Hi Friend,
 
Here's a quick note to kick off this month's Digest – with two business updates and a personal milestone to share.
 
1 - Our Leaders to Learn From series just got a glow-up: meet The Five Star Manager Spotlight. This new, nomination-driven feature highlights managers who lead with heart, clarity, and courage. Scroll down to recognize someone who makes work better.
 
2 - This month's Becoming with Margie explores the (often unsettling) “in-between" seasons of life that don't get enough air time. Give it a read and let me know what you think.
 
3 - Next week my son turns one. Yes – it feels like we just brought him home from the hospital. I am grateful for all that year one has taught me, and glad I'm still standing. I love you, Sam.
 
With gratitude, Margie
Founder & CEO, The Thirlby Co.

A leadership feature rooted in what really matters
Since the launch of The Digest, The Thirlby Co. has been recognizing outstanding leaders in the community through our Leaders to Learn From series. While we've loved sharing about our honorees, we've decided to evolve the feature into something that's more aligned with our mission: The Five-Star Manager Spotlight. 
 
The Five-Star Manager Spotlight recognizes people leaders who make a real difference to their teams by modeling the Thirlby Co. habits of confident leadership: leading with emotional intelligence, building belonging, coaching for growth, practicing empathetic accountability, and celebrating wins.
 
If you or someone you know has ever said, “they're the best boss I've ever had,” that's the leader we want to hear about. Please take 10 minutes to nominate a leader in your community today.
 
 
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
 
"Living in alignment moves the needle more than hustling 
ever could."
