Let's take a moment to recognize the unsung heroes of the workplace – our administrative professionals. Their hard work and dedication keep the gears turning smoothly every day. Here's to celebrating Administrative Professionals Week and expressing our gratitude for all that they do! 🌟 #legalmarketingmaven #LegalMarketing #EstatePlanning #MondayMotivation #ClientExperience #FirstImpressions

Talk about a fantastic review for Dean LeBoeuf and Ryan Molaghan! 🎉 Their dedication and hard work truly paid off for their clients in a high-stakes situation or as we at the firm say, when there was #TooMuchAtStake. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #TallahasseePersonalInjury #5StarReview #ClientTestimonial #TopNotchRepresentation 💪🏼🌟

Today I’m celebrating our differences! ….and specifically celebrating our team members at Benson Wood who are all brilliant and unique in their own special way. 🩷 We have quiet types who sometimes need coaxing to chat about anything that’s not accounts or tax. 🩶 We have calm types who never get stressed and take everything in their stride. 🩷 We have enthusiastic types who love new things, race ahead of themselves and often need reined in (this type might include me 😳). 🩶 We have deep thinking types who are founts of knowledge and love problem solving. 🩷 We have caring types who thrive on helping clients and teammates. 🤩 Every single person in our team is different. 🤩 Every single member of our team is invaluable to our business. 🤩 Without our team members and the different attributes & skills they bring, we wouldn’t have a business. As a business owner, where would you be without your team? #team #business #accountants

Why limit celebrating case managers to just one week? We make an impact every day! Let’s keep the recognition going year-round because our work never stops, and neither does the difference we make. Here’s to us—case managers making it happen 24/7, 365! #casemanager #workcomp #advocate #workingmom #casemanagement #carecoordination

When I was searching for a new job, I made a list of criteria I was looking for in my future employer. (Full list below for accountability measures.) I promised myself that if I were to make a move, every criteria on this list had to be met - no compromises. I'm glad I held firm in this requirement because it led me to Valent Partners. Valent not only met these criteria but has quickly proven itself to be among the #BestPlacesToWork. To my friends actively job searching: make your list, be selective, don't settle, and be grateful for where it leads you. It may take some time, but it'll be worth it. - Who I work with and for: Am I surrounded by people that are driven, kind, and humble; people that inspire me and push me to be better? - The example leadership sets: Are leaders really 'walking the talk'; is there a culture of trust and accountability; is grace encouraged and extended? - A place to grow: Am I being pigeon-holed into one role, or is there room in the future for me to expand on my skills and the scope of work? - Room to think strategically: Do I have autonomy to experiment with new concepts or processes; can I turn my ideas into action, with minimal red tape? - Alignment of professional values with my personal values

Did I just blink? First, I want to show appreciation to two of my mentors in the industry Michael Bellody and Brian S. Falconer, LUTCF. They have both been there for me every step of the way, and I am truly grateful for that. Second, I just want to share a few pieces of advice for young advisors that I have learned over the past couple of years: 1. Be coachable. Be open to constructive criticism. I'll be the first to admit, I was horrible on the phone when I started. One of the most important pieces of advice I received was to make each conversation a conversation. When you reach out to a client, ask them how their weeks going. Ask them if they have any exciting plans for the summer. Ask them when their child/children get out of school for summer. Don't jump straight into business. I get excited to call clients. These conversations will result in your client picking up your call on the second ring, rather than letting you go to voicemail. 2. Be a sponge. I joined a team, Imperia Wealth Management, for a reason. You would think Mike, Brian, and my other mentors would be sick of my numerous questions after 2 years, yet every day they're happy to help and coach me. The importance of surrounding yourself with experience is drastic. Experience does not only apply to Capital Markets. Client relationships, networking opportunities, and utilizing COI's are a few examples. There's always room to grow/learn regardless of how long you have been in the industry. 3. Be yourself. I promise that you won't know every answer to every question a client asks. The saying, "Fake it until you make it" ... throw it in the trash. Lean on your mentors when necessary, and clients will appreciate it. Take the extra hour before you respond to your client. I can't wait for the future of IWM. PJF
