As one nominator said, “there’s a true art to navigating these, and charting a course forward that ensures everyone’s voice is heard, project decisions are well-documented, and project communications flow smoothly and frequently as work moves forward.” Indeed, like a trapeze artist flying through the air, this individual makes hard work look effortless. Have you ever heard of a one-person circus, performing all the acrobatic stunts, juggling pins, breathing fire, tightrope-walking, and contorting into near-impossible shapes, all while handing out popcorn and cotton candy? Of course, it takes a troupe of varied performers to form a circus, and a lot of teamwork to transform it into a spectacle that others will want to watch.īut even with the best talent on earth, a circus without a leader will quickly become chaotic, much like a project without a skilled and compassionate manager.

They’re all about helping people grow, never about shutting them down.” This individual is a shining example of a linchpin, combining personal care with professional skill in the workplace. One colleague says they “see us all as the glorious messes that we are and meets us there. This has led to colleagues knowing that they “will openly and directly answer any question, give thoughtful advice or help you search for a solution.” They encourage others to become their best selves, providing any and all assistance they can. One colleague states they “tell a mean dad joke, sing a fine ballad, and there is nobody anyone could trust more to save them from a wild turkey.” They care about the people that make up the organization above all, ensuring that individual feelings and experiences are taken into account. While committee work is important, the nominee is also a valued friend. This individual is “a warm hug personified,” the first person many colleagues think to turn to with questions or concerns. One colleague notes that their work “often appears to be in the background, but they are an integral part of the heart of the organization." In this new world they stepped up as a member of the Emergency Planning Team, providing a trusted voice to keep things in line and running smoothly.

The honoree for the Bringing out the Best award is one of those people. Your family will appreciate those documented tid-bits year after year when you pull out your December Diary to display as part of your holiday decor.Just like the incredible acts in a circus, some people can just turn your day around, in the best possible way. Documenting those important facts not only benefits you, but the generations to come. Maybe you bake a certain cookie, in which the recipe was passed down from Aunt Betty, or you hang an ornament on the tree that was given to your grandmother by your grandfather the first year they were married. How would you like to capture those memories and traditions this December for your family to look back on for many years to come?
Some of us drink eggnog, while others sip hot chocolate by the fire while singing Christmas carols with the family.
