I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on my drum all day! Hey – welcome to the last weekly update for 2020. Made it. Done. Stick a fork in 2020. I am ready for a couple of catch-up weeks and a few days off to celebrate and reset. Put the work down and bang on my drum. What a year. I’m mindful of celebrating making it through the year with a muted tone in light of the current situation we find ourselves in. Sadly, I just had a friend pass away from COVID yesterday. The reality of the impact continues even as we’re hopeful for a new year with the promise of a vaccine and a path towards more of something that might be normal.
Looking back on 2020, I’m thankful for a lot of things – our Solution Providers, our Strategic partners in SLI and Sea-Level and our Facilitators that have gone above and beyond this year. I’m very thankful for you, our members, for how well you’ve executed, how you responded to getting punched in the face and how you enable the world to continue to work. In the context of the business and economic world, I would make the case that you and your teams are unsung heroes equipping the world to keep turning while most people were compelled to stay home.
While 2020 ended up driving us, the Evolve team is working to drive 2021. We’re excited about what 2021 will bring. We’re partnering next year with SLI and Sea-Level and also expanding some of our content delivery to some great companies that have skills and tools we need in our companies. We’ll be sharing more of that in January. Also, we’re working on some exciting new content we were planning on building in 2020 that will now get some attention and we think it will be well received.
A lot to be thankful and grateful for as we reflect on this year. With that in mind I’m going to leave you with a slideshow of memories Peggy and Mike Pearce put together. Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year! Thanks for being a part of Evolve – stay healthy, lean strong and we’ll see you in 2021!
