much wow thank you um I have two minutes uh and I timed it so I promise it won't be longer than that uh before I launched uh my own Professional Services firm um in 2018 um at the young age of 47 um I belong to a firm where fraternizing with the competition uh was definitely not encouraged um we kept to our silos and I always found it uh bizarre and strangely insular how there was no Community amongst executive Search professionals but it was precisely when I met up here in the business at a conference a few years later and my team met his team and we chatted and we laughed and we commiserated and related to one another as professionals and as humans quite frankly uh that a light bulb went off for me we should do more of this so if you fast forward a year or so later and my firm M Roland partners became a member of the aesc that was a big moment for us as everyone here in the room knows uh being a part of the aesc is a good thing and here's why because professional development matters because sharing best practices matters and because Community matters these three things I think help us do the best possible work um for our clients as well a community like the one in this room also matters particularly at a time when you know as I think we all know there is confusion around who we are as executive Search and Leadership consultants and who we are not we've seen this in Ontario where the provincial government's new licensing of quote unquote recruiters has egregiously lumped Us in with the temporary help agency industry and its treatment on the part of some of them of vulnerable workers thank you to Karen green bomb and Kathy Logue for their leadership here and helping to craft after response from the aesc to the proposed legislation and for adding our voices to the chorus of Professionals in our business who said that's not who we are this helped us pressure the government to lose at least a portion of some of the most questionable pieces of the legislation when I launched my firm I would have never considered myself anyone who can move the needle for a charitable cause in any significant way that's where Community comes in once again by building a great team around me and identifying where I and my team could potentially have an impact we were able to incrementally make a difference when you do that a number of things happen your brand gets noticed you potentially help others on your team see what kind of a difference they themselves can make and you realize that even as a smaller firm you can punch above your weight and you can compete with much bigger companies even in charitable efforts giving is also good for the soul and caring your Comm for your community feels good thank you to Karen green bomb to Lynn Murphy Rivera and the members of the aes's nomination committee this is a very meaningful award for me and I'm sincerely appreciative thank you [Music]
