The President’s Corner :
Dear SuncoastHR Members:
How is your transformation coming along? Are you diligent with your actions to improve or create positive change in your life? For
the record, it’s working for me.
It has now been four months since the commencement of this journey of transformation together, and I can truly say that you are
the wind beneath the wings of my transformation. The countless work and life related stories that so many of you have graciously
shared with me have been so motivating. It is now clear to me how we have earned the reputation of being a friendly chapter. The
characteristics of our leadership team and our members are over-whelming. A few immediately come to mind which are genuine,
caring, intelligent, and trustworthy. There isn’t a better place that I could have chosen in which to share my journey of transfor-
mation this year. You have inspired me to become a better person each and every day, and for that. I am most grateful. Thank you.
Recently, I read an article which suggested if you have persons in your life with whom you can’t quite connect, listen to their stories.
It will change the way you feel about those persons, and could change your life for the good, forever. So, if you haven’t yet found
that one area in your life in which you can clearly determine you want to transform, perhaps you can try this suggestion.
Finally, last evening we had an amazing social member event. A special thank you to Brian Lieberman of Vaco, who sponsored the
event, and to our SuncoastHR team member’s Brian Hanrahan, Meghan Helman Bedell and their team members who worked hard
to make it a success. If you weren’t able to join us, you must mark your calendar and join us next time. It was a blast! We also have
some exciting events ahead beginning with our next chapter meeting on May 15th and a one-time special event on June 3rd. I hope
to see you there!
Warm Regards,
Mary
