🌟 Embracing Diverse Roles: Driving Growth & Personal Development 🌟 While organizing my folders, I stumbled upon last year's internal presentation slide introducing the Social Media team. Reflecting on it, I realize how much Windy Street has provided not only opportunities to enhance my auditing skills but also to explore new areas. I strongly believe that in every organization, each individual plays a unique role beyond their job description, contributing not only to the company's growth but also to their own professional development. This year, apart from leading the Digital Media Initiative, I also had the pleasure of contributing to the planning and execution of our summer offsite and the Windy Wall project. 🚀 Social Media Initiative: Spearheading our social media efforts has been an exhilarating journey, allowing me to harness the power of social media to reach new audiences and enhance our brand presence in the digital sphere. 🏖️ Windy Summer Offsite: Organizing our summer offsite was more than just logistics; it was about fostering team spirit, collaboration, and rejuvenation. Creating memorable experiences that strengthen bonds and inspire creativity has been incredibly fulfilling. And let me tell you, it was one of the best offsites despite the 10-hour bus ride 😁 🖼️ Windy Wall: My next goal is curating our internal memory lane, the Windy Wall. I envision it as a place to share our year's journey through pictures, sparking conversations and fostering a sense of community among colleagues. It will be a spot where people can pause, have a quick chit-chat, and stroll down memory lane together. I'll admit I'm quite behind, but I'm committed to making it the best it can be. Here's to embracing every opportunity for growth and making meaningful contributions beyond our day-to-day responsibilities! 💼✨ #ProfessionalDevelopment #Teamwork #Innovation #CareerGrowth

If you’re struggling to figure out how to shift your career: Let your interests guide the way. In 2006, I moved to Atlanta from Puerto Rico, with no set professional path. So, I followed my passions and hobbies: Working out, retail, technology — and got hired in these industries. The skills I learned from those seemingly unrelated jobs continue to impact my life: • Blockbuster - Manning the floor demonstrated the power of asking clarifying questions. • Bally's - Selling gym memberships taught me how to craft offers based on the customer’s goals. • Verizon - Being a sales rep required empathizing with someone before trying to help or sell them anything. Right now, all of your different experiences may not seem like they work together, but trust me they do. As a business owner, I use these lessons daily. This summer, we're celebrating Tyrannosaurus Tech’s 8 year anniversary. 🥳 What's your "unlikely" career journey been?

One of my red threads (what I love) about Vistage Worldwide, Inc. is the opportunity to learn from our #Vistage speaker experts like André van Hall! Andre became blind at the height of his career. He shared how he (and we) can deal with unforeseen change. If you would like to learn more or to hear my story, www.vistage.com/marktaylor. #vistagelightstheway

Why do I still do it?! After 37 years in the game, you might think I'm having a midlife crisis, but really, I'm just taking a moment to appreciate how far we've come. It all started back in 1986 at Bumpers Farm, Chippenham, with a small office supplies firm. Since then, it's been a journey of growth and passion, moving from basic stationery to comprehensive commercial Design and Build. *Three Key Lessons I've Learned:* 👉 Adaptability: Transitioning from stationery to design required constant learning and adaptation. 👉 Community: Building relationships and sharing successes has been crucial for growth. 👉 Passion: Staying passionate about creating spaces where creativity flourishes and productivity thrives keeps me motivated every day. So, that's my story. But enough about me - what's been your biggest lesson in your career journey so far?

🎉 Employee Spotlight 🎉 This week, we’re thrilled to spotlight Zachary Neri, a newly promoted Associate on our Investor Relations team at CenterSquare! With a wealth of experience and passion for fostering strong client relationships, Zach plays a key role in ensuring our investors remain informed and engaged. Whether it be delivering insightful investor communications, or assisting in the execution of business development strategies, Zach consistently goes above and beyond to drive the success of our firm and we are grateful for his outstanding contributions. Read on to learn more about Zach. 1. How do you approach personal growth and continuous learning in your role? Once you master the core responsibilities of your role, continue to push boundaries to expand upon your knowledge. Ask questions to better understand different processes and reflect on the “why” to identify potential opportunities for enhancements. Test out different ideas in order to make things more efficient for your team. 2. What is one professional skill you would like to develop or are actively developing? Communication is a skill that I always focus on developing. It is important to display excellent communication skills in relations with colleagues and clients. Communication is crucial to foster collaboration and create a cohesive team. It promotes transparency and ultimately enhances productivity and organizational success. I believe it is the single most essential skill that I will always continue to develop. 3. If you could share some advice with your younger self, what would it be? Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Do not be afraid to take on different tasks and opportunities that may present themselves because you feel a certain level of uncertainty. Develop a growth mindset and embrace the challenges of the unknown to strive to be the best version of yourself. 4. As a child, what career did you want to have when you “grew up?” When I was younger, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I grew up with dogs since I was born and loved spending time with all of them. I wanted a job being surrounded by animals and taking care of them. 5. What is at the top of your bucket list? As an avid soccer fan, I want to attend a World Cup game. Luckily, in 2026, Philadelphia will be hosting games and I will be going to multiples matches. #EmployeeSpotlight #Teamwork #InvestorRelations #Achievement

It's natural for teams to sometimes lose track of their collective goals and sense of unity. When that happens, it's important to take steps to reconnect and realign. Communication is key here; having open and honest conversations about the team's objectives, challenges, and individual concerns can help rebuild that sense of camaraderie. Team-building activities, both formal and informal, can also be beneficial. These activities can range from simple icebreakers to more structured events aimed at fostering trust and collaboration. Ultimately, maintaining a shared vision and understanding of each other's roles and contributions can help reinforce the team's sense of unity and purpose. Sun's out guns out, time for team building. What plans do you have this summer ?.

Completed my first full work week at Skye. A good week, w/ my definition of good being: 👉 taking time to set yourself up for success To me that’s: • getting right systems in place • getting right processes in place • getting familiar w/ all assets & resources • getting familiar w/ value prop & talk tracks • getting familiar with your team But shouldn’t you be blasting out calls, emails, proposals, closing deals asap.. that’s a no from me dog (Randy Jackson anyone?) Perhaps you’ve heard the story of the two woodcutters.. if you haven’t, here’s a condensed version: Two woodcutters in a competition to see who could cut down more trees 🌲 by the end of day. One experienced woodcutter older in years, the other younger and stronger eager to prove his ability. After an hour, the experienced one paused, sat down to take a break and invited the other to join. “No way! I’m going to keep chopping & beat you.” “Suit yourself,” 🤷♂️ said the experienced one. This repeated itself throughout the day. Every so often the experienced one would pause to rest, while the younger stronger woodcutter kept chopping away. At end of day, they compared to see who had chopped more wood. The younger stronger woodcutter was astonished 😮 to find that the older woodcutter (who kept taking breaks) had chopped way more wood. “How is that even possible? You spent far less time chopping than I did. I’m stronger and never once stopped chopping. What is your secret?” To which the experienced one replied, “every time I sat down, I was sharpening my axe.” 🪓 CTA - whether it’s a new job, new week, new quarter, new whatever.. take the time to put yourself in a position to win (sharpen that saw). #motivation #sales #coaching #skyeisthelimit

My favorite part about coming into the office is getting to connect with my fellow summer associates and getting to meet new people around the office.
