Celebrating FIESTA - San Antonio's Spirit of Diversity & Strength! 🎉   It’s FIESTA! San Antonio, Texas is a city rich in culture and history, and the place we proudly call home at SideKick Operators.    FIESTA San Antonio began in 1891, rooted in tradition, honoring the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. It has since blossomed into an electrifying festival that spotlights our city's diverse cultures, contributing over $340 million to the local economy. It's not just a party; it's a reflection of the strength and work ethic that fortify the backbone of America. As we enjoy the fiesta, we're reminded of the power of community and the impact of unity in diversity. Sidekick Operators stands in solidarity with the enduring spirit of San Antonio, celebrating the rich cultural history that inspires our commitment to innovation, leadership, and success in essential-services industries. 🛠️💼   We are more than business leaders; we are part of a community that rises early, makes a difference, and embraces the work in teamwork. Let's celebrate FIESTA, where the spirit of San Antonio shines, fueling our mission to grow not only businesses, but legacies of teamwork, impact, and shared values.   Happy FIESTA, San Antonio! 🎈 #FIESTASanAntonio #SidekickOperators #Community #Diversity #BusinessGrowth #SanAntonioPride #EssentialServices Justin Steen Chris Galvan Phil Miner Chris Valletta Scott Odom Shawn Koval Beth Lloyd Lili Gil Valletta Bridgehead IT Summit Companies OWL Services The Miner Corporation

Doors 🚪 I recently drew a picture of my career. It had arrows, but I should have drew doors. Doors open and close. Arrows, typically, do not. ➡️ Which door or doors will you take? I’ve opened and closed many doors. Sometimes I’ve taken a leap of faith. Other times, the door was held for me. Know a door can open and you can take it. Know a door can close and that’s okay. You get to make the choice how you feel once it happens. Whether you made the door move or someone else. Reflection Questions: Do I like standing in the doorway? Do I want to be on one side or the other? Is this the right door for me? Doors. 🚪 Use them, reflect on them, open and close them. You never know what might happen. Did I mention you should peek in doors you don’t know? You may just walk through. #leadershiplessons #careergrowth #ProudtobeIP

I am very proud to have had the opportunity during Steinel America’s 40th Anniversary celebration to award Steinel America’s STAMP Award for Blameless Problem Solving to Thurston Selby! In today's fast-paced business world, fostering a culture of blameless problem solving is paramount for innovation and growth. Blameless problem solving: 1️⃣ Promotes Innovation: Encouraging team members to speak up without fear of blame fosters creativity and innovative solutions. 2️⃣ Enhances Learning: When we focus on solving problems rather than assigning blame, we create opportunities for continuous learning and improvement. 3️⃣ Boosts Morale: A blame-free environment promotes trust, boosts morale, and encourages team members to take calculated risks. In my 30-year career, I have never met anyone who exemplifies Blameless Problem Solving better than Thurston. Whether it is Tech support troubleshooting or working on innovative new products, Thurston always creates a safe environment for positive collaboration. Thurston patiently listens to all parties and finds innovative win-win solutions. It is with great pleasure that I say Thank You Thurston for your contributions to Steinel America’s success in its first 40 years!    #SteinelAmerica #BlamelessProblemSolving #Innovation #WorkplaceCulture #LeadershipDevelopment
