I truly believe that I am one of the luckiest people at CG because I get to work with Meghan every day. She is always open to helping me out with questions as I learn her book, listen to my ideas, and even just listen whenever, no matter what it is. Doesn't matter how many times I might ask the same dumb question over and over again, she answers quickly and with understanding as I'm still learning. Not only is she understanding and nurturing within her role as my manager at CG, but she also applies that to my personal life as well. I am so honored to be chosen for her team, and can't wait to see where the years to come take us. Thank you for being awesome, Meghan!

Daily Ashton gets messages from me and she is so patient and kind, even if I have asked the same question in the past. I have so much respect and admiration for her work ethic, attitude, and helpfulness each and every day as I learn her book. Having had to take some personal time off, she stepped right into helping back me up on my work so that when I came back, it was easy to breathe and not feel overwhelmed - even tho I know that she is extremely busy. Ashton is so knowledgeable in every area of her work, and I am so thankful that I get to learn from her each and every day. I am excited to learn and work alongside her going forward, and hope we get to do this for a long time. Thank you so much Ashton for everything!

Macy also recently stepped into helping with a Project that was a Rush for a New Account. Just coming back off a week of PTO, I found myself in a dilemma of not being able to get this project done and ready. The Trainees all stepped up and in one day knocked out all of the accounts that were ready to be entered. They put everything aside, divided up the accounts and took on this project with no qualms. The Trainees will all be a great asset to CG!!!

Grace recently stepped up with a large Project and diligently worked side by side with me until we were finshed. This took days of our time to enter and finding items on a spreadsheet that did not match the policies that we were entering. A Lot of going back and forth and lots of hours. We just got that all enterred a week or so ago, when the renewals starting coming in this week with new limts. This account was a "Rush job" to get entered. She and her Training partners took there time, updated all we had available and I appreciate their time!! The Trainees will all be a great asset to CG!!!

Kim provides clear resources and solutions. In my 21 years as an insurance agent, I have never had such a knowledgeable and resourceful manager. She is the epitome of leadership. Kim isn't afraid to jump in and cover books of business when her team is out on maternity leave, medical leave, or vacation. Kim goes above and beyond in ensuring we are doing out best work through training and one on one guidance. Kim reminds us to take time for self care and learning. She is truly a pleasure to work with. Kim needs a well deserved pampering for all she does for each of her team members. We all feel very fortunate to have her as out fearless leader.

When I think of a person who has made a huge impact on me since coming to CG in May, I automatically think of Ashley. I am excited to work someone who thirsts for efficiency and is continuously learning. Ashley is humble, kind and patient. Teaching adults is her calling. Ashley is quick to offer training and is thorough in her monthly team trainings. She make herself available to assist the team when we are backlogged and need assistance in processing. She is positive and upbeat. Her hilarious personality is the cherry on top. She is never satisfied with mediocre. There are many nights and weekends I see her green bubble still pounding away. As someone who has had 6 years of Applied EPIC experience, Ashley can still show me new things. I love that she is accessible and responsive despite having a heavy workload. I aspire to be as positive as she is with the "CAN DO" attitude.

Shelby has been so welcoming to me since starting in April that she makes it easy to come to her with questions. Whether I have a question on an account of mine, or for someone I am being a back up on, she not only is quick to answer, but she goes out of her way to reach out to me on her own time to see if I need anything. She takes the time to call me if she feels that it would be easier to help me, and she is very knowledgeable. She never makes me feel like a burden for reaching out, and makes work so much fun. Thank you Shelby and keep up the great work!

A big thank you to Ashley for not only training Grace with—well—grace on all things Epic, but also for going above and beyond her role. She took the time to send me thoughtful feedback on Grace’s progress, what to expect moving forward, and how she plans to support not just Grace, but the entire Risk Placement team in leveling up our Epic platform knowledge.

Training may be part of Ashley’s job, but it’s clear she brings true passion to the work. Her dedication to helping others succeed, even on a busy day, doesn’t go unnoticed. We’re lucky to have her!

In most sales environments, it’s rare for a peer to introduce you to an active prospect they’re working with, but Max didn’t hesitate. After I mentioned I’m targeting a specific niche, he immediately saw the connection and made the introduction, knowing his prospect had deep expertise in that space. That conversation not only provided valuable insights, but also led to introductions to two of the top three players in the field. None of that would have happened without Max’s support.

I want to take a moment to recognize and thank Jennifer for her outstanding support during the IT setup of our new office in San Antonio. Despite our challenges of managing this project entirely remotely, Jennifer’s willingness to step up and her positive attitude played a crucial role in making the implementation a success.

Ashton has been amazing to work with. While my manager has been out on a much needed vacation, Ashton has been taking all of my questions like a champ. She is always so happy to help and so knowledgeable. She is more than willing to call me when something is not making sense and share her screen so I know exactly what I am doing and not just guessing at it. Such a valuable asset and I am excited to be working side by side with her in the future. Knowing how kind, caring, and helpful she is puts me at ease...especially while being so new and still learning new things every day. Thanks Ashton!

MINNESOTA PAID FAMILY & MEDICAL LEAVE We also reviewed Minnesota Paid Family & Medical Leave at a high level—including the impacts it’s already having on our clients, the ways our Employee Benefits team is advising through the change, and where we are in designing our own program at CG to align with these new requirements. For anyone who hasn’t yet heard of the updated Paid Leave law, you can learn more on the official Minnesota state portal: Minnesota Paid Leave – MN DEED.
