Inspire ME Friday: Where Are You Running To?

"There’s a wonderful Future Leaders Program on this course that I’ve had to pleasure to be a part of. In just my first 8 months here I was given many challenges and ultimately awarded my first promotion."





Good Morning Folks, 

Before I reveal my pick from this week's inspiring, internal communiques, I wanted to share some thoughts.

As you know, FSO’s Future Leaders (FLP) are among our greatest assets. The primary intention of our FLP is to know who our top performing employees are so that we can cultivate a deep bench of great talent to keep pace with our galactic growth. 

Nothing is more important than having great people who care about the service and experiences they provide to our customers. Our Future Leaders have the desire to grow and be a part of something amazing, something BIGGER. We have 260 employees in the FLP and I expect see at least 45 more promotions before the end of the year.

All of which leads me to my pick for today's inspiring share from our internal employee communications this week. It's authored by Peter, an Experience Associate Director based out of one of FSO's Boston client sites. Peter is a shining example of the success of our Future Leaders Program. Here's Peter:
"I joined FSO 11 months ago as an Experience Manager after working for our client directly for 8 years. I am truly honored to deliver this message, my first, to you today.

One thing that I enjoy very much is getting up each morning before the sun comes out and hitting the streets for a morning run. I use that time to organize my thoughts and compile the tasks that I’d like to complete over the course of the day. I decide how I’m going to use the next 24 hours to grow personally and professionally and then feed off of that energy to get out there and make every minute count.

I think of my career at FSO as the ultimate marathon. The start gun went off nearly 4 years ago with a small group of elite runners. Along the course hundreds of other hard working colleagues recruited by our amazing People Solutions team joined into this exciting race. There’s a wonderful Future Leaders Program on this course that I’ve had to pleasure to be a part of. Our leaders are committed to our development and growth and in just my first 8 months here I was given many challenges and ultimately awarded my first promotion. We have our Sales and Marketing teams that climb up the hills making calls, getting proposals together, doing site visits and securing new business to get to the top. At the top of those hills there are rows of clients ringing cowbells cheering us on realizing that we were the best decision.

Who is that elite runner at the front of the pack that shows no signs of slowing?  Mitch Weiner!!! He broke through the finish line that our competitors wish they could make it to, created a new course and refuses to slow down. And why would he? There is no better brand in the entire business and he will continue to conquer.

For the rest of you I ask… As you begin your marathon today, what are you going to do to make it a personal, passionate and productive journey? LET YOUR LEADERS KNOW!!! Mitch, Jim and the rest of the ELT are personally committed to helping each and every one of us succeed.

So folks, there’s a lot of time between now and the end of the day. I personally challenge you to use it well. 3...2...1…GO! FSO  USA"
These future leaders, like Peter, from mail room clerks to front of house to our Sr. Management team are driven by one simple goal: make today better than it was yesterday. 

Everyday we open our eyes to see what's else we can do to serve, to make our presence known, to solve problems, to help the client. Everyday we smile, say good morning, and make someone feel good about themselves. Our people never stop looking for ways to make our clients life better. 

Your energy, enthusiasm and professionalism are always greatly appreciated. 

Have a wonderful fun weekend!

Love Life!
