<p>“Surround yourself with people who are as passionate as you are.”</p>



<p>That quote resurfaced for me this week, reminding me how important the&nbsp;<em>proper</em>&nbsp;environment is for growth.</p>



<p>I’m entering a new chapter, and instead of looking backward, I’m putting my energy into what comes next the people I want to work with, the culture I want to contribute to, and the impact I want to make. Passionate teams raise the bar. They challenge you, motivate you, and help you perform at your highest level. That’s the kind of environment I’m aiming for as I take the next step forward.</p>



<p>This season has also reinforced something important: slowing down isn’t the same as stopping. It’s a reset, a chance to get clear on what matters and where you’re heading. And the support I’ve received calls, texts, emails, and DMs has meant more than you know. It’s reminded me of the strong community I have around me and the kind of relationships I want to keep building.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What I’m Looking For Next</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Customer Success Manager / Principal CSM</strong></li>



<li><strong>Service Delivery Manager / Director of Service Delivery</strong></li>



<li><strong>Strategic Account Manager / Enterprise Account Manager</strong></li>



<li><strong>Program / Engagement Manager</strong></li>



<li><strong>Technical Account Manager (TAM)</strong></li>



<li><strong>AI &amp; Digital Transformation Lead</strong></li>
</ul>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f30e.png" alt="🌎" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Open to roles across the Tri-State area (NY/NJ/CT) or fully remote</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2b50.png" alt="⭐" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Proven track record leading enterprise, delivering 100% CSAT, driving multi-year service success, and helping organizations maximize the value of their technology investments.</p>



<p>You showed up this week — keep that momentum going.</p>



<p>Have a Fantastic Friday.</p>

<p id="ember64">This week, I had the absolute pleasure of going on-site with one of my long-time customers alongside a truly fantastic team. There&#8217;s something special about being face-to-face — sharing in the excitement of what we&#8217;ve achieved together, and brainstorming how we can expand the team&#8217;s knowledge and enhance our solution to meet their evolving needs.</p>

<p id="ember66">Then reality hit on the return trip: jet lag.</p>



<p id="ember67">The kind that makes your alarm clock feel personal.</p>



<p id="ember68">But instead of staying in bed, I scraped the ice off the windshield and dragged myself to the pool. A few hundred yards later, I remembered why we do the hard things — because the feeling after you push through is unbeatable.</p>



<p id="ember69">Whether it&#8217;s work, fitness, or personal goals — the voice that says <em>&#8220;it&#8217;s impossible&#8221;</em> usually belongs to someone who stopped trying. Don&#8217;t let that voice define your limits.</p>



<p id="ember70">This week, celebrate your wins, no matter how small. Every forward step counts. Every early alarm, every late night, every time you show up when it would&#8217;ve been easier not to — that&#8217;s progress worth recognizing.</p>

<p>Have you ever noticed how a short week never really&nbsp;<em>feels</em>&nbsp;short?</p>



<p>The deadlines don’t move. The meetings don’t disappear.</p>



<p>The to-do list doesn’t magically shrink; it expects more from less time.</p>



<p>Yet here we are… we still got it done.</p>



<p>We rearranged, reprioritized, and probably skipped a break or two, but the work didn’t win.&nbsp;<strong>We did.</strong></p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f449.png" alt="👉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />&nbsp;<strong>Reality check:</strong></p>



<p>You don’t always need&nbsp;<em>more time;</em>&nbsp;sometimes you need&nbsp;<em>more focus</em>.</p>



<p>This week wasn’t easier; it just demanded discipline.</p>



<p>And we delivered.</p>



<p>So take that same focus into next week.</p>



<p>If you can do five days of work in four, imagine what you can do when the clock isn’t stacked against you.</p>



<p>Recharge. Refocus. Rebuild momentum.</p>



<p>Because that’s how progress happens not in perfect weeks, but in the ones where you&nbsp;<em>push through anyway.</em></p>



<p><strong>Have a Fantastic Friday — you’ve earned it.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The other day, I mentioned my morning playlist and one song that keeps playing on repeat is&nbsp;<em>“Daydream” by Lily Meola</em>. If you haven’t heard it yet, give it a listen. It’s not just a song it’s a challenge. A challenge to dream big, set goals that scare you, and go after them anyway.</p>



<p>Let me be clear these posts aren’t about saying,&nbsp;<em>“Look what I can do.”</em>&nbsp;They’re more like a nudge to say,&nbsp;<em>“Hey… you’re capable of more than you think.”</em></p>



<p>This morning during swim practice, we started talking about a bucket-list ride:&nbsp;<strong>High Point to Cape May</strong>. Roughly 200+ miles and about 18+ hours in the saddle. It sounds a little crazy, and that’s exactly why I want to do it.</p>



<p>So here I am, saying it out loud:</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4cc.png" alt="📌" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />&nbsp;<em>I want to log this ride on my Strava.</em></p>



<p>There’s a lyric in that song that hit me hard:</p>



<p><strong>“If it makes you nervous, it’s probably worth it.”</strong></p>



<p>That’s the energy I’m taking into the weekend.</p>



<p>You’ve made it through another week now finish strong.</p>



<p>Set a goal that gives you butterflies.</p>



<p>Speak it into existence.</p>



<p>Take the first step.</p>



<p>You’ll amaze yourself with what you can turn from a&nbsp;<em>daydream</em>&nbsp;into reality.</p>



<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f447.png" alt="👇" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> What’s a goal that scares you (just a little)? Drop it below and let’s encourage each other.</p>



<p>Thank you&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ewentzell?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAfN4OUBR223jd5ErT-wOlKsPWgAnM_ryHc" rel="noreferrer noopener">Erin Wentzell</a>&nbsp;for sharing this song and being my support team for these adventures.</p>
