I might be the most charming account manager in Orlando (seriously, call me, I'm irresistible), but I also juggle being a single mom of 2 future baseball stars ⚾️ (seriously, my son's catch last night was EPIC!) while crushing classes at UCF (Go Knights!). Talk about multitasking! Last night, between cheering I was watching a lecture on building trust in the workplace. Now, as a non-traditional student, some of it felt like "duh" moments (eye contact, smiling, sitting up straight? Postura queen here). But then it hit me - not everyone grew up with the same social cues. My office is a generational melting pot, from Gen Z whizzes to seasoned veterans (19 to 62, anyone?). That's a lot of "How do you do, fellow kids?" moments to navigate. So, here's my takeaway: building trust is about more than just basic manners (although those still matter, Grandma!). It's about understanding different communication styles, actively listening, and finding common ground. Think of it like building a bridge: each generation brings a unique brick, and trust is the mortar that holds it all together. What are your thoughts on bridging the generational gap in the workplace? #Trust #Generations #Workplace #careerbuilder #workplacerelations

Digital Strategy | Optimized Member Experience | Agile Project Management | Executive Story Telling | Cross Collaboration | Enterprise Change Driver | Servant Leader
Spotlight on Vicki LaBarge! I was not old enough to rent a car when we traveled, yet she still gave me a chance. I was fresh out of college, yet she gave me projects within the top accounts in the region. She came to my wedding and told me I was crazy to show up to work the next business day. Vickie wore these super high heels but she had great stature on her own. She lead the Strategic Customer Services group and our role was to assist in penetrating strategically selected accounts. I got exposure to decision makers early. I practiced executive level presentating. I learned story telling. We received training so that we could become the dissemination vehicle to the rest of the sales organization. I learned how to highlight benefits instead of features. I added a key element to my thought process : what is the impact? She allowed me the support the Hawaii sales office and I traveled to the islands regularly. Between the culture of the locals and her confidence, I started to build connections. One day, on a red eye, and as we reviewed the sales calls of the trip, she said "I think you should try sales. You would be good at it". I remember laughing as I did not believe it for a second. Who is going to buy anything from a kid who can't even rent a car?!?!? Great leaders see potential. They push to reach new heights. They offer curated feedback so you can continue to evolve. They assign you the challenges that will be steps on your professional ladder. She was so right. I loved #sales. I enjoyed the fact that no one day was like any other. I built #relationships with clients that have extended years after we transacted. I didn't sell things. I offered solutions to challenges. I demonstrated improvements in terms on money and/ or time. That was the value clients bought. Thanks to all leaders who believe and encourage the next generation of #changeagents. For me, I wasn't about getting a ride from the airport to the office. It was about getting a ride from college grad to career woman. ~~~~~~ In celebration of #womenshistorymonth, join me as I spotlight a woman's impact on my personal and / or professional development. I will list Who, What, Why, When and How. One per day, series format. Follow along and enjoy! #womenempowerment

Reunited and It Feels So Good! There's something special about reconnecting with old colleagues, isn't there? Despite our vastly different roles now compared to when we worked together at what's now known as LocaliQ | USA TODAY NETWORK, when Amber Rebold, Katie Smith and I sat down together, it was like no time had passed at all. We seamlessly picked up where we left off, sharing stories of our journeys and celebrating each other's successes. It's moments like these that remind me it's not just about catching up; it's about cherishing friendships, sharing insights, and perhaps even hatching plans for future collaborations. 🚀 So here's to the power of staying in touch and the magic that happens when old colleagues come together in new chapters of their careers. Cheers to friendship, growth, and many more coffee-fueled conversations to come! ☕️💼 Tag someone you miss working with and set up a coffee or virtual meet up today! Trust me, you won't regret it. #CoffeeBreak #Reunion #OldColleagues #NewRoles #Networking #CareerGrowth #CatchUp #Collaboration
☕️ Catching Up N' Coffee: Who says reunions are just for high school?!☕️ So I currently work for a former colleague- Steve Collins at Vereigen Media. He and I had BOTH previously worked with the effervescent & brilliant Katie Smith who is since long standing with Haute. All 3 in vastly different roles than we were when we worked together at whats now known as LocaliQ | USA TODAY NETWORK ; yet we still picked up where we left off as we learned about our current realities and reminisced about where those roles lead us today. It's not just about catching up; it's about celebrating each other's successes, sharing insights, and maybe even hatching plans for future collaborations. 🚀 So here's to the power of staying in touch and the magic that happens when old colleagues come together in new chapters of their careers. Cheers to friendship, growth, and many more coffee-fueled conversations to come! ☕️💼 If you can think of someone you miss working with, you should tag them here to set up a coffee or virtual meet up! I recommend it. #CoffeeBreak #Reunion #OldColleagues #NewRoles #Networking #CareerGrowth #CatchUp #Collaboration

The more I work in Corporate America the more I understand the 10/80/10 rule: 10% of people will love and support you 80% of people don’t care 10% of people secretly hate you Really glad I have people that love me, even the ones who show me in extremely odd ways, and I’m glad that at least some of my haters don’t keep it a secret, reminding me to be more vigilant in my conduct and behavior. In the past, I’ve made the mistake of keeping the vast majority of my work and accomplishments private, using social media platforms to vent and explore different personas. Now, I’ve learned from my mistakes, and I am choosing to use social media to highlight some of the work I do on a day to day, some of the work I’ve done in the past, and some of the projects I have planned for the future. The catalyst for this is obvious, but will likely be missed by a large majority of people. Either way, if this message reaches you, I hope you both look forward to my development and I live up to your expectations.

Hot take: the client isn’t always right. If you’re a client of Cleo Social Inc., you know we embed ourselves right into your team. This means we’re invested in your success. And that often means embracing our role as the expert. Our aim is always to provide data-backed recommendations that will make the biggest impact. Giving clients a different perspective isn't always easy, but the relationships we build with our clients (mentioned above👆) is what makes these conversations impactful when they come up.

Chief of Staff | Bilingual | Retail and Profit Protection Experienced | Security Technology | Project Manager
Guess what retail people? Nobody on LinkedIn (outside of your organization) cares if: - you did or had a great store visit or audit (which by looking at all the posts, there are no bad visits) - got employee of the month or some other personal recognition within your organization - you had a company party or meeting - etc…These are internal company events that should be posted on whatever internal communication system you have. Don’t use LinkedIn as a way to pat yourself on the back. Go do that somewhere else. What to post on LinkedIn? You get a promotion, you get recognition outside of your organization, you change jobs, something unique happens, you need a job, or you can add value to others. OR you actually have a bad store visit (never happens) and learned something new (because nobody doing the visit gives feedback). Try being real and think of the audience outside of your organization. P.S. First job in retail folks, you’re excused. Keep that energy up!

Our professional family grew this week. Danielle Bucki and I are extremely excited to welcome Alysa Stinson to our FIt Butters team. For the past several years we were a two person team (in the office) but it was time to expand. Many of you have read our core values; we print them on every jar. When we listed the position for Events and Sales Representative we knew that the hire had to align with our core values, our vision, mission and culture. Family. Alysa has been part of our influencer fam for over the past year. She’s already been part of our DNA. She’s been to every major event with us over the past year and understands what makes us special. Authenticity. We’ve gotten the pleasure to get to know Alysa more on a personal level since we’ve spent so much time together on the road. We’ve heard her story. Her ups and her downs. Her achievements and her failures. She didn’t hide from them, but embraced it all to better herself both personally and professionally. Quality. This one can mean so much as it pertains to Alysa. She’s a quality human being. She’s so good to us as people, to our children and obviously to the business. Then there’s quality of work. Whether she’s creating content for us, shipping or working an event, she gives it her all each and every time. We quickly realized during our first event that she’s a leader and a go getter. Transparency. This is one of Alysa’s strongest attributes. Alysa is 22 years old, did not complete college, and admittedly had no idea what she wanted to do with her life. During our formal interview she admitted that on paper we’ll find better candidates and she may not be the strongest in every aspect but what she’s really good at is going all in on something she loves. She’s willing to learn, wants to continually be challenged and wants to kick ass at everything she does. Transparently no college degree gives you this kind of confidence and ability to get sh*t done. At the end of the day it wasn’t about a college degree, it wasn’t about experience, it was about family, fit and fueling a purpose. Some things just can’t be taught, and Alysa has the “it” factor. She embodies the H3 mindset. Hard Work. Hustle. Humility.
