I’m BACK………………. I’m back from paternity leave, my family has grown from two to five in just 3.5 years! The newest addition joined us at the close of last year, and the time away allowed us to strengthen our family bonds and gain the clarity to get organized. Raising three kids under four is a challenge both physically and mentally, but my wife and I are dedicated to nurturing emotionally well-rounded and brilliant human beings. As I return to work, I find myself surprisingly more grounded than ever. This journey has instilled in me a greater purpose and a simplified execution model: “Small, consistent actions bring about great achievements.” In the coming year, my team and I are shifting our focus to consistency within our execution model. We’re transitioning from annual goal setting to quarterly goals to maintain a steady momentum. We’ll be diligent in inspecting what we expect, embracing a culture of reassessment and fast failure. On the home front, I am committed to ensuring my personal and family life thrives, recognizing that this is the greatest gift I can offer both to my family and my team. A huge shoutout to my amazing team for holding down the fort during my paternity leave. Remember, leadership starts at home—never forget it! Excited for the journey ahead, Happy New Year. “You are your first investment” #FamilyFirst #Leadership #consistency #verizon #paternityleave

This is what we've learned over the last two decades: If you want to be successful in business, you must be willing to let go. The way you've "always done it" isn't necessarily the best way. #businesslessons #corporatelaw #anniversary

Hi everyone! Mark Maxfield here, CEO of The Cottages Assisted Living & Memory Care. Those who work for me know that culture is one of the most important things to me for my company. I hired a company President a little over a year ago, which has allowed me to work on the growth and culture of my company. Culture is often what you see, hear, and feel when you walk into your place of business. For me it would be one of our assisted living communities. Recently we had all of our community summer BBQs. I was able to go to ten of them and they were fantastic. I’ve been very impressed with how many people from our other communities showed up to help their sister communities. They assisted with preparing the meals, setting up decorations, and cleaning up. It involved a lot of work. So, my message for you leaders this month is, are you fostering an environment in your culture where people feel comfortable helping other people do their jobs? That means you have to be ok with cross training and cross supporting, so that people don’t feel siloed and like it’s a competition. It shouldn’t feel like a competition. Instead, it should feel like, this is our team. This is our company. How can we help each other to be successful? That’s one thing that I’ve noticed that is really improving in our company. I’m so proud of that and great job everyone! As a leader that is something you can look forward to as well. Making sure that everyone feels safe so that they feel like they can help everyone. In so doing, your entire company will be successful. See you next time.  #cottagespride #assistedliving #longtermcare #seniorliving #seniorcare #seniors #healthcare #improvelives #deliverqualitycare #caregiveroftheyear

Returning to work after maternity leave was both exciting and challenging. Was it easy? No, not at all. It's been an incredible journey of self-discovery, balancing family life, and pursuing my career passions. During this time, I've learned the importance of self-compassion, setting boundaries, and having a strong support system in place. It wasn't always easy, but I've returned to the workplace feeling more empowered than ever. For all the working moms out there, remember that taking that maternity leave doesn't mean you're taking a step back. It's a pause to recharge and come back stronger. Your journey is unique and valuable. 💖 Let's share our experiences and support each other on this incredible path of motherhood and career growth. 🤗🌷 #WorkingMom #MaternityLeave #CareerGrowth PS: What emotions did you have when returning back to work?

Here’s what no one tells you: Motherhood isn’t just a journey—it’s the ultimate crash course in time management, prioritization, and emotional intelligence. Before I became a mother, I thought I had control over everything. I could plan my day to the minute, and if things didn’t go as expected, I could pivot with ease. But motherhood? It’s a whole new level of multitasking and problem-solving—one that demands more than any job description ever could. Motherhood has taught me to: 1. Make quick, smart decisions with limited information. 2. Stay calm under pressure, no matter how chaotic things get. 3. Lead with empathy, understanding the needs of those around me—whether it's my team at work or my children at home. And here’s the part that often gets overlooked: These skills have made me a stronger leader in the workplace. I’ve become more adaptable, more compassionate, and more strategic about where to focus my energy. Hiring moms isn’t just about filling a position—it’s about bringing on board individuals who excel at multitasking, lead with heart, and know how to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments. To all the working moms out there, know this: You’re not just balancing work and family—you’re mastering leadership at its finest, every single day. How has motherhood shaped your career? Let’s celebrate the lessons we’ve learned and the strength we bring to the workplace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ambika Soorappaiah #WorkingMoms #Leadership #HireMoms #Adaptability #CareerGrowth #Motherhood
