A vulnerable and exciting update for my network: A little over a year ago, when I joined The Admin Effect as their Chief Marketing Officer, I stepped out of my comfort zone and really put my imposter syndrome to the test. I could confidently tell an office how many seminars they would need to hold to meet their growth goals for the year. I could identify gaps in branding and deliverables for a company, create and execute a social media calendar, and organize a client events schedule. However, I had no idea what Firelight was. I didn't know what a replacement application entailed. I didn't fully grasp the difference between a carrier and a custodian. The only thing I knew about a Roth IRA was simply that I had one. And don't even ask me to explain the difference between qualified and non-qualified funds. The list goes on... I share this because, in a matter of months, with the guidance and support of our incredible team, I learned what Firelight was (spoiler: it's not the song by Owl City). I learned the significance of IRA types in applications, and the difference between qualified and non-qualified funds. This knowledge allowed me to develop effective case management training, forecast how many applications our team can complete in a day, and streamline money movement timeframes and strategies. Let my experience during the past year be a testament to the true power of The Admin Effect. Our service offering, and ESPECIALLY our training program, was created with the framework that I followed to get to this point, and that our team has followed as well. A special shoutout to our Leadership Team for pushing me toward this opportunity and giving me the grace and confidence to take on this new role. I love what I do, and I feel lucky to be able to do it every day. Cheers to an exciting year ahead! 🥂

When was the last time you took a moment to pause and reflect on your recent wins? We get so caught up in the hustle and bustle, constantly striving for what’s next. Spending time wishing for things we don’t have. And, when we finally achieve them, we don’t take a moment to celebrate. Today - we change that. This is an invitation — to pause and reflect on your recent wins both BIG and small. What achievements have you made? How are they contributing to your journey? Take a moment to add it to your calendar 🗓️ on Monday morning so you start your week with an inspiring reminder of how far you’ve come. And why stop there? Consider adding a recurring 10-minute reflection block every Friday. A simple system to help you end each week on a high note. As inspiration, here are a few things that my clients celebrated in September: 🎉 an entrepreneur surpassed year end revenue goals 3 months early (since regularly taking Friday afternoons off) 🎉 a VP who wanted to increase her leadership influence beyond her role and company was appointed to a prominent external committee 🎉 a founder & CEO booked his first 2 week vacation in 5 years 🎉 an SVP transitioned into an EVP role and now, 6 months later, has exceeded their targets, while significantly increasing the team’s engagement and retention scores What are you celebrating this week?

The gap we bridge excites me!!!! This happened a while back and was wondering when we'd share... this news is music to my ears. Those in this space understand how important absorption is. And finding a perfect host employer is key... We deliberately partner with small businesses rather than big corporates. We understand what they are trying to build and we want to grow it with them.. We could easily collaborate with well-established companies, but it will sell out our mission... Because we are clear on this one thing: we Grow People. Grow Businesses! One intern at a time. One business at a time. It's a marathon this, not a sprint 😉 Did you get to listen to this conversation: https://bit.ly/4bgXqNI Care to hear your thoughts...

Today marks my one year anniversary at Placer.ai. 365 days in the blink of an eye! Reflecting on the past year fills me with gratitude not only for what we've accomplished but for the incredible milestones ahead. I "found" this industry over ten years ago with a little bit of luck and almost by mistake. At the time, I was buying media for a brand and was perplexed by a problem: our mobile advertising didn't convert. But why? I set out on a path to find a company that could help solve that problem, and it unlocked a series of events that has turned location analytics into my career path. Since then, I've had the honor of working with some of the world's largest brands and organizations to uncover use cases far beyond media. It has been 10 years full of learning, asking questions, and creatively solving for big, real world problems in retail, commercial real estate, marketing, strategy, tourism, financial services, and more. A decade in, I find myself more excited than ever. I am proud to work for the market leader in location analytics and look forward to many years of growth and success to come. I have to give a big thanks to the people at Placer who've made this company an empowering place to work and who have believed in me along the way. I come to work each day inspired, surrounded by a team that is relentless in its pursuit of greatness. And we have a lot of fun! #locationanalytics #placerai #mobiledata #partnerships

Bring it on, Evel Knievel When I was eight, I owned a black Raleigh BMX Burner and dreamed of being Evel Knievel. My older brother, aka my “stunt planner,” had one job: to make sure my stunts went off without a hitch. We lived next to a steep hill that led to a construction dumping ground scattered with bricks and mortar—perfect for the daredevil event we had in mind. I was ready for the stunt of my life (back then, helmets weren’t part of the plan). Off I went, leaning in hard, swaying from side to side, momentum burning in my nostrils. Ahead, I saw what looked like a 40-degree angled ramp—and it was. That was as far as my BMX went. My bike stopped. I didn’t. Moments later, my “stunt coordinator” appeared, breathless, looking down at me with fear in his eyes, praying I was still alive. I was. He helped me pick up the bike, and we headed home for supper. That’s just how things went back then. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. I’ve relived this moment many times in my life. During leadership meetings, I’ve charged forward without pausing to consider the consequences of my words and actions, leading my team headlong without realising the potential impacts; like my childhood stunts, these moments taught me the hard way: personal growth and success come when I choose balance over excess. True growth requires us to pause, consider the impact, and focus on thoughtful, intentional action rather than impulsive leaps.

During my 35-year career as an executive and decision-maker, I've realized the importance of seeking diverse perspectives to make better decisions and achieve superior results. Working in isolation often led to tunnel vision and suboptimal choices. However, investing in myself and joining a Vistage Peer Advisory Group transformed my approach. With the support of Edward Russnow, Matt Montellione, Ryan Goor, and others in the group, I gained invaluable outside perspectives that fostered personal growth, improved business outcomes, and set the path to becoming a Vistage Chair. If you're a CEO or business owner aiming for growth and learning, surround yourself with diverse viewpoints to enhance your decision-making and drive better results. #ExecutiveDevelopment #LeadershipInsights #BusinessGrowth #VistageMVP
