I finally wrote a quote my old boss needed for his website. It's funny how I first wrote that without the "old." I don't know if I'll ever have a boss quite like him again. He created our team we had at Ahern...he realized how well all of us would work together (ALL of us together - that includes him), and he was absolutely right. Writing the quote made me nostalgic for the old times, but life goes on...to bigger and better things. So, without further ado, here is my quote:
"Mark was much more than my boss - he was, and still is, a mentor and a friend. He has helped me become a more confident person through his goals program and through one-on-one meetings. Mark is always available to talk to about everything, both professional and personal. I continue to talk to him regularly and trust his advice immensely.
Mark’s leadership training gave me the strength to pursue a long time dream of mine - to live in the Mediterranean. I lived in Greece for three months and have every intention of going back in the near future. It was an amazing experience, and I will always be grateful to Mark for showing me that anything is possible."
I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity I was given to work with Mark and the entire Training team. The experience taught me more than I think I even know and ALL of you will always be important to me. Thank you all for creating our environment and team. We were the greatest example of a true team and we are truly UNBREAKABLE in spirit.

How true that is, Sam. We had something wonderful there. It's a shame it's gone, but things change and people have to move on. It's what you take from the experience that makes it worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteReach for the stars! :)
This post kinda makes you the spokesperson for us all. I know that I feel the same about Mark and my experiences working with the TEAM.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the sadness is a struggle, but with it always comes a smile as ironic as that seems. I'm convinced that it was the best 2.5 years of my working life to this point and beyond. Thank goodness we worked with the paparazzi so we have lots of pictures to help us remember. :-)
