🌟 Success and Balance: The Key to Thriving 🌟 High achievers often excel under pressure, demonstrating an incredible tolerance for stress. But here’s the catch: many of us have a low tolerance for joy, rest, and fun. This is a pattern we’ve observed in recent Employee Success coaching conversations at Hoffmaster. While this drive can lead to impressive achievements, it often comes at the cost of exhaustion, burnout, and disconnection. We’re committed to breaking this cycle by fostering a culture that prioritizes recovery, meaningful rest, and authentic connection. By expanding our Window of Tolerance, we’re helping our team move beyond just performing well to truly thriving. Because success shouldn’t come at the expense of well-being. 💡

Last week, we had the privilege of attending the Night of Gratitude fundraiser for Community for Hope of Greater Oshkosh, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention in the Oshkosh area and beyond. Their mission is close to our hearts, as they not only work tirelessly to save lives but also strive to destigmatize mental health challenges. Earlier this year, they trained our managers and leaders in QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention—a critical step in fostering a safer, more supportive workplace and community. We are deeply inspired by their work and look forward to strengthening our partnership in the future. Together, we can create a culture that prioritizes mental health, reduces stigma, and ensures no one faces these challenges alone. If you're passionate about mental health and suicide prevention, we encourage you to learn more about Community for Hope and their impactful efforts. #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #CommunityForHope #Gratitude #Wellbeing
