Jessica Day “In 2020 I learned that compassion, adaptability, and perseverance can lead you to success, no matter what situation you find yourself in. As much as we want to be able to have total control over our present and future, the only thing that we can truly control is how we show up every day. Our team showed up with these critical qualities and I am grateful to find myself in an environment that encourages innovation.”
Randy Kutz “In 2020 I have learned that everyone processes challenges and change in different ways because of the context that they find themselves in when external events disrupt. Even though we can all talk about a common event, we color the event with our own unique, personal, and important experiences. I have learned to listen with greater acuity and appreciation for the people side of business.”

Jerry Langlois “Who would have expected that the world would turn upside down in 2020?! Here is something that I learned early on in business and in life: ‘It’s not what happens to you that matters, as much as what you do with it. That’s what matters most!’ I believe that everyday life is a gift, and what we do with it is our gift back!”
Mille Daivs “My brother has a tattoo that quotes Frederick Douglass: ‘If there is no struggle, there is no progress.’ I think that is a perfect sentiment for 2020. Our team had many challenges this year, and we still found ways to support each other, adapt to change, and embrace the struggle.”
Julie Shen “2020 has taught us so many lessons, whether we wanted to learn them or not. As the year began, I had objectives set out for myself, as many people did. But as things drastically changed, I discovered that with a reset and change of attitude, I could still meet my objectives but had to be creative in my strategies. It would have been easy to fall into Netflix heaven and ‘wait it out,’ but life kept happening and constant readjustments kept me grounded and optimistic.”

Mike Saporito “2020 has taught me how essential it is to be adapt- able in all areas of life. This year has forced companies and individuals to be put in unfamiliar or uncomfortable positions, and how they deal with those is what is most important. While it has been a tough year for all, I think there is a lot of good to take out of it.”
