“One of the things I appreciate most about First Coast is that Jason and Aaron have never hesitated to invest in the betterment of their people. Whether it’s sending team members to conferences, creating opportunities for leadership development, or something as simple as encouraging us to continue learning- our individual growth is something that’s genuinely valued here. As a creative person, it means the world to me that I’m able to continue developing both my personal and professional skills under their guidance. Having leaders who not only support growth, but actively create opportunities for it, is something I never take for granted!!
Over the past few days, I had the opportunity to listen to some amazing speakers, learn from some incredibly bright minds, and walk away with ideas that will make me a better contributor to our team. Days like these remind me how grateful I am to hold a seat within leadership at First Coast and to be part of an organization that believes investing in its people is one of the best investments they could make!
An obvious highlight from this conference was having the opportunity to watch Jason take the stage at TAG to empower the broker community in the same way he empowers our internal team every single day. Watching others experience the same leadership and encouragement that we get to experience firsthand felt extra special.
Helping build and grow Kindler Coaching has been one of my favorite projects I’ve had the opportunity to work on during my time at First Coast and I’m so excited to see where it goes from here.
I have tremendous amount of gratitude for the leaders who continue to invest in us, challenge us, and create an environment where growth is not only encouraged, but expected daily.”
