Love for Development

Today, our team is preparing to celebrate our clients and show them appreciation for their partnerships with EPI. Each of our clients have a love for developing their employees and know that it impacts their bottom-line results. Not only does developing employees impact profitability, but it sends a message to our employees that we care about them, their success on the job, and their overall development.

Our own self-development is love for development. Last week I was contacted by a colleague that I hadn't heard from in a year. She said that she was disappointed in her lack of contact with the many people who have impacted her career. She asked me to lunch and said that she was reaching out to a few other people. As a result, she is challenging herself to grow and keep connected.

This week, I learned that one of my closest friend’s home burned down. She, her husband, and baby of six months, have to start all over. I can’t imagine the challenges they are facing and the growth that they will have as a result of this tragedy. She called yesterday and said, "The love we share is our strength and we are learning a lot through this trying time."

February 14th is just a few days away. Be sure to tell those that you love just how important they are to you. Moreover, tell yourself "I love you" and take on a new challenge!
