What if I told you the mindset shift I made while working at Footlocker transformed my annual income from $30K to $143K? Working at Footlocker wasn’t just a job; it was my turning point. I learned how to learn from others—observing, listening, and absorbing lessons from those around me. A mentor once told me, “Your growth is only limited by how big you’re willing to dream.” That advice shifted everything... I started seeking opportunities that aligned with my passions, investing in self-education, and taking bold risks. Slowly, my actions caught up with my vision, and my income skyrocketed as I unlocked new possibilities for success. Lets chat about how 2025 can be a year of endless growth with a few resources that helped me along the way: https://lnkd.in/gdjSZBFf

Picture this You're building your dream business, envisioning a team of absolute rockstars who not only get the job done but also vibe with your company's ethos like nobody's business. Sounds like paradise, right? Yet, one of the toughest challenges is bringing that vision to life, crafting the right systems and cultivating a company culture that attracts top-tier talent. Just last month, I crossed paths with a client facing the same dilemma A team of 8 sales reps, they were hitting a wall. The energy on the sales floor just wasn't clicking, leaving them feeling stuck and disconnected from their goals. #companyculture #business #salesteams

It's time to meet one of Lucid's newest hires - Tom Dunham! While Tom has only been with Lucid for a little over 6 months, it's hard to remember Lucid before him as he immediately meshed with the team (his love of baseball and golf definitely helped.) He joined Lucid with a strong IT staffing sales background that allowed us to more rapidly expand into a new market. It's been fun getting to learn more about the Charlotte area and all that it has to offer, including great IT employers, illustrious golf courses, often enviable weather, and eclectic neighborhoods. (We won't mention their football team.) Our "Meet the Team" series is winding down soon, but you can always learn more about Tom or any other member of Lucid on our blog! https://lnkd.in/gVRiy9_A • You are no stranger to the IT staffing world. What does Lucid offer a client that other firms may not? o We offer a truly unique value proposition - blending the best of both worlds: the expertise and resources of a larger firm with the transparent, personalized service you'd expect from a boutique agency. We're a tight-knit group that takes great pride not only in the work we do but also in the clients we serve. Our size allows us to be agile and adaptable, offering tailored solutions while maintaining open communication and a high level of accountability. We strive to build lasting relationships, ensuring that every engagement delivers value and aligns perfectly with our client’s business goals. • What is the best piece of professional advice you have ever received? o I think the best piece of professional advice I’ve received is to focus on building relationships, not just transactions. In any industry, especially in IT Staffing, long-term success comes from investing in people – whether it’s your clients, colleagues, or candidates. • Speaking of advice, do you have any advice or nuggets of information, perhaps regarding the current market, that you wish you could share with your clients? o Given the current market landscape, a key piece of advice I’d share is to remain adaptable and proactive in acquiring talent. You must be intentional with every action in today’s competitive market. (Also – hang in there, the light is at the end of the tunnel) • You can have any job for one week. What would it be and why? · I’d love to caddy for Scottie Scheffler for the check at the end of the week OR caddy for John Daly for the fun. • You’re originally from the Midwest but currently reside in Charlotte, NC. Share a couple of things that you love the most about your current city. · An obvious answer would be the weather or the proximity to the mountains and beaches make for an easy weekend trip, but I love the uniqueness of Charlotte. Uptown has tiny pockets of hidden gems throughout – and the art scene is severely underrated, too. • What are three words those closest to you would use to describe you? · Stubborn · Kind · Loyal
