Ok so I know I should not have this perception of December being a slow month, but I do.
So anyhoo, I have been working with one of my consultants on promoting to director. She has a strong show schedule, she is consistent, and she had all of these leads out but seemingly no bites.
Well guess what?!?! They all bit this month!!!
She has everything in place and will be promoting this month! HOLY MONKEYS!! I knew she would promote, but I was thinking January or February.
I am so so so so so excited for her.
WAHOOOOOO!!!!
 
YAY Becky!!!!!!! :party:
 
That's GREAT news Becky!!! Congratulations!!! :D
 
that is so exciting!! congrats!!
 
Congrats Becky!!!
 
It's crazy how we get even more excited for the successes of our team than we do for our own, isn't it? Like very proud parents! :)

Congratulations!
 
I'm the same way Becky! I get so wrapped up in watching their success that I tend to forget that ther promotion means my promotion. ;)
 
WAHOO!!! Congratulations!!!
