Getting laid off transformed my career. In October 2022, I experienced a significant turning point in my professional journey - I was impacted by a round of mass layoffs and found myself back on the job market. I was content with my job. I had formed strong bonds with my coworkers, cherished my incredible bosses, and genuinely enjoyed the work I was doing. The sudden prospect of job hunting and venturing into unfamiliar territory was daunting, to say the least. But by the grace of God and good networking, my amazing friend Laragh Cronin introduced me to Narrative Strategies DC and connected me with Katie Mitchell, who not only believed in me enough to hire me, but has since become my mentor. In my nine months at Narrative, the autonomy I've been granted here has allowed me to take charge of onboarding a new proposal platform (here's looking at you, Proposify), into our workflow. Additionally, I've been given the opportunity to initiate the development of a new brand strategy, receive incredible mentorship from Christine Hennessey and Katie, learn from the best of the best (AKA Andrew Fimka), attend INBOUND 2023, and so so much more. These experiences, in just nine months, have given me a sense of accomplishment and growth equivalent to years of work elsewhere. My time at Narrative has not only reshaped my career but also my perspective on change and embracing the unexpected. I've learned that sometimes, what initially seems like a setback can turn out to be the catalyst for tremendous personal and professional growth. This is just the beginning of my story with Narrative, and I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds. #YourStoryStartsHere

Did you know? Today is Vivaldi's 346th birthday. His Four Seasons violin concerti are among my favorite music. By turns energizing, reflective, somber, and joyful. Today I wanted to talk about #employeeengagement and while listening to this recording I've starting thinking about the four seasons of work life: https://lnkd.in/ghuHsbFD 🌷 Spring 🌷 The season of vigor, when we need to meet employees with the same level of energy and new growth they bring as new members of the workforce. A leader's work during this season is to greet this excitement and channel it to the right learning opportunities and job-related priorities. ☀ Summer ☀ The season of distraction. There are naturally times in each employee's life when work is not their chief priority. And this is something to recognize and support. Summer doesn't last forever and we want employees to find a welcoming workplace when the distractions of real life can be stored away. 🍁 Autumn 🍁 The season of productivity when employees have deep knowledge and expertise and rarely need direction. Just like trees, they don't have to be told to shed their leaves when the weather cools, but they do still require leaders to tend to their environment and needs. ❄ Winter ❄ The season when we turn our thoughts to legacy-building. When we are fortunate enough to participate in this season with an employee, our efforts as leaders should turn to recognition and creating the avenues the employee needs to pass a career's worth of knowledge and insight along. What season are you enjoying right now? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I'm Kate. I help you connect people, purpose, and performance. As a facilitator, coach, or consultant, I’m here to support leaders becoming their best selves. Because your employees deserve you at your best.

🌟 Celebrating Wins Together: The Heartbeat of Our Success 🌟 In the fast-paced world we navigate, taking a moment to pause and celebrate our wins—big or small—within our teams is not just a moment of joy, but a crucial pillar that supports our collective success. It's these moments of recognition and celebration that build the foundation for strong, enduring relationships within our team. 🎉 Why is celebrating so important, you ask? Because it fosters a sense of belonging and appreciation, it reinforces our purpose and drives, and most importantly, it nurtures a culture where each team member feels valued and understood. Building relationships within the workplace is more than just networking; it's about creating a family that supports each other through highs and lows. It's about understanding and appreciating the diverse talents and perspectives that each member brings to the table. These relationships are the scaffolding on which we can lean when challenges arise and the network we celebrate with when milestones are achieved. But beyond the celebrations and relationships, at the core of our endeavors, must be a love for what we do. It’s this passion that ignites innovation, fuels perseverance, and inspires excellence. Loving what you do transforms work from obligation to excitement, turning everyday tasks into opportunities for growth and achievement. And what does this love allow us to celebrate? Not just the success of our projects, but the journey we embark on together. The late nights, the brainstorming sessions, the unwavering dedication—it’s all part of a narrative that culminates in moments worth celebrating. So, let’s make a promise to not only chase success but to savor it together. Let's commit to building relationships that transcend the professional and delve into the personal, fostering an environment where love for our work and for each other is the norm, not the exception. Because at the end of the day, it’s these moments of joy, this sense of community, and the love for what we do that truly define our success. Here's to celebrating every win, nurturing every relationship, and loving every moment of our journey together. 🥂🚀📈 #Teamwork #Celebration #WorkplaceCulture #PassionForWork #ProfessionalGrowth #SuccessTogether
