Director of Organization Development @ Quick Quack Car Wash | Enhancing Team Member Engagement and Organizational Performance
To say this year has been challenging would be an understatement. Yet, through it all, my employer, Quick Quack Car Wash, and the incredible people there uplifted me. ????Their support—personally, professionally, and financially—has been beyond anything I could have imagined. I experienced yet another moment of incredible support and empowerment this past week while attending the Service Center Leader Summit, which was ?????????? ????????????????????????????. Here are a few highlights: ???????????? ??????????????????: Our leaders fulfilled a long-held dream by making every team member an equity owner. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our founders, Jason Johnson, Timothy Wright, Chris Vaterlaus, Travis Kimball, Greg Drennan, as well as Seidler Equity Partners and KKR for making this possible and enabling me to fulfill my purpose.?? ?????????????????????? ?????? ????????????: Guest speaker Bethany J. Adams, taught us techniques to create an environment where every team member feels seen, heard, and valued, preparing us all to do our best work. She inspired me and agreed to partner further to help weave these practices into our daily culture. Thank you, Bethany, I can’t wait to get started!! ?? ???????????????????????? ???? ????????????????: While we talked about strategies and objectives, our leaders also created a space where people could be their authentic selves, allowing me to recharge in a supportive environment. I left feeling renewed, appreciated, and inspired to keep moving forward, knowing that who I am is enough. ????♀? ???? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????????: I was reminded of the power of gratitude—how being thankful not only uplifts others but also enhances our own well-being. This experience left me introspective and profoundly grateful for the people in my life, more motivated than ever to be a better mother, sister, daughter, and friend. ?? Before joining Quick Quack, I never imagined “working at a car wash” would be on my list. Now, I can’t envision my life without it. This company is so much more than a car wash; it’s a place where people are challenged, supported, and truly appreciated as human beings, not just numbers. ?????????? ??????, Quick Quack Car Wash, ?????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ?????? ?????? ????????????! ??
