CSSC’s Post

Two decades fly by in a blink when shared with the right people. Recently, I had the honor of celebrating a 20 year work anniversary with a colleague who had been a cornerstone of our team. It's moments like these that remind us of the immense value in building strong, lasting relationships at work. The bonds we've crafted over these years have weathered challenges and celebrated victories. Here’s what I've learned from two decades alongside incredible people: → Shared purpose is powerful. When everyone rallies around a common goal, it transforms daily tasks into meaningful pursuits. → Trust is the glue. It's the foundation that holds us together through tough times and amplifies our triumphs. → Celebrate every win. Big or small, victories keep us motivated and remind us why we started this journey together. → Empathy elevates. Understanding and supporting each other’s unique strengths fosters a thriving environment. Reflecting on two decades, it’s clear that the people around us make the journey worthwhile. We’ve not only built an outstanding team but a work family. As we look forward to more years ahead, I’m grateful for every lesson learned and every moment shared. To everyone in my professional sphere: thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

19 years is a long time for a small business to survive, much less thrive, especially in tech. These elements have seen me through and kept me passionate about, and relevant in, this space: 💡 Curiosity: An almost endless curiosity about business challenges & how technology might play a role in the solutions 🥨 Flexibility: More than just adapting to change, our team thrives on change and get bored when things are static 🤝 Integrity: We're not bound to external sales goals or growth targets, and our clients know we care about their success more than we care about an extra dollar 🌐 Global impact: We've touched hundreds of millions of lives with our education, financial and health solutions, leaving things better than we found them Let's see what we accomplish in this next year! #wosb #smallbiz #femaleEntrepreneur #womenintech

Next week marks my 1-year anniversary serving at Simmons Capital Group and Steward Advisors Group. Here are some of the principles and goodies I've gleaned in this past season: 💰 People > Profit. Sustainable business has been a result of relationships, integrity, and culture. 🧠 Money effects everyone differently, but it does effect us. ☀️ It is powerful to see someone's stress leave their shoulders and eyes in a moment, simply by bringing clarity their situation. Truth and honesty is POWERFUL. 📈 Most people resonate moving away from sufficiency ("Do I have enough?") and towards efficiency ("What CAN I do with the resources I have?"). ⁉️ Many people struggle with the transition from working, steady income, and saving to a work optional lifestyle and drawing income from investments. I would guess this comes from the sufficiency problem (listed above) and limited data set of understanding how things operate. 🎙️ I am BLOWN AWAY how much I love this work and how purpose-driven it is. Ministry and caring for others doesn't stop when you engage the business world. In many ways, my ability to love and serve others has amplified! Many other things to note, but this is enough for now. I am very thankful for this new adventure! Further up and further in, as they say.

Happy 1st Work Anniversary Hensalin🎉! As we celebrate your first year with us, we want to recognize your achievements and express our gratitude for all you bring to the team. Your impact over the past year has been instrumental, and we look forward to your continued success✨. #WorkAnniversary #EmployeeMilestone #CelebratingSuccess #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #UniqzTechnologies #DigitalMarketing #Itservices #Webdevelopment

How do you choose the right pension provider for your employees? For anyone faced with the uneneviable task of having to make this choice, you should make FTRC your go-to resource. They have the most comprehensive question set I have ever seen and an ability to instantly compare multiple products in a like-for-like comparison. At a reasonable cost. It’s impartial, quant, and the scores don’t have an agenda. And great that we’re gold again!

As this year winds down and I celebrate my work anniversary at SFPA, I find myself reflecting on a leap of faith I took a year ago. After spending 10 years at my previous job, making a career change felt monumental. I had been in my comfort zone for years, and while comfort is nice, I knew it was time to challenge myself. Still, I was afraid of change. I questioned if I could succeed somewhere new. Could I find a role that not only allowed me to grow but also honored the things I value most—time with my family, time with my son, flexibility, balance, good benefits, and good pay? I wanted to continue learning, growing, and contributing meaningfully without compromising those priorities. Feeling a sense of purpose in what I do is so important to me—whether it’s supporting my team or helping clients. That purpose drives me and keeps me striving for more. Looking back, I’m so glad I took the leap. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t always comfortable, but it was worth it. Over the past year, I’ve challenged myself, learned something new every day, developed new skills, and found my groove. I didn’t lose the things I was afraid of compromising—in fact, I’ve gained even more. Growth is a process, and this year has been a reminder of the importance of believing in yourself and pushing forward. I never want to stop challenging myself or settle into complacency. Here’s to continued growth, new challenges, and what’s ahead!

Today marks my 🔟 anniversary at Exadel 🎉 This is a good time to reflect on why I am still here, even though sometimes I feel the urge for change. In these moments, I ask myself the following questions: - Do the company's values still match my own? - Is the company still growing? - Does my contribution still bring significant value to the company? - Does the company appreciate what I do? - Am I surrounded by professionals at a higher level that I can aspire to? - Are there people who benefit from my experience and expertise? - Is there a supportive environment here that believes in me? - Can I continue to gain new experiences here? - By working in this company, do I become stronger and more skilled both as a professional and as a person? And year after year, I get a "YES" to all these most important questions. Of course, like any company, there are challenges here, but they do not overshadow the benefits I see for my professional and personal growth. I am grateful for these 10 years and look forward to the future with optimism, expecting new opportunities and achievements 👐

Happy work anniversary, Jacqui Bonello! Two years of dedication, growth, and contributions. Here's to many more successful and fulfilling years ahead! #WorkAnniversary #MilestoneMoments #YearsOfService #CelebratingSuccess #TeamAppreciation #WorkplaceMilestones #CareerJourney #GratefulHeart #ProfessionalGrowth"
