AS A NEW YORK TRANSPLANT, SUPPORTING THE DETROIT LIONS HAS TAUGHT ME A THING OR TWO ABOUT DETERMINATION. Having never won a Super Bowl- or even getting close to winning one- they are are a force to be reckoned with as they want this win like no other team-despite difficult odds. Two years ago, the quarterback, Jared Goff, was "dumped" by the LA Rams and Detroit Lions Coach Dan Campbell-an underdog in the coaching arena- both came to town to build a team from scratch and take it to the Super Bowl. When asked to what he attributes his success, his answer is "the team has GRIT." I translate this lesson into my area of business development where the deals seem to be getting tougher, the costs of running a business are higher, and overall "work ethic" seems to be lacking. It's a tough world out there- and it seems to be getting tougher. But like the Lions, one learns the lesson of maintaining their goals and objectives and keeping their "eye on the prize"- and the prize is success no matter the challenges we face in today's world. I look forward to the Lions game on Sunday and the eyes of America are on this team. And whether they win or not, they have taught us a valuable life lesson. #CRE #commercialleasing #commercialbroker #realestate #realestatebroker #realestateexpert #retail #retailstores #retailbusiness #icsc #retailleasing #retailrealestate

Endurance and Excellence: The (Knicks &) Toth Event Staffing Spirit 🌟 At Toth Event Staffing, our core values are more than just words—they are the very essence of our daily operations and achievements. Tonight, as we celebrate the wins of the Knicks and Villanova squad, I'm reminded of these foundational qualities that parallel the virtues seen on the court. 1. Resourceful Service: Just as our staff tackles challenges head-on, solving problems before they reach our clients, our favorite teams displayed unmatched resourcefulness, turning potential setbacks into strategic advantages. 2. Professionalism: Our team’s professionalism mirrors that of the Knicks and Villanova players who, well-prepared and poised, compete with integrity and respect. 3. Calming Influence: Amid the high stakes of professional sports, like in our events, maintaining a calming presence is crucial. Both our staff and these athletes exemplify how staying composed can steer the course to victory. 4.Gracious Leadership: Leadership on and off the court is about lifting others up. Our leaders, some who have been with us since our inception in 2011, share the same spirit of mentorship and guidance that coaches instill in their teams. 5. Experience: Experience counts—whether it's hosting a seamless event or navigating a tight game. Our seasoned professionals and these veteran players both show the confidence that comes from years of practice and dedication. 6. Quality/Longevity/Endurance: We make decisions for the long haul, much like how a sports team builds for future seasons. Tonight's victories are just one example of enduring success achieved through commitment to quality. Celebrating not just the victories, but the enduring spirit and shared values that make them possible. Let’s go Knicks! Let’s go Villanova Squad! Cheers to Hartenstein, Mitchell Robinson, OG Anunoby, McBride, Precious, Hart, Divencenzo, and Jalen Brunson for their incredible performances and embodiment of these principles. #TothEventStaffing #TeamValues #Sportsmanship

It's #MeetTheTeam Tuesday!👋 Say hello to Jose "Bear" Hernandez. Bear works with our NGI National Constructors team in Cedar Springs, GA and has been with us for over 10 years! #LiveIt. 1.) What brought you to this company? It must have been the luck of the draw. I was having a conversation with an old buddy who still works with us and he convinced me to give it a shot. What can I say, been here ever since. 2.) What's the best thing about your job? The people I work with, just getting to teach other people coming up in the trade and like they say, we learn something new everyday. 3.) Who or what motivates you? I would have to say my Dad. I came up in the trade with him. He would always tell me to set my goals and achieve them. He taught me my work ethic and that is what pushed me to get my Texas Master's License. 4.) What's your favorite quote? If you want to make everyone happy, don't be a leader, sell ice cream. 5.) What's your favorite sports team? Dallas Cowboys 6.) What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Just relaxing and spending quality time with my wife and three kids.

Now that football season is over, along with the suffering of my fellow Pats fans and our attention turns to baseball with Spring Training up the street in Ft Myers, this might be the smartest thing the Red Sox have done this off season. Manager Alex Cora invited Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart to speak to the Red Sox! Yup, you read that right. In a recent local interview Cora was quoted as saying: “We invited him to come over, talk about leadership, how we can get a group together of different talents, different levels to make it work. What they do in his job, in his domain, is amazing. You’ve got to be on point on everything. He just had a great talk with the players. It was very eye-opening the way they go about their business, the way they make everything work. And it was a good morning for all of us.” And Lockhart had this to say: “When you deal with the Boston Symphony or the Boston Pops you’re dealing with a group of, within their field, elite athletes. The same kind of people who have spent five to six hours a day since they were five or six years old perfecting a craft, that brings with it the challenges of building a team out of people who, up until this level, the team was built around them. Because everybody here was the star in high school or college and in Triple-A, and all of a sudden there are a bunch of stars, so how do you get people focused on a common goal and mutually supportive?” As someone who's spent the majority of his professional career selling sports and now music, I found this collaboration nothing short of brilliant. My takeaway from this is EVERYONE has got to check their egos at the door or diamond, commit to the team, mesh and respect diverse personalities and play nice together at the very best of their abilities for any team to succeed. Every. Single. Day. And these leaders insights naturally apply to the business world as well. Obviously we Boston sports team fans are a tough lot to please. We expect excellence and championships. 20 Years of watching the GOAT's leadership has spoiled us. Never mind the recent past successes of the Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins. And I think taking a look at how one of the premier musical conductors in the world leads his "team" to perform at their highest level individually as well as a team is a genius move by these people managers. Wonder if the Pats owner has taken "note" of the Boston Pops leaders message with a new rookie coach? And no veteran QB to lead? Time will tell. Meanwhile, who's ready to hear Play Ball? Right after the National Anthem? #Leadership #RedSox #AlexCora #BSO #BostonPops #KeithLockhart #NewEnglandPatriots https://lnkd.in/eEBPeFTE

What do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and GTM have in common? To be successful, you need to execute the following: 1. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 🤝 working together is essential, from the offense to the defense to the special teams groups.  When all are aligned, then you have an excellent opportunity to WIN! 2. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻  📣 teamwork only truly works if everyone is openly communicating and the other people on the other parts of the teams understand what you are communicating - Talking and Listening (actively). 3. 𝗜𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 🔁 once you understand the landscape and how the market (or other team) is working - then you need to iterate and execute - this is a continuous process. What would you add? Next week, the Detroit Lions

In a defining week for Seattle football, a legend in Pete Carroll steps down, the heartbreak of losing the national championship game lingers, and the spark for the future heads to Alabama with Kalen DeBoer's departure stirring mixed emotions. Amidst these changes, I have to pause to honor the profound journey DeBoer has navigated. His grit, determination, and unwavering commitment to actualizing goals have indelibly marked the path. In my own transformative journey, transitioning from Coast Guard service to a new career, I am bring a unique perspective forged through purposeful translation of military precision and leadership into critical business functionalities. Evolving with each career progression, the foundational elements shift, yet enduring core principles enrich decision-making, foster innovation, and drive transformative outcomes within security operations, investigations, and crisis management. Change, I've learned, not only presents growth opportunities but a chance to apply these enduring lessons in my next chapter. Here's to embracing transitions and building on the foundation laid by legends like Pete Carroll and the unique path forged by Kalen DeBoer. 🏈#opentowork #securitymanagement #crisismanagement #investigations #seahawks #huskeyfootball #petecarroll #KalenDeBoer #Grit #LeadershipBrand #Resilience
