The People Behind Your Future

🌊 The Future is Behind Us 🌊

This year marked a big step for our family as my daughter Journey competed in her first competitive swim meet with USA Swimming. Having excelled in summer swim leagues, she’s now swimming year-round—and this meet was her debut alongside six other teams. Journey didn’t just show up; she excelled, taking first place in her events.

But let me tell you, that victory didn’t come without serious investment. Journey is following in the footsteps of me and my wife, both former competitive swimmers. While she’s receiving excellent coaching, there’s also a lot that happens behind the scenes. Her training goes beyond physical skills; we focus on nurturing her mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health—setting her up for success through rest, affirmation, perspective, and resilience.

I once had a pastor share with me the idea that “the future is always behind us.” That simple truth has stayed with me throughout my 25 years in talent acquisition. It’s a reminder that, if you want to see where your business is heading, look at who you’re hiring and investing in right now. Your future isn’t somewhere far off—it’s right behind you in the talent you choose, nurture, and equip to lead.

So, let me ask:
🔹 Are you investing in the right environment for your people to thrive?
🔹 Are you equipping your team with the tools to succeed?
🔹 Are you cultivating a shared mission?

Just like Journey, who may one day be an Olympian, talent doesn’t just grow by chance. It requires intentionality, support, and a shared vision. We’re here to help you understand and define your mission, shape a culture that aligns with it, and match and retain talent that drives your success.

Because the future? It’s in the people behind you. Let’s build it together. 💼🌱
