Read the full profile: https://lnkd.in/eMxgJcUy #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #COYoungProfessionals

I’m really impressed with my clients at Count Accountants for being recognised as finalists in THREE categories in these forthcoming business awards. 👉Founder John Mauchline invited me to work with, not his business for growth strategy, but his TEAM. His approach from that very first conversation about empowering his team to steer the growth of the company as they are most connected to the customers, is reflected in being a finalist for Employer of The Year. 👉The work we did together as one large team went deep into customer experince, as a service business it’s the core of all growth activity and over many weeks we explored requirements before designing solutions. So wonderful recognition of the teams work to see them finalists for Excellence in Customer Service. 💫This is why the resulting finalist recognition for Business Growth award doesn’t surprise me, when your people and your clients are at the heart of all your planning, growth results! It’s rare for this team to talk about themselves, they are all about their clients. So much so if you set foot in their offices you’ll be served coffee and delicious treats from thier own clients that are businesses in hospitality. They provide clients with referrals and relentlessly pursue good causes you may never hear about. They do this to support their community, not marketing. So please join me in celebrating their recognition! 👏 And if you’re looking for a good accountancy service… 👇🏼 Count Accountants Good luck team 🙌 #businessgrowth #customercentric #team

Stratford has been supporting clients execute better results. Here's what Sueling Ching, President & CEO at Ottawa Board of Trade, had to say about our Strategic Planning & Implementation services: "Right from the beginning, the Stratford team expressed a desire to align with our goals. They balanced respect and professionalism with the confidence to challenge our assumptions and biases, including my own. The result was a stronger plan than I had expected, and a validation of our mission, vision and values." For more on how we can help you, click here: https://hubs.li/Q02wJsSk0

We asked James Green, our Regional Director, what some of the biggest challenges he has faced in his career are. One stood out to us. James Green’s career has always carried an extra layer of expectation. As the son of Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere, success and failure often came with assumptions: “It was always assumed – if I did well, it was because of him. If I didn’t, I wasn’t good enough.” James epitomises the deVere ethos. He took that weight and turned it into action, channelling this energy into hard work and ultimately progressing his way from the very bottom to the top of the company. This year, for the first time, James and Nigel worked together in the same office. What once felt like a challenge has become one of deVere's unique strengths, amounting in some of the most progressive and innovative years we have had as a company. We continue to advocate that great things happen when you embrace challenge. . . . #drivetoexcel #leadershipgrowth #deveregroup #familybusinesssuccess #careerchallenges #leadershipinsights
