How can this be? Has this ever happened to you? All of a sudden time has slipped by so fast. Do you notice? Do you mark it or celebrate it in some way? For me, it's always about the people. Today is the 10th anniversary of me "being on my own," and no longer a corporate executive. I have to say that I loved ❤️ both lives. It also gave me a great appreciation for the differences - and all the lovely people on this journey. I cherish my first career at Pitney Bowes and all the great folks there. And the funny thing is that MANY of those same PB people are still part of my professional life in some way. Many are long time friends. Many have become clients or referred me. Many just send me notes via LinkedIn I have also met so many incredible NEW people who are now friends, clients, prospects, subcontractors, partners, fellow speakers, and authors. I just wanted to take a moment to put a finger on today's date and say "10 Years!" I am excited for the next ten years and thank everyone in my LinkedIn network for their support and friendship. It's really all about the people. Be a Friend First. Now my questions for you all.....IS it all about the people for you too?? Have you transitioned from one career to another? What stands out for you? #people #linkedin #network
Congratulations on this achievement. I, like you, did a long stint at Pitney Bowes and met some great people that I still have relationships with even after being gone for almost 25 years. I've retired FOUR TIMES...I suck at retirement. But I keep coming out of retirement because I absolutely love working with people, especially when they are hungry to learn. They learn from me AND I learn from them. Life is a journey - ENJOY THE RIDE. All the best to your next 10 years of continuing to make a difference.
It is always about the people. Those we work with, those we support, and those that become life long friends. Happy Anniversary PRC the best is yet to come.
I remember sitting with you in a restaurant 10+ years ago where you sketched out the early concept of your future business on a napkin. Congratulations! Author. TED speaker. LinkedIn expert. Sales leader. I can only imagine what’s ahead. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations Sandra, on your 10-year milestone! Time really does fly, doesn't it? The relationships we build throughout our lives are so valuable. May the next ten years bring even more amazing connections and opportunities your way. And remember, as the great philosopher Winnie the Pooh once said, "A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside." Cheers 🥂💜
You have a pre-teen again!
Congratulations

1yCongratulations on reaching this important Milestone. I bet over the 10 years you have seen quite an evolution of this platform. I learned quite a bit from your Social Selling Brainstorming and Networking session in Boston at Inbound19. The best part was getting to meet you in person.
