Theater Alliance was so pleased to join Booz Allen Hamilton at The Anthem for their Booz Allen Excellence Awards! The talented team of Theater Alliance artists and youth "brought the magic" to the evening of WOW led by Natalie Ade, Kari Merkel, and team.
Arts organizations get asked to perform at these kind of events all the time - and as an artistic leader, we get asked to make those decisions. For me, the question always comes down to #values. Does the organization align with our values of integrity, diversity, and excellence? Does the organization value artists? Does the organization live their values? With #BoozAllenHamilton, the answer was a resounding YES.
Even in the first conversation about the event, we didn't talk about what they needed or how to make all their dreams come true on a tiny budget. Instead, we talked about what they believe in and what we believe in - we talked about the WHY of our organizations. That is what makes a great collaboration and I'm grateful!

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President at Booz Allen Hamilton
I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible achievements of my colleagues who received nominations and awards at this year's #BoozAllen Excellence Awards. It was an honor to recognize the teams who deliver excellence each day, bringing innovative solutions to the most urgent needs of our clients and our communities. We have the most amazing people, and I am so proud to work with them and empower people to change the world.
Thank you to Rob Silverman and everyone who made this year's event a success. And congratulations to all our winners and nominees!

GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony.
To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate.
Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality.
When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation.
Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.
We’ve received 254 nominations for our Gold Star Awards, an impressive 42% increase on last year.
Our awards are an important opportunity for us to recognise and reward the colleagues and teams who go above and beyond and enable us provide a great service to our customers.
Our final ceremony will take place on Wednesday 3 July 2024. We can’t wait to crown our winners, good luck everyone!
Honoured to receive the Rising Star Award! It is with great pride and gratitude that I accept this recognition for my hard work, dedication, and passion in my field. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all those who have supported and believed in me throughout this incredible journey. #RisingStar#Greatful#OnwardAndUpward#RisingStar#AchievementUnlocked#GratefulHeart #GratefulBeyondWords#VerifiedMarketResearch
You may have a seen a post I shared a few weeks ago receiving an award and wondering why it took me a year to celebrate that win publicly (this photo is from that same event).
Upon reflection, I've realized that my hesitance to celebrate is part of a larger pattern. I have never stopped to really celebrate my wins. I am guilty of constantly moving on to the next thing dismissing past achievements as if they were mere steps on an endless escalator. The win, once it's in the rearview mirror, somehow loses its sheen because it's "in the past."
I cannot be the only one who is like this. Am I? Help me out here.
But I am coming to understand that celebrating our achievements isn't about living in the past; it's about recognizing the journey and the growth that comes with each milestone.
Many of us, myself included, are wired to look forward, to chase the horizon. There's always a new goal, a new challenge. And while that drive is valuable, it's equally important to pause, look back, and honour how far we've come. Our wins, big or small, are not just trophies to collect but reminders of our resilience, hard work, and the support we've had along the way.
Even in writing this I know I will still find it challenging to do, so, I'm making a commitment to not only chase the future but to also honour the present and respect the past. I endeavour to celebrate my wins, to savour the moments of success, and to appreciate the journey because the future is never guaranteed.
Will you join me in this practice if you have battled this same malady?

The most important thing to know in a business is what your customers think about it,
Ours said it very well...🏆👏🙏
But the true story behind it is the ecosystem we have with our employees and partners,
They are all valuable to us
Of all the awards we receive, this is the one that means the most to us. It reflects the dedicated efforts and teamwork of everyone and every role in the company for our customers, every day. Read our press release to learn why we earned this tremendous honor from our amazing customers! https://okt.to/4PS9EO
I recently made a mistake when celebrating a great month in our company.
We blew away our goal and I wanted to recognize our team.
Instead of just congratulating our team for their great accomplishment, I threw in the dreaded "but" at the end of it.
"but, next month will most likely be much different."
There was no need for me to do this.
I intended to shield them from a possible letdown the following month since we always have a strong January.
The "but" was not necessary at that time (and probably not at all).
Celebrate your wins.
Recognize the success of your team - the other stuff can wait.
A well-informed team already knows of the challenges that may lie ahead and is prepared to handle them.
Let celebrating your wins stand on its own.
Do not dilute what your team accomplished.
Interestingly, February came and they beat our target for that month as well.....and did it again in March.

🎉 Celebrating wins
As I reflect on a busy week here at Sea Global I think it’s so important to celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small! It can sometimes be very easy to get caught up in the end results and diminish your smaller wins.
Whether that would be delivering a project, renegotiating a contract or simply making some headway with a stakeholder.
What wins have you celebrated this week?
