Many years ago, I found myself in a room full of men twice my age where I was presenting ideas and solutions that if effective would have brought success to a company that I fundamentally didn’t agree with. I was a young woman trying to make my way in the world, champing at the bit to contribute and make a noticeable impact, when it hit me - my values did not align with the company values, I did not believe in the vision, and because of that, I was never going to succeed (or feel fulfilled) no matter how hard I worked. That's when I made a pact with myself to find a company that aligned with my values and where I could commit to the vision. And I found Argus. Now, as CEO, I look for that alignment. It’s the secret sauce for bringing people together who are excited and fulfilled and are also fully committed to magnifying Argus’ impact. Here’s what alignment looks like to me: 🤝 When we’re in alignment, we can disagree intensely, but our debate is fruitful. The conversation provides clarity, not resentment. The tension sparks ideas, not fires. 💸 When we’re in alignment, everyone understands when we pass on an opportunity that financially seems great but would betray our company values. 💡 When we’re in alignment, people bring me ideas that aren’t on my radar, are not part of my plan (often even mess up my plans!), but so clearly support or even catapult us toward the vision that I have to say, “let’s do it.” So evaluate who you are and what you want: to innovate, save the climate, or just save enough money to travel more. It’s completely up to you. Then find a place where your values align with the company’s values and vision. You don’t have to agree with every decision all the time (in fact, I’d advise you don’t), but from my experience you’ll find much more fulfillment in your own growth and successes when your work and your values align. #alignmentmatters #findyourplace #workthatmatters

Theater Alliance was so pleased to join Booz Allen Hamilton at The Anthem for their Booz Allen Excellence Awards! The talented team of Theater Alliance artists and youth "brought the magic" to the evening of WOW led by Natalie Ade, Kari Merkel, and team. Arts organizations get asked to perform at these kind of events all the time - and as an artistic leader, we get asked to make those decisions. For me, the question always comes down to #values. Does the organization align with our values of integrity, diversity, and excellence? Does the organization value artists? Does the organization live their values? With #BoozAllenHamilton, the answer was a resounding YES. Even in the first conversation about the event, we didn't talk about what they needed or how to make all their dreams come true on a tiny budget. Instead, we talked about what they believe in and what we believe in - we talked about the WHY of our organizations. That is what makes a great collaboration and I'm grateful! #values #integrity #diversity #excellence

Entering the awards isn't just about seeking recognition; it's about pushing yourself and your business to new heights. It's about stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging yourself to excel in ways you never thought possible. The process of preparing for the awards forces you to critically evaluate every aspect of your business and identifies the achievements with celebrating and areas for improvement. When you are entering – you already winning.

🏆 Reflecting on Our Journey 🏆 Sometimes, it's important to pause and appreciate the milestones that shape our path. As we showcase a glimpse of the awards we've earned over the years, our hearts swell with gratitude and pride for the incredible journey we've embarked upon. Each award represents not just a triumph, but a testament to the dedication, hard work, and unwavering passion of our team. It's a reminder of the challenges we've overcome, the growth we've achieved, and the meaningful impact we've made. But beyond the accolades, it's the memories, the shared moments, and the bonds forged along the way that truly define our success. These awards are a symbol of the relationships we've built and the lives we've touched. So here's to the late nights, the early mornings, and the countless endeavors that have led us to this point. We're humbled by the recognition, yet even more humbled by the privilege of being part of something greater – a community of dreamers, doers, and believers. Let's continue to aim high, support one another, and push the boundaries of what's possible. Our journey is far from over, and we can't wait to create more memories, chase new horizons, and add even more awards to this incredible collection. #ChampioningExcellence #RecognizingSuccess #CollectingHonors #BeyondTheTrophies #MilestoneMoments #BuildingLegends #InspiringVictories #HonoringHardWork #CelebratingTogether #DreamsRealized #ShapingOurStory #LeadingWithPassion #CreatingHistory #GrowthAndGlory #DrivingAmbition #PoweredByPurpose #ElevateTheStandard #TheArtOfSuccess #PathToGreatness
