One of the great truths that I have come to learn over the years is that the more you help others achieve their hopes, goals, and dreams, the more you tend to grow toward achieving your own. This can come in many forms and fashions in work and in everyday life.

eGroup is committed to growing team members' knowledge and skillsets, and to promoting from within. Working with individuals on their goals and helping them pursue and achieve them is my favorite thing about being here. It is amazing to see the growth in people, and how they can step up when they are given some direction, guidance and a little opportunity. Success is infectious. See a co-worker work hard and win and others will naturally follow!

Several times each year, the eGroup team volunteers to work on one of the local houses as part of Habitat for Humanity. The times I have been able to participate in this, I have always taken away so much from the time spent with eGroup team members and others while onsite. Also, seeing the look on the future homeowner’s face is uplifting. To hear that person passionately tell me their journey and how the opportunity to be in this house will change their lives is uplifting! Additionally, they are so grateful for the help and support from their community - all they needed was a chance!

Helping our customers succeed is what we do every day at eGroup. We strive to make technology enable those businesses to succeed, whether in a manufacturing environment, law firm, or in a non-profit hospital. If technology can allow them to do new and better things, then they can focus on the mission of their business.

My challenge to you today is to see how you can help someone else succeed. How can you help someone today?
