I have transitioned from pitching a ball to a catcher to assisting in the resolution of a wide array of employee cases. To some, this transition may seem totally unrelated and independent of one another. In my eyes, these two worlds join forces in ways you may never have thought possible. This transition was an opportunity for me to apply everything baseball has taught me into the corporate world. The …

Set Yourself Up to Hit Your Goals and Make 2019 Your Best Year Yet

Set Yourself Up to Hit Your Goals and Make 2019 Your Best Year Yet

Webster would define a goal as “the object of a person’s ambition or effort; an aim or a desired result.” Prevailing wisdom would lend you that the best way to achieve our goals would be to set specific, measurable and actionable goals. For years, I approached my goals the same way. I’ve set goals for starting, for stopping; for being quicker; for slowing down; for earning more; for spending less; for health, fitness, productivity, and for simply doing more with less. I approached them all the same. I’ve succeeded a few, and failed at many. Eventually I realized that my …

New Year New Career

With 2018 disappearing in the rear view, we find ourselves with a great opportunity to make 2019 all the things that 2018 wasn’t. Everyone has different goals they are reaching for during the year, but at the end of 2018 I found myself in a boat I think a lot of people have been in before.

TMX Finance® Family of Companies Safety Program

TMX Finance® Family of Companies Safety Program

I’ve been with the Company for 4 ½ years now. I’ve had various roles in that time, but the one constant area of responsibility I’ve maintained throughout my tenure has been oversight of workers’ compensation and other lines of insurance held by the Company. The first reactions most people have when discussing insurance are that the subject is dry and boring. And, yes, I admit, there are elements of working with insurance claims that are indeed dry and boring. The prospect of keeping up multiple spreadsheets containing an endless stream of formulas, percentages, and other numbers-based data can drive a …
