Harris Teeter’s Post

🎉 Celebrating my 24th birthday this week! Until recently age was something I avoided discussing, afraid that it would downplay my years of experience but after joining the corporate world days after turning 16, I'm also celebrating 8 years in corporate retail. Since joining the team at Quadmark I have come to appreciate the insight and experience I have gained by starting when I did and wanted to share some of my biggest lessons so far: Diverse Mentors: Valuable lessons often come from unexpected sources. Embracing diverse perspectives teaches you the best lessons. Seek out unexpected mentors—they may provide insights that shape your journey. Embrace Challenges: Growth in my career has often stemmed from daunting challenges. Each obstacle is a chance for personal and professional development. Say yes to scary things. Learning to Learn: Balancing work and study early in my career taught me a crucial lesson: education isn't just about subjects (looking at my IT degree); it's mastering the art of learning, it gives you the confidence when presented with a new challenge that you can tackle it.  #CareerJourney #BirthdayReflections #ProfessionalGrowth

"Luck is preparation meeting opportunity." - Oprah Winfrey It is important to plan today for opportunities that may come your way in the future. You cannot predict when or what type of opportunities will come your way, and you can be prepared to capitalize on them if you are ready.

Tales from the recently laid off, a personal journey – Why is Hamilton in my head? It is hard to believe that it has been two and half weeks since I learned that I was laid off. The initial shock has worn off, things are quieting down, the rush of “how can I help” has slowed and the inbox messages of “have you looked here” or “have you looked there” have decreased. I totally get it…people have lives and jobs to get back to and this journey is mine to own. So, why is Hamilton in my head? There is a scene in the play where Alexander Hamilton and Raymond Burr walk into a bar and Hamilton sings “I am NOT throwing away my shot.”  This song is on replay in my brain as every “shot” represents a new “opportunity” for me. Personally, every phone screen is an opportunity to gain insights about amazing companies in my industry. Every interview is an opportunity to expand my network. Every conversation is an opportunity to learn about a company’s culture. These are opportunities that I choose to pursue relentlessly as they will help guide me on my professional journey. I leave you with two questions: 1-     What is your anthem and how does it motivate you? 2-     Who needs an awesome technology partner/alliance manager? I am still on the market! #opportunity #hamilton #optimism #laidoff #fyp #anthem #grateful Roxanne Paulus Teran Canterbury Pam Latvala Owen McCorry Steve Riegel Tice Mays Laurence Rothman Liz Russell Mike Turcotte Lars Graae Rocky DeAngelis Stephanie Prettyman Christine Wolff Jen Gulling Amy Kieffer Lizzette (Liz) Nunez (She/Her/Ella) Paul Umansky Brian York Susan Ellison Tammy McMahon Ben Cook Greg Fadale Assad Noori Jill Howe Mark Zerbe Erikka Buracchio, PHR, CPC Amy Smith Delanie Olsen Kellee Kramer Renee Hilmi
