In the midst of the Covid crisis, there is a lot to be thankful for. It’s important for us all to pause and reflect on the good things in life, big and small. I am grateful for our Vistage community and the care and concern members have for each other. Send what you are grateful for to Linsay at admin@tomcuthbert.com.
“I’m grateful that both me and my husband have flexible jobs that support working from home and are understanding about the fact that we are here needing to homeschool as well! Also grateful that its FRIDAY!! 😄” - Mandy
“I'm grateful that our company is still rolling along, I am gainfully employed, and my family is in good health (and spirits).” - Ben
“I am grateful for all my family and my work family's health, that we are able to continue working, that I have an amazing network of caring people like you all. I am grateful for zoom and Disney+” - Monica
“I am grateful for so many things but mostly my health and family's health. I am also incredibly proud to work for our company. Our senior leadership team has done an amazing job within a matter of a week into a completely remote work environment. That is almost 2,000 employees ww! They have spared no expense in allowing leaders like myself to approve whatever is needed for my team to work from home (monitors, full office set up in some cases). We have had two webinars on Managing through hardship which have been great resources for me, leading such a large team completely remote. AND we are trucking through our quarter close without many hiccups yet (knock on wood). It's a testament to having an amazing team and having the tools as a leader to guide them through it all. Today is a good day 😊” - Lauren
“I’m grateful that my family is all doing well and staying healthy. I’m grateful to be part of a wonderful company and team along with our students who believe in our mission while having to move to remote learning. I’m also grateful for all of you. ☺Also, TGIF!” - Liz
“I am really proud of my team. We started preparing last week for the PPP program and hit the ground running on Friday morning. There have been hitches with the SBA online portal but it is mostly working. We worked through the weekend and late nights. Nationwide the PPP process was slow getting off the ground due to a lack specific guidance from the SBA. Many bankers were reticent to participate until the details were clear. In the meantime PPP Applications were coming in like an avalanche.” - Steve

I’m grateful for our company and all the positive impacts we are having on our clients businesses. Especially now! I thankful for my extended Vistage family for the support and connectedness we continue to have.” - John S.
“I'm grateful for all that as well. Also grateful that in these times we can look at what's important in the grand scheme. I reconnected with a family member for the first time in almost 3 years. We talked for hours. I'm grateful to have him back in my life. I’m also grateful for kids nearby, can watch them grow and watch normal life happen in the middle of all of this.” - Cindy
“I’m grateful for my health, my family, the people around me like my team & folks such as yourselves. I had a zoom call with all 6 of my siblings yesterday & I can’t recall the last time we we’re all in the same room together it was just as fun as the real thing. “ - Meghan
“I am grateful because it is times like this that put a lot of things in perspective. I get so fixated on the issue of the day that I forget to step back and realize all of the great people that I call friends/family and experiences that I have enjoyed. I have reconnected with several old friends in the last few days and it has been great. We will all get through this situation and hopefully we will all learn to be more appreciative of the blessings we have.” - Kevin

“I am thankful for my family, for my children, for my friends - including all of you. I am also for clients who see the value in what I do and are staying the course with a slight pivot in focus. It is nice having a greater connection than before with more frequent touches. It is helping me keep focused and calm. Also, Facetime, able to see family faces and surroundings, even seniors are using! Crayolas and poster board give us new ways to celebrate!” - Leslie

“I am definitely grateful to be able to meet with peers who inspire me with their courage, leadership and willingness to help others in a time where none of us have a playbook for how to exist, be productive and lead. I am also grateful for the leadership of Tom and Amy. I am grateful for my wife and family and their willingness to learn new normals. I am grateful for my company USI, that is well positioned to be a leader and resource for the business community during this crisis. And I have a brand new appreciation for teachers, wow we need to pay them more when things get back to normal. A lot more!!” - Greg
