Looking back on 2022, I am filled with awe and gratitude at the ways I have learned from my UG2 family.
As a family, we all play a part. It takes intention and hard work, yet so many of you make it appear effortless. Our teams help and support each other with compassion and humanity. I have seen UG2 employees, customers, colleagues, and partners of all ages and backgrounds show up for each other when it matters most.
Let’s celebrate the lessons we have learned from one another over the past year. Here are some exceptional things I’ve learned from you all:
Tenacity, Grit, and Humility
You model tenacity, grit and humility when we take on new challenges or strive to become citizens of our customer’s industries. I see it in small but equally important ways such as when someone demonstrates patience when teaching and sharing something new with a colleague or when a coworker or customer offers compliments and confidence-builders to someone new to a position.
Courage and Leadership
I witness it when you model courage in bringing your perspective to a challenging conversation, when you model leadership in lifting us all up with your own success, and when you model humility in your willingness to acknowledge a misstep, or gratitude when you take the time to acknowledge someone’s hard work.
Thirst for Learning
An openness to learning is so important in our world today. I am grateful to those of you that bring a spirit of lifelong learning to tasks and initiatives both small and large.
As we close out 2022, let’s continue to appreciate one another and continue to support one another. In a world that is ever-changing, let’s take solace in the fact that we will always strive to have one another’s back.
I’m going into this New Year with gratitude, hope, and excitement and I can’t wait to see what more we can achieve together!
I wish you and your loved ones peace and a 2023 filled with blessings.
With warm regards,
Lou Lanzillo
