Waste Today’s Post

Today marks my 13th Anniversary as a member of The Brydens Group. I feel privileged to have had the chance to collaborate with influential individuals who have enabled me to forge a fulfilling path while contributing value to the organization. Reflecting on my journey, if you had asked me at the outset if I envisioned myself in my current role, I would likely have answered affirmatively. I have always been driven and recognized the unique skillset I possess and how it can effectively be utilized. My philosophy includes volunteering my talents where I believe they can make a difference, regardless of personal gain. This approach has not only opened doors to unforeseen opportunities but also allowed me to display abilities beyond my designated responsibilities. At Brydens, I have transitioned from Brand Manager to Business Development Manager and now Group Corporate Affairs Manager—a career trajectory that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. Each role has been a learning experience, allowing me to refine my skills and maintain a perpetual sense of excitement. Ultimately, it boils down to comprehending your value. In essence, if you view yourself as a brand, what principles do you stand for? My journey highlights the significance of hard work, belief, and being a bit of a dreamer. Defining your identity and ensuring that you consistently deliver on it is paramount. As I celebrate 13 years with Brydens with great enthusiasm, I hope, in your journey, you too have a narrative of growth and self-discovery, where you have carved out opportunities by recognizing your inherent value.

As we continue to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and the milestones we have achieved, our focus naturally turns to the future. We are filled with excitement as we consider the strengths and opportunities that lie ahead of our staff. Our greatest assets are our employees - a group of talented individuals who have contributed to our success and will continue to play a crucial role in shaping our future. ⁠We connected with Keegan Bunt about how he feels about the future of the firm.  ⁠*What do you see in the future for your professional growth here? ⁠"Endless knowledge. With how the firm is structured I can work on a new type of project almost daily, with that I am constantly learning new things."⁠  *What has been the most valuable lesson you have learned so far? "⁠Work doesn’t have to be something you endure or dread. With the right environment and people it can be the highlight of your day."

My #InsuranceStory: I went to college for Criminal Justice and Arabic. Super insurancey right?!?! WRONG! I worked in various #jobs in Probation and Parole, Corrections as well as a social worker after I graduated. They were all jobs to me. I went overseas and became a defense contractor. I was responsible for going off base and surveying battle damaged vehicles and bringing them back to base for retrograde or disposing of them. Essentially material damage adjusting or field auto appraising of multi-million dollar vehicles. I was getting ready to come home and end my second contract and I put an application at Erie Insurance Group. Why? Advice from my Father: "If you're going to come back to your hometown, you might as well work at the best company in your hometown while you figure out what you want to do next." Little did I know what would come next is 11 great years with the organization, countless friendships and partnerships. Insurance was meant to be a stepping stone to something else. It was a stepping stone into a great company and life. Have you ever considered #insurance? Sick of just surviving in a job? Click below to see where you could thrive with an #insurancecareer.

I just had my 3-year anniversary working at a start-up: Here are 4 things I learned: 1. Quality is a differentiator 2. High-impact work > Quantity of work 3. Don't lose sight of the big picture 4. Being personable goes a long way I'm looking forward to another 3 years.

Check out our first post!

Being recognized by your boss + company is such a good feeling… an even better feeling is confidently saying you have the best boss + job you could ask for✨ Each quarter is a clean slate to work as hard as possible to achieve not only your professional goals, but your personal goals. Each quarter comes with challenges. Market challenges | Economy challenges | Personal challenges at home. Each quarter ALSO comes with opportunities. If we choose to adapt to the challenges with resilience, creativity, + teamwork that is what sets us apart. I am closing the book on Q3 feeling proud + excited to celebrate everyone that achieved their Q3 goals together in Disney🎉 Here’s to Q4 + facing every challenge together as a team + to finding good people, good jobs while also achieving personal and professional goals you set for yourself💫 #recruiting #hiring #jobot #jobotjobs #thatjobotlife | Jobot

For many of us today is the first working day after the holidays . Over the weekend we wished family and friends a Happy New Year 🎆 Secretly we probably all hope that the New Year will be good to us and will bring us luck. 🍀 But hoping for luck is maybe exactly what is hindering us from living the life we desire. It usually doesn’t happen and is probably the cause why so many people I know don’t like the New Year’s celebrations. 😖 In Germany we have a saying: “We are all the Blacksmith of our own Happiness”. It is not handed over to us by other people or the Universe. The first questions 🙋🏻♀️ I am asking myself over the weekend are: 🔹What has made me really feel content and happy last year? 🔹What was it, which gave me satisfying lasting happy memories (not fleeting short term ones)? 🔹 What can I actively do to build more of it in to my life? Let’s work on becoming the Blacksmith of our own destiny.

Join us in celebrating this month's Employee Spotlight: Andrey Shafigullin! Learn more about Andrey below! How long have you been working with NASCENT?: 1 year and 8 months now (20 months) Favorite memory at NASCENT?: Our last Holydays Party at "Top Golf" - That was FUN! What does a typical day look like for you?: I usually start at 7:30AM by digging through some emails and Teems messages and reviewing my tasks and setting up a goal for a day. We also have our daily stand-up meeting in the morning to report and/or resolve any blockers. Day goes on with fulfilling tasks and performing our best as a team to deliver best possible product. Favorite part of the job?: My favorite part would be to communicate and collaborate with my team members, to resolve an issue or generate a solution. That is an exciting part of my job. Do you have any advice for anyone working at Nascent?: Remember that a job, even a great job or a fantastic career, doesn’t give your life meaning, at least not by itself. Life is about what you learn, who you are or can become, who you love and are loved by.

“Wow, you really stepped out of your comfort zone!” – said by a former colleague I hadn’t seen in 18-months. It didn’t seem so scary when I said ‘yes!’ to the new job a year ago, but once I was in it, it was really, really hard. The work was exciting, and the team was filled with smart, talented, fun-to-work-with-people. So, why was it so hard? For the first time in a long time, I didn’t know the answers right away, or which contributions would add value in meetings, or even who to call when I needed to phone a friend for help. I call these times in my career “seasons” – those growth periods that bring big change as well as improvements month-over-month until one day – you know who to call for help and/or past expertise collides with new expertise in a way that you can take the work to the NEXT LEVEL. 🚀 Today I'm celebrating my 1-year anniversary (🍾) and sharing a few personal lessons from this season. 💫 Invest in your network – regardless of where you are in your career, these authentic connections will carry you through. 💫 Learn when it’s time to say ‘yes’ to your next role – to know me, is to know that I LOVED my previous role, but the reality is, I should have stepped out of my comfort zone sooner. 💫 Recognize that the journey will take time – much like the hike in the photo, the path out of the canyon had a lot of ups and downs, switchbacks, and rocky terrain. 🫠 Breaking the climb down into manageable distances, assessing the terrain in the next section, and taking rest breaks led to the overall goal. Thanks for joining me on this journey. 🫶It turned out even better than I hoped it would – and that’s pretty awesome.
