BEST/MOST-VALUED CAREER LESSON IN THE PAST YEAR: The most valuable lesson I learned this year was how resilient and loyal people are when you help them feel safe. Early in the year, we were quick to assure people of their job. Removing this stress and uncertainty allowed our team members to focus on supporting each other and our customers. We were fortunate to be in that position and I am proud of the way our team responded.

BEST CAREER ADVICE: The best career advice I have ever received was simple; think longer term. Over the years I have worked on training myself to consider the long game, which has completely transformed my prioritization and decision-making. From focusing on my mental and physical well-being, to investing in key personal relationships, to making difficult or important business and leadership decisions; using a longer-term horizon has enhanced every aspect of my life.
