Hi friends, Emilia here! 👋🏼
In terms of “best first days ever,” I think mine takes the cake: last July, I flew to Austin, TX to meet the Return on Ideas team at their annual summer retreat.
I was equal parts anxious and pumped. After 7 & 1/2 years of working for The Mouse (you know the one), this marked the beginning of a VERY different journey. Thankfully, nerves subsided quickly as the team welcomed me with open arms. They were everything I hoped for: authentic, goofy, brilliant, nerdy, hilarious, and SO incredibly welcoming.
Today, the team is gathering in-person for our annual winter retreat, and this week marks my 6 months with Return on Ideas. But my sentimental, sappy self is most excited that I now get to be a part of the goofy, nerdy crew that now gets to welcome our new team members with open arms.
This retreat will be focused on growth, mission alignment, dreaming big (for our clients and ourselves), and connection. Happy to be here and pumped to share the fun over the next few days. 🧡
