Advocacy in the workplace is imperative to success. We need to know someone ‘has our back’ when we’re not in the room and that there’s someone ‘looking out’ for us in places we cannot see. Find these gems and cherish them! Be a champion for others and align with people who will champion for you. It’s a reciprocal relationship that can make all the difference. How do YOU show up as an advocate for others? #advocate #professionalgrowth

I took this picture while on a walk with my labradoodle, Lilly. Nothing says spring to me more than seeing the first daffodils coming up after a long Denver winter. It doesn’t always mean we’re done with snow for the season, but daffodils make me feel optimistic. They’re resilient and promise warmer days to come.    The sense of renewal in the air always reminds me to look at my personal and professional goals with fresh eyes. Am I growing as a person, at least a little, everyday? Is the 2024 growth strategy we set for McCarthy Messaging on track? And most importantly, am I nurturing all of my relationships — with family, friends, colleagues, and clients — and cultivating new ones?   #spring #relationships #personaldevelopment #professionalgrowth

Employee Spotlight: Chris Theard If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? “I would consider myself ambitious, very curious, and loyal.” What’s something interesting or surprising about you that most people do not know? “I am an absolute animal lover.” What’s your role at the company, and what does a typical day look like for you? “My role at the company involves going after new business, regaining old business, and quoting projects whether that is new business or attempting to win back business we may have lost in the past. I am after the BOOM’s!!!” What do you enjoy most about working here? “The first thing is I love the family atmosphere and the unity of the entire building from the warehouse to the front office. 1 other thing I will mention is I appreciate being able to be open and honest with our bosses, which creates a very trusting relationship from within. There are many things I could go on and on about it, but I will cut it short there :)” What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work? “My absolute favorite thing to do outside of work is to spend time with my kids. I enjoy watching my kids interact with each other, pester each other, and all that jazz. It brings a smile to my face and makes me feel at peace.” #EmployeeSpotlight #MeetTheTeam #CompanyCulture

We like to make resolutions for the New Year: a plan to cut carbs, hiring a trainer so you’ll actually go to the gym, organizing the garage (again). Changing jobs, however, is a new beginning with serious heft, requiring deep discernment. The instincts to change up your work life may begin at around age forty, or perhaps fifty. You may find yourself asking deeper questions, such as: Is this job true to my talents and passions? Is there more? Questions like these began for me at forty-two, when I was arguably at the peak of my career. I was Chief Operating Officer at HGTV, the best job anyone could ever want. I can’t explain why the questions began or precisely how I heard them, except they seemed to surface in the early morning hours, before everyone in the house awoke. Over the next decade, I switched up roles in the organization to learn new things and to broaden my brain and heart. I realize I was lucky enough, being in the C-suite, to navigate my organization this way. But lateral moves do happen if you’re willing to try! When I had strong succession in place, I left. Since then I’ve been able to write books, work with young adults, and mentor the president of a farm which grows greens in water without soil. It’s a remarkable emerging industry that will help to feed and protect our planet. We can reimagine our lives and careers many times if we follow our hearts–and act!

The Silent Starvation: Why We're Starving Our Teams of Appreciation (and How to Stop) 🌱Imagine a garden. Lush, vibrant, with flowers reaching for the sun. Now, imagine neglecting to water those flowers, forgetting to nourish them with sunshine and care. What happens? They wilt, their colors fade, their petals drop. Your once-beautiful garden becomes a shadow of its potential. This, my friends, is the silent starvation we inflict on our teams. We 🚿shower them with tasks, deadlines, and expectations, neglecting their most vital need: appreciation. It's not just about paychecks and promotions; it's about the human desire to feel seen, valued, and essential. Yet, we often relegate appreciation to quarterly reviews and generic "good jobs." The result? Disengaged employees, lagging productivity, and a talent drain that cripples growth. We become the gardeners who starve our own blooms, then wonder why our garden doesn't flourish. 👏 It's time to break the cycle. Let's stop being silent. Let's 📣 shout our appreciation from the rooftops (or at least, from across the conference room). Swipe to find out how.

⛔️Warning, Mom Guilt Ahead: With my current job situation, we’re reassessing our options for this summer and considering whether we need to cancel some camps. As I go through the list, the ‘mom guilt’ hits hard. It’s tough to think about potentially disenrolling my kids from camps they were excited about. But in times of uncertainty, we have to make tough decisions and prioritize what’s best for our family. Navigating #unemployment comes with its challenges, and adjusting our summer plans is just one of them. While it’s not an easy decision, it’s essential to reevaluate our priorities and make adjustments accordingly. So here’s to facing the tough decisions head-on, even when they come with a side of #momguilt. We’re all doing the best we can, and sometimes that means making difficult choices. Thanks for being a part of this journey with me. Remember, we’re in this together! ______ 👋 Hi, I’m Christine Polite. I post daily updates about #jobsearching and #myjobsearchjourney.
