Today, I am honored to be celebrating my 16-Year Work Anniversary with my company! That is a lifetime to some. It feels amazing. The people who I have met, and the things that I have learned on this journey have shaped my life in so many ways. Here are some of the lessons that I have learned over the years... * Work/life balance is crucial. It is important not to lose sight of what you are working for. Take the vacation.  Go to the little-league game. Live a good life.  It is short and you only get ONE. So, work to live, not the other way around.   * Be kind and respectful and greet everyone. Every person in every position. * Give your respect freely but give your trust wisely.  Guard your heart and your personal life. Be discreet. Know the difference between being friends and being friendly. Check your emotions.  Don’t react quickly. Observe silently. Avoid office politics and gossip. * Show up. Be consistent and take action. * Be sincere, intentional and authentic. This goes for both your business and your personal life. * Don’t be afraid to ask people to share their wisdom and experience with you. Share your knowledge with others. * Know the difference between healthy competition and unhealthy “comparisonitis”. * Use the right tools, organize everything, and keep good notes. * Clear is Kind. Keep your communications clear, concise and easy to understand. * Confidence in your abilities and knowing your value is important to your success. Believe in yourself and in your work.

As I am approaching what would have been my 10-year work anniversary with my former employer in the next couple of days, it's a poignant moment to reflect on the significant chapter of my career that I shared with the company. While circumstances may have led me on a different path since then, the memories, experiences, and lessons learned during my tenure hold a special place in my professional journey. 😇 Thinking back on my time with my former employer, I recall a multitude of memories and milestones that defined my career during those past years. From my very first day on the job to pivotal projects, team successes, and personal achievements, each moment contributed to my growth and development personally and professionally. Not forgetting the highs and lows, the challenges overcome, and the camaraderie shared with colleagues who became friends. I'd like to believe that my contributions to the company over the span of almost a decade undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the organization and those I've worked with. Whether it was through innovative ideas, stella performance, or mentorship of others, my presence was felt within the workplace. My dedication and commitment to my role helped, one way or the other, drive the company forward and contribute to its success. As I approach what would have been my 10-year work anniversary with my former employer, I take this opportunity to look ahead with optimism and gratitude for the experiences that have shaped me. While my journey may have taken a new direction, the foundation laid during my time with the company continues to influence my professional growth and aspirations. I will embrace the lessons learned, the connections made, and the memories cherished as I embark on the next phase of my career 🙏. Though the milestone of a 10-year work anniversary with my former employer may now be a bittersweet reminder of the past, it serves as a testament to my DEDICATION, RESILIENCE, and CONTRIBUTION in the professional realm. Here's to honoring🎖 the journey that brought me to where I am today and to embracing the future with enthusiasm and open arms. 🌟 💐

As I approach my one-year anniversary at NewGen IT Technologies Pvt Ltd, formerly VCARE InfoTech Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd, I find myself reflecting deeply. It’s disheartening to see some former colleagues, who were once part of our company, now spreading unfounded rumors after leaving a few months ago. They should recognize that our company provided them ample opportunities for growth, both monetarily and in terms of promotion, opportunities they did not receive in their previous workplaces. There's a saying that resonates deeply with this situation: "People often criticize what they once cherished." It’s clear to me now why this occurs, but it prompts me to question: What do they gain by damaging their own integrity? They left the company under the influence of a former employee who was dismissed by management for poor performance, unethical behavior, and causing significant financial losses to the company. So why propagate such false feedback about a company that once belonged to them as well? Their behavior is truly questionable. If there are genuine concerns, why resort to hiding behind fake identities (including the company's name and their own) to voice them? Valid grievances deserve transparent discussion. Instead of diminishing their credibility, they should pinpoint where improvements are needed and seek resolution openly. Leaving a company should signify personal growth and encourage the same for others. Let’s foster constructive dialogue and leave groundless accusations behind.

As I celebrate my work anniversary today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some invaluable lessons I have gathered in the past year of being a 'Corporate Girlie': ▶ Forging your own path: Cookie-cutter careers are so 1998! Instead of chasing prescribed routes, try carving your own niche - this could well be the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, unlocking hidden potential and leaving an impression which uniquely defines you! ▶ Embracing open doors: Make sure to leave the sugarcoating on your cupcakes and have candid conversations with your mentors on what is working, what isn't and most importantly what you truly want. This will help them help you forge your path! ▶ Intentional Networking: Think beyond Linkedin connections. In-person networking events if utilized tactfully can go a long way in helping you cultivate genuine and powerful connections in the workforce. Practise your elevator pitch and ditch the algorithm to find your real world tribe! ▶ Self - Advocacy: Blowing your own trumphet might not be very fun for a lot of us, but it is important to make sure you articulate your contibutions, celebrate milestones and own your own narrative. In my opinion, self-advocacy is the professional expression of self-value. ▶Embrace Balance: Hobbies have a transformative power which is pretty understated, they act as much needed distractions while granting you fresh perspectives. Make sure to indulge in your 5-9's as deeply as you do in your 9-5. P.s - Happy New Year and here's to a successful 2024!

🎉Happy 1st Work Anniversary to Brittnie Gerard! 🎉 Brittnie is our Office Clerk, who joined us in August of 2023. Here’s what she had to say about her big day: 1- Why did you want to work for/be a part of the Economic Alliance? At first, I did not realize I wanted to, as I started as a temporary employee. However, as I got to know the team and how hard we work to grow a stronger business community, I knew I wanted to stay. 2- What has been the most rewarding part of being on this team? The most rewarding part about being on this team is knowing that what I do every day does matter and is part of the bigger picture. 3- How are you planning on celebrating your anniversary? What excites you about the upcoming year? Hmm… I don’t know how I will celebrate; I haven’t really thought about it until now. Market After Dark is this weekend, and this will be my first time participating in it. I am thrilled to be involved with that! My goal for next year is to grow even more professionally by trying new opportunities and meeting new people. 4- What is your favorite Economic Alliance brand color and why? My favorite EA brand color is teal because it is a great accent color- I even have it in my kitchen.

Please join us in congratulating Matthew Krause on his 10 year work anniversary!

Q: What accomplishment are you most proud of? A: "It is an interesting thing summing up one’s experiences over the course of 10 years. I’m incredibly proud of our team and leadership’s ability to push creative solutions and not being satisfied with the “status quo.” Over the decade, I was given opportunities to use my creativity nature to lead several in-house advancements to the company. This has not only brought fresh, creative solutions to our internal team, but also experiences to our clients that has had a lasting impact on Krause’s outreach. Each one stands as a testament to the importance of a company that allows you the ability to stay curious about the world around each of us and the community at large.
