Giving Thanks, From The Talent Trade

Speaker: 00:00:00

Hi, this is Stephanie Maas, partner with Thinking Ahead Executive Search.

Speaker: 00:00:06

This is one of my favorite holidays of the year, Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:00:10

I love Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:00:13

I mean, let's be honest, what's not to like?

Speaker: 00:00:16

The food is phenomenal.

Speaker: 00:00:18

I tend to partake in adult beverages, probably a little bit more than I normally do.

Speaker: 00:00:23

Quality time with the ones that you love the most.

Speaker: 00:00:26

I love a good afternoon football game in the cold, crisp air after you just had a huge Thanksgiving dinner and it's way too much.

Speaker: 00:00:34

I love sitting around in lounge pants for the next three days as I try and work through all that food that I just ate.

Speaker: 00:00:40

It's an amazing time of the year.

Speaker: 00:00:43

But of course, my favorite reason for this time of the year is because of the focus, the focus on being thankful and grateful.

Speaker: 00:00:53

And I will tell you, and anyone that knows me hopefully could say the same thing.

Speaker: 00:00:58

I am incredibly thankful.

Speaker: 00:01:01

I have an amazing family.

Speaker: 00:01:04

I have amazing career.

Speaker: 00:01:06

The people I get to work with.

Speaker: 00:01:09

I'm incredibly thankful for you.

Speaker: 00:01:11

I'm thankful for the folks who say, Hey, I never take cold calls, but I'll take yours anyway.

Speaker: 00:01:15

I'm thankful for those that say, Hey, your approach stunk.

Speaker: 00:01:18

You need to try this and do better.

Speaker: 00:01:20

Of course, I'm thankful for the clients who say, Yeah, we'll partner with you on our next search.

Speaker: 00:01:24

I'm thankful for the candidates who say, I'll trust you with my next move.

Speaker: 00:01:29

So this Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:01:31

Thank you.

Speaker: 00:01:32

I sincerely appreciate being in business with you.

Speaker: 00:01:35

So as I think about going into Thanksgiving, again, I'm excited for all the things I always am and as I sit around after I've eaten too much and probably drank a little bit too much too, I am going to reflect and I'm going to talk about how thankful I am for my people and I hope you get the same opportunity.
