It has been quite a year. One of joy, as OneCert celebrated new beginnings with the ownership change and my transition into the role of CEO. One of sadness, as we said goodbye to our formidable founder. One of struggle, as some of us, and some of our dear clients, faced personal hardships. And one of strength, as we pulled together as a team and supported each other through it all.
When I sat down to write this post, I logged into our database and was greeted, as always, by one of Sam’s favorite quotes. That landing page has become a touchstone for me. Whenever I need perspective, I know I’ll find words from Sam that resonate and help me through that moment. Today’s message?
“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his [or her] goals.” — Dorothy Height
The end of the year is an apt time to remember that true success is not about accolades, but about how we carry ourselves in moments of adversity. For OneCert, that means staying grounded in our mission, supporting our clients with integrity, and leaning on each other as we continue to grow.
As we turn the page to a new year, I am filled with gratitude and optimism. I am thankful for the team that surrounds and supports me daily. The strength we showed this past year is the foundation for the growth ahead. Together, we will honor Sam’s vision while moving forward, grounded in the values that make OneCert unique.
