New YEAR New WORD with Maria Surma Manka and Claudia Revermann 

Happy New Year, friends! We’re kicking off the year with a very special episode! This week, Pamela and Tara are joined by not just one incredible guest, but two. Returning guest Claudia Revermann is back, and she’s brought along Maria Surma Manka, a senior internal communications business partner at Blattner Construction. Maria specializes in turning complex ideas into meaningful stories, and together, they’re here to share their Word of the Year with all of you.  Claudia, Maria, Pamela, and Tara take a moment to reflect on their past Words of the Year and discuss how revisiting these words throughout the year helps them stay focused and intentional with their goals. Tune in for an insightful conversation about the power of choosing a Word of the Year and how you can use this simple yet transformative practice to set your intentions for the year ahead!  Registration for our next Grounded Leadership cohort is now open!      Interested in becoming a sponsor for SHIFT?
