Q3 Core Value Awardees
Lia Miller
Collective Responsibility
Lia’s pride in her work is evident in the way she actively involves the entire team in each project whether she’s meticulously crafting timelines or leading brainstorm sessions. She ensures that every voice is heard and that the work progresses in a dynamic and collaborative manner her dedication to maintaining high standards and driving the team towards success, shows her deep sense of ownership and everything she does.
Sydney Wade
Fail Fast
Sydney's journey perfectly illustrates why we value failing fast. Despite being thrust into an unfamiliar role, she has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability. She approaches each day as a learning opportunity, isn't afraid to ask questions when unsure, and consistently seeks ways to improve. The most impressive aspect of Sydney's performance is that she hasn't just survived this challenge – she's thrived. Her ability to rapidly learn, adjust, and maintain high performance in both roles demonstrates exactly what we mean by 'failing fast' to achieve growth and innovation. She is truly deserving of this recognition.
Lauren Temple
Love of the Community
Not only does Lauren have a business of her own but she continues to support local businesses around the Long Beach area and beyond. From her own recent project uplifting the voices of new mothers, Lauren has been known to work with companies like NoName Book Club and Color Compton.
Courtney Cox
Transparency and Communication
Courtney has multiple stakeholders across each business unit. To be effective, she tailors her communication for each division. For example, some stakeholders prefer a presentation format for status update while others prefer Asana directly. Either way Courtney is able to deliver and make sure key points are received effectively.
