Featured Residential Real Estate #SoldBySkip 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW blends Old World New Mexico character with contemporary comfort across a fully gated acre ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A North Valley offering defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and a sense of discovery is now on the market. 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW, a pueblo-style estate on a fully gated one-acre parcel, is listed at $1,849,000, featuring 5 bedrooms and bathrooms, and 5,963 square feet of living space. Originally built in 1973 and expanded over time, the residence recently completed a 2025 renovation with design by Eric Spurlock, a local custom home designer. The renovation reinforces the home’s New Mexico architectural language—soft curves, earthen textures, and intimate outdoor spaces—while aligning the property with modern expectations for comfort and performance, including refrigerated air and a TPO roof and sauna. Distinctive to the home is its layered, “discover-as-you-go” layout: hidden rooms and secret passageways are integrated throughout, creating spaces that reveal themselves over time. An attached casita adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or studio space. The gated grounds also include a 4-car garage and RV parking. The sellers, P. Shaun Barbour (author and PhD) and Shayne Ladak, MD, relocated to Albuquerque in 2022, bringing a well-traveled perspective that helped shape the home’s most recent updates. “This property is the North Valley at its most compelling—private, architectural, and truly one-of-one,” said Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. “From the gated acre to the casita to the hidden spaces, it offers character you don’t see every day, backed by meaningful improvements for how people live now.” The listing is offered by Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. Showings are available by appointment. Featured Architects & Engineering INTERA Inc.

Nonprofit American Heart Association–New Mexico April Kovari and Lanie Norton bring personal stories and professional strength to heart health movement aimed at saving women’s lives ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 14, 2025 — April Kovari, president and state manager of Fidelity National Title of New Mexico, and Lanie Norton, assistant controller at JB Henderson Construction Co. Inc., have been tapped to lead the 2026 New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon. The announcement comes as part of the American Heart Association’s ongoing efforts to empower women to take charge of their heart health through its Go Red for Women® movement. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in New Mexico and across the United States. Go Red for Women is dedicated to helping women lead longer, healthier lives by addressing critical gaps in research, education and care. The Go Red movement, now in its 22nd year, will be celebrated locally with a luncheon on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town. The event brings together hundreds of community leaders, survivors, and advocates to raise awareness and funds for heart disease and stroke prevention. “As women, our days are packed and life rarely slows down — but our health deserves attention now, not later,” said Kovari. “Go Red for Women is a call to action: Red Means Go — for our hearts, our futures and every woman who matters to us.” Kovari has nearly four decades of experience in the title insurance industry, building teams and empowering professionals across the Southwest. She is a proud mother and grandmother, and her personal connection to heart disease includes a congenital heart defect and the loss of her mother to congestive heart failure. “I’ve known far too many people struck by tragedy due to heart disease,” she said. “Supporting Go Red is my way of giving back and elevating women’s health in our community.” Norton, who has been with JB Henderson Construction for 20 years, brings a deeply personal perspective to her role. Her mother, Lana Arbogast, suffered five strokes in one week at age 48 and survived a massive heart attack 10 years later. The mom had always lived a healthy lifestyle but experienced hereditary high blood pressure and high cholesterol. “After she had her stokes, that changed everything for us,” Norton said, speaking for herself and her brothers and their families. “We all started eating healthier, exercising more and doing more to manage stress.” Norton also experienced a life-threatening medical emergency in 2019 that required emergency surgery and multiple units of blood. “Doctors told me my strong, healthy heart helped me survive,” she said. “If I had been out of shape, a smoker or a heavy drinker, the outcome would have been much different.” Norton’s company sponsors a table at the luncheon each year and has fielded a team for the Heart Walk for the past two years. “There is one source of support women can count on — each other,” said Sherri Wells, executive director of the American Heart Association–New Mexico. “April and Lanie’s unwavering dedication to the Go Red for Women movement is creating a ripple of change in our community.” Go Red for Women is nationally sponsored by CVS Health. The New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon is locally sponsored by Delta Dental of New Mexico.

The company’s core offerings, including managed private cloud, Hyve virtual private cloud, disaster recovery-as-a-service, security and compliance services, continue to attract enterprises that require highly available, scalable, and customized infrastructure. Hyve’s customers span industries such as healthcare, finance, ecommerce, logistics, and the public sector, with organizations like TJ Maxx and Soutron Global turning to Hyve for mission-critical workloads that demand exceptional uptime, performance, and hands-on support. Winning the Austin Business Award reflects the company’s ongoing investment in advancing next-generation managed cloud hosting capabilities, and highlights Hyve’s commitment to contributing to and growing within the wider Austin technology ecosystem. “We're thrilled to receive this award, which comes at such a pivotal moment in Hyve’s U.S. journey,” says Hyve Managed Hosting’s Operations and Marketing Director, Charlotte Webb. “This recognition reflects our commitment to growth, innovation, and delivering world-class managed hosting on a truly global scale.

Featured Education Woodward Academy As the demands of higher education and the workforce continue to evolve, Woodward Academy is committed to preparing students with the skills needed to lead, adapt, and solve complex problems. Through intentional real-world learning experiences, service partnerships, and cocurricular opportunities, the Academy develops students who think critically, collaborate effectively, and approach challenges with confidence. Central to this approach is Woodward’s Service Learning program, which connects students with local community partners such as the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Horizons Atlanta, and other nonprofit organizations. Students engage in meaningful, sustained projects that require them to assess needs, analyze challenges, and design thoughtful solutions. These experiences foster ethical decision-making, accountability, and leadership while reinforcing the connection between academic learning and real-world impact. Beyond service learning, Woodward students participate in a wide range of “Beyond the Classroom” experiences that build problem-solving and leadership skills in collaborative, team-based environments. Programs such as robotics, debate, and student media require students to think strategically, communicate clearly, and adapt quickly—skills that closely mirror expectations in professional and workplace settings. These opportunities challenge students to apply knowledge, manage responsibilities, and contribute to shared goals. These experiences are grounded in Woodward Academy’s broader strategic focus on preparing students for college, career, and life. The Academy emphasizes purposeful learning, innovative thinking, and the practical application of knowledge across disciplines. Students are encouraged not only to master content, but to ask meaningful questions, evaluate information critically, and take initiative in solving problems. For the business community, Woodward’s approach helps strengthen the future workforce by developing graduates who are prepared to lead, collaborate, and navigate complexity. Students enter college and careers with a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership—skills that are increasingly essential across industries. By intentionally bridging education with real-world experience, Woodward Academy continues to invest in the development of thoughtful leaders who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to organizations, communities, and society at large. Professional Services The Workplace Coach If you’re like most leaders and professionals I coach, this year probably hasn’t unfolded quite the way you imagined. It may not even have been the year you would have willingly signed up for. And yet, here we are—at the close of this chapter, already looking toward the next, and the next after that. So the real question becomes: how do we, as this year winds down, gather the inner and outer resources we need to face what’s coming? How do we meet the next set of challenges not just with grit and endurance, but with the energy, creativity, and sense of purpose that make the work meaningful in the first place? There is no single road map for resilience that fits every situation or every season of life. But there are practices that reliably help you move in a healthier, more intentional direction. I think of them as signposts—practical reminders you can use for yourself and also offer to your team, colleagues, friends, and family. After all, our paths are interconnected, and the way we support others has a direct impact on our own ability to thrive. Here are a few of those signposts: 1. Curate your inner circle. You don’t need a huge network to be resilient. What you do need is a small circle of trusted people who “get” you and are willing to offer honest and kind feedback. Those are the people who will tell you the truth, remind you of your strengths, and walk with you when things feel uncertain. That kind of support is pure gold. 2. Get more comfortable with uncertainty. Resilience doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means being willing to move forward even when you don’t. Often, the most courageous thing you can do is simply identify the next right step and take it. Progress in uncertain times is usually step-by-step, not all-at-once. 3. Honor your humanity. You are not a machine—you’re a human being. Rest, recovery, sleep, movement, and nutrition aren’t indulgences; they’re requirements. When you protect your energy and well-being, you expand your capacity to lead, to think clearly, and to show up as the best version of yourself. Recovery doesn’t compete with resilience; it builds it. 4. Anchor yourself in purpose. When you stay connected to your “why,” it becomes easier to ride out the difficult days. Purpose gives context to the stress and sacrifice. It reminds you that the emails, meetings, and tough conversations are part of something bigger—a contribution that matters to you and to the people you serve. 5. Learn from setbacks instead of bracing against them. Setbacks are not a sign that you’re failing; they’re evidence that you’re in the arena. They will happen. The key is to pause, reflect, and ask: What is this here to teach me? When you mine your challenges for insight, you grow stronger, wiser, and more agile going forward. Of course, all of this is easier said than done. But that’s true of most things that genuinely move us forward. Resilience is less about being “tough” and more about practicing small, intentional behaviors that help you reset, realign, and re-engage—day after day. At The Workplace Coach, we partner with leaders and organizations to build this kind of sustainable resilience—through executive coaching, leader-as-coach development, and practical tools that help people navigate real-world pressure with clarity and confidence. As you close out this year, I invite you to pause, take stock of how far you’ve already come, and choose one or two signposts to lean into more fully. Here’s to a healthy, purposeful, and resilient new year—for you and for the people you lead.

Featured Residential Real Estate #SoldBySkip 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW blends Old World New Mexico character with contemporary comfort across a fully gated acre ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A North Valley offering defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and a sense of discovery is now on the market. 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW, a pueblo-style estate on a fully gated one-acre parcel, is listed at $1,849,000, featuring 5 bedrooms and bathrooms, and 5,963 square feet of living space. Originally built in 1973 and expanded over time, the residence recently completed a 2025 renovation with design by Eric Spurlock, a local custom home designer. The renovation reinforces the home’s New Mexico architectural language—soft curves, earthen textures, and intimate outdoor spaces—while aligning the property with modern expectations for comfort and performance, including refrigerated air and a TPO roof and sauna. Distinctive to the home is its layered, “discover-as-you-go” layout: hidden rooms and secret passageways are integrated throughout, creating spaces that reveal themselves over time. An attached casita adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or studio space. The gated grounds also include a 4-car garage and RV parking. The sellers, P. Shaun Barbour (author and PhD) and Shayne Ladak, MD, relocated to Albuquerque in 2022, bringing a well-traveled perspective that helped shape the home’s most recent updates. “This property is the North Valley at its most compelling—private, architectural, and truly one-of-one,” said Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. “From the gated acre to the casita to the hidden spaces, it offers character you don’t see every day, backed by meaningful improvements for how people live now.” The listing is offered by Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. Showings are available by appointment. Featured Architects & Engineering INTERA Inc.

Nonprofit American Heart Association–New Mexico April Kovari and Lanie Norton bring personal stories and professional strength to heart health movement aimed at saving women’s lives ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 14, 2025 — April Kovari, president and state manager of Fidelity National Title of New Mexico, and Lanie Norton, assistant controller at JB Henderson Construction Co. Inc., have been tapped to lead the 2026 New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon. The announcement comes as part of the American Heart Association’s ongoing efforts to empower women to take charge of their heart health through its Go Red for Women® movement. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in New Mexico and across the United States. Go Red for Women is dedicated to helping women lead longer, healthier lives by addressing critical gaps in research, education and care. The Go Red movement, now in its 22nd year, will be celebrated locally with a luncheon on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town. The event brings together hundreds of community leaders, survivors, and advocates to raise awareness and funds for heart disease and stroke prevention. “As women, our days are packed and life rarely slows down — but our health deserves attention now, not later,” said Kovari. “Go Red for Women is a call to action: Red Means Go — for our hearts, our futures and every woman who matters to us.” Kovari has nearly four decades of experience in the title insurance industry, building teams and empowering professionals across the Southwest. She is a proud mother and grandmother, and her personal connection to heart disease includes a congenital heart defect and the loss of her mother to congestive heart failure. “I’ve known far too many people struck by tragedy due to heart disease,” she said. “Supporting Go Red is my way of giving back and elevating women’s health in our community.” Norton, who has been with JB Henderson Construction for 20 years, brings a deeply personal perspective to her role. Her mother, Lana Arbogast, suffered five strokes in one week at age 48 and survived a massive heart attack 10 years later. The mom had always lived a healthy lifestyle but experienced hereditary high blood pressure and high cholesterol. “After she had her stokes, that changed everything for us,” Norton said, speaking for herself and her brothers and their families. “We all started eating healthier, exercising more and doing more to manage stress.” Norton also experienced a life-threatening medical emergency in 2019 that required emergency surgery and multiple units of blood. “Doctors told me my strong, healthy heart helped me survive,” she said. “If I had been out of shape, a smoker or a heavy drinker, the outcome would have been much different.” Norton’s company sponsors a table at the luncheon each year and has fielded a team for the Heart Walk for the past two years. “There is one source of support women can count on — each other,” said Sherri Wells, executive director of the American Heart Association–New Mexico. “April and Lanie’s unwavering dedication to the Go Red for Women movement is creating a ripple of change in our community.” Go Red for Women is nationally sponsored by CVS Health. The New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon is locally sponsored by Delta Dental of New Mexico.

This recognition by one of the region’s most prestigious awards highlights Hyve’s growing influence within Austin’s thriving technology community and the company’s accelerating momentum across the U.S. market. As Austin has become a strategic hub for engineering excellence, customer collaboration and solution development in recent years, it was a natural choice of location for the Hyve Managed Hosting headquarters, supporting both regional success and global operations. Hyve’s expansion in Austin comes at a time of significant growth for the company. Earlier this fall, Hyve announced a 35% year-over-year increase in its U.S. customer base, driven by rising demand for compliant, flexible, and bespoke cloud hosting solutions. The company’s core offerings, including managed private cloud, Hyve virtual private cloud, disaster recovery-as-a-service, security and compliance services, continue to attract enterprises that require highly available, scalable, and customized infrastructure. Hyve’s customers span industries such as healthcare, finance, ecommerce, logistics, and the public sector, with organizations like TJ Maxx and Soutron Global turning to Hyve for mission-critical workloads that demand exceptional uptime, performance, and hands-on support. Winning the Austin Business Award reflects the company’s ongoing investment in advancing next-generation managed cloud hosting capabilities, and highlights Hyve’s commitment to contributing to and growing within the wider Austin technology ecosystem. “We're thrilled to receive this award, which comes at such a pivotal moment in Hyve’s U.S. journey,” says Hyve Managed Hosting’s Operations and Marketing Director, Charlotte Webb. “This recognition reflects our commitment to growth, innovation, and delivering world-class managed hosting on a truly global scale. We are proud of our Austin hub and the growing team and partnerships that continue to strengthen our foothold in North America.

Featured Education Woodward Academy As the demands of higher education and the workforce continue to evolve, Woodward Academy is committed to preparing students with the skills needed to lead, adapt, and solve complex problems. Through intentional real-world learning experiences, service partnerships, and cocurricular opportunities, the Academy develops students who think critically, collaborate effectively, and approach challenges with confidence. Central to this approach is Woodward’s Service Learning program, which connects students with local community partners such as the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Horizons Atlanta, and other nonprofit organizations. Students engage in meaningful, sustained projects that require them to assess needs, analyze challenges, and design thoughtful solutions. These experiences foster ethical decision-making, accountability, and leadership while reinforcing the connection between academic learning and real-world impact. Beyond service learning, Woodward students participate in a wide range of “Beyond the Classroom” experiences that build problem-solving and leadership skills in collaborative, team-based environments. Programs such as robotics, debate, and student media require students to think strategically, communicate clearly, and adapt quickly—skills that closely mirror expectations in professional and workplace settings. These opportunities challenge students to apply knowledge, manage responsibilities, and contribute to shared goals. These experiences are grounded in Woodward Academy’s broader strategic focus on preparing students for college, career, and life. The Academy emphasizes purposeful learning, innovative thinking, and the practical application of knowledge across disciplines. Students are encouraged not only to master content, but to ask meaningful questions, evaluate information critically, and take initiative in solving problems. For the business community, Woodward’s approach helps strengthen the future workforce by developing graduates who are prepared to lead, collaborate, and navigate complexity. Students enter college and careers with a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership—skills that are increasingly essential across industries. By intentionally bridging education with real-world experience, Woodward Academy continues to invest in the development of thoughtful leaders who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to organizations, communities, and society at large. Professional Services The Workplace Coach If you’re like most leaders and professionals I coach, this year probably hasn’t unfolded quite the way you imagined. It may not even have been the year you would have willingly signed up for. And yet, here we are—at the close of this chapter, already looking toward the next, and the next after that. So the real question becomes: how do we, as this year winds down, gather the inner and outer resources we need to face what’s coming? How do we meet the next set of challenges not just with grit and endurance, but with the energy, creativity, and sense of purpose that make the work meaningful in the first place? There is no single road map for resilience that fits every situation or every season of life. But there are practices that reliably help you move in a healthier, more intentional direction. I think of them as signposts—practical reminders you can use for yourself and also offer to your team, colleagues, friends, and family. After all, our paths are interconnected, and the way we support others has a direct impact on our own ability to thrive. Here are a few of those signposts: 1. Curate your inner circle. You don’t need a huge network to be resilient. What you do need is a small circle of trusted people who “get” you and are willing to offer honest and kind feedback. Those are the people who will tell you the truth, remind you of your strengths, and walk with you when things feel uncertain. That kind of support is pure gold. 2. Get more comfortable with uncertainty. Resilience doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means being willing to move forward even when you don’t. Often, the most courageous thing you can do is simply identify the next right step and take it. Progress in uncertain times is usually step-by-step, not all-at-once. 3. Honor your humanity. You are not a machine—you’re a human being. Rest, recovery, sleep, movement, and nutrition aren’t indulgences; they’re requirements. When you protect your energy and well-being, you expand your capacity to lead, to think clearly, and to show up as the best version of yourself. Recovery doesn’t compete with resilience; it builds it. 4. Anchor yourself in purpose. When you stay connected to your “why,” it becomes easier to ride out the difficult days. Purpose gives context to the stress and sacrifice. It reminds you that the emails, meetings, and tough conversations are part of something bigger—a contribution that matters to you and to the people you serve. 5. Learn from setbacks instead of bracing against them. Setbacks are not a sign that you’re failing; they’re evidence that you’re in the arena. They will happen. The key is to pause, reflect, and ask: What is this here to teach me? When you mine your challenges for insight, you grow stronger, wiser, and more agile going forward. Of course, all of this is easier said than done. But that’s true of most things that genuinely move us forward. Resilience is less about being “tough” and more about practicing small, intentional behaviors that help you reset, realign, and re-engage—day after day. At The Workplace Coach, we partner with leaders and organizations to build this kind of sustainable resilience—through executive coaching, leader-as-coach development, and practical tools that help people navigate real-world pressure with clarity and confidence. As you close out this year, I invite you to pause, take stock of how far you’ve already come, and choose one or two signposts to lean into more fully. Here’s to a healthy, purposeful, and resilient new year—for you and for the people you lead.

Featured Residential Real Estate #SoldBySkip 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW blends Old World New Mexico character with contemporary comfort across a fully gated acre ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A North Valley offering defined by craftsmanship, privacy, and a sense of discovery is now on the market. 4106 Rio Grande Blvd NW, a pueblo-style estate on a fully gated one-acre parcel, is listed at $1,849,000, featuring 5 bedrooms and bathrooms, and 5,963 square feet of living space. Originally built in 1973 and expanded over time, the residence recently completed a 2025 renovation with design by Eric Spurlock, a local custom home designer. The renovation reinforces the home’s New Mexico architectural language—soft curves, earthen textures, and intimate outdoor spaces—while aligning the property with modern expectations for comfort and performance, including refrigerated air and a TPO roof and sauna. Distinctive to the home is its layered, “discover-as-you-go” layout: hidden rooms and secret passageways are integrated throughout, creating spaces that reveal themselves over time. An attached casita adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or studio space. The gated grounds also include a 4-car garage and RV parking. The sellers, P. Shaun Barbour (author and PhD) and Shayne Ladak, MD, relocated to Albuquerque in 2022, bringing a well-traveled perspective that helped shape the home’s most recent updates. “This property is the North Valley at its most compelling—private, architectural, and truly one-of-one,” said Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. “From the gated acre to the casita to the hidden spaces, it offers character you don’t see every day, backed by meaningful improvements for how people live now.” The listing is offered by Skip Adams, Qualifying Broker, #SoldBySkip. Showings are available by appointment. Featured Architects & Engineering INTERA Inc.

Nonprofit American Heart Association–New Mexico April Kovari and Lanie Norton bring personal stories and professional strength to heart health movement aimed at saving women’s lives ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 14, 2025 — April Kovari, president and state manager of Fidelity National Title of New Mexico, and Lanie Norton, assistant controller at JB Henderson Construction Co. Inc., have been tapped to lead the 2026 New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon. The announcement comes as part of the American Heart Association’s ongoing efforts to empower women to take charge of their heart health through its Go Red for Women® movement. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in New Mexico and across the United States. Go Red for Women is dedicated to helping women lead longer, healthier lives by addressing critical gaps in research, education and care. The Go Red movement, now in its 22nd year, will be celebrated locally with a luncheon on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town. The event brings together hundreds of community leaders, survivors, and advocates to raise awareness and funds for heart disease and stroke prevention. “As women, our days are packed and life rarely slows down — but our health deserves attention now, not later,” said Kovari. “Go Red for Women is a call to action: Red Means Go — for our hearts, our futures and every woman who matters to us.” Kovari has nearly four decades of experience in the title insurance industry, building teams and empowering professionals across the Southwest. She is a proud mother and grandmother, and her personal connection to heart disease includes a congenital heart defect and the loss of her mother to congestive heart failure. “I’ve known far too many people struck by tragedy due to heart disease,” she said. “Supporting Go Red is my way of giving back and elevating women’s health in our community.” Norton, who has been with JB Henderson Construction for 20 years, brings a deeply personal perspective to her role. Her mother, Lana Arbogast, suffered five strokes in one week at age 48 and survived a massive heart attack 10 years later. The mom had always lived a healthy lifestyle but experienced hereditary high blood pressure and high cholesterol. “After she had her stokes, that changed everything for us,” Norton said, speaking for herself and her brothers and their families. “We all started eating healthier, exercising more and doing more to manage stress.” Norton also experienced a life-threatening medical emergency in 2019 that required emergency surgery and multiple units of blood. “Doctors told me my strong, healthy heart helped me survive,” she said. “If I had been out of shape, a smoker or a heavy drinker, the outcome would have been much different.” Norton’s company sponsors a table at the luncheon each year and has fielded a team for the Heart Walk for the past two years. “There is one source of support women can count on — each other,” said Sherri Wells, executive director of the American Heart Association–New Mexico. “April and Lanie’s unwavering dedication to the Go Red for Women movement is creating a ripple of change in our community.” Go Red for Women is nationally sponsored by CVS Health. The New Mexico Go Red for Women Luncheon is locally sponsored by Delta Dental of New Mexico.

As Austin has become a strategic hub for engineering excellence, customer collaboration and solution development in recent years, it was a natural choice of location for the Hyve Managed Hosting headquarters, supporting both regional success and global operations. Hyve’s expansion in Austin comes at a time of significant growth for the company.

The company’s core offerings, including managed private cloud, Hyve virtual private cloud, disaster recovery-as-a-service, security and compliance services, continue to attract enterprises that require highly available, scalable, and customized infrastructure. Hyve’s customers span industries such as healthcare, finance, ecommerce, logistics, and the public sector, with organizations like TJ Maxx and Soutron Global turning to Hyve for mission-critical workloads that demand exceptional uptime, performance, and hands-on support. Winning the Austin Business Award reflects the company’s ongoing investment in advancing next-generation managed cloud hosting capabilities, and highlights Hyve’s commitment to contributing to and growing within the wider Austin technology ecosystem. “We're thrilled to receive this award, which comes at such a pivotal moment in Hyve’s U.S. journey,” says Hyve Managed Hosting’s Operations and Marketing Director, Charlotte Webb. “This recognition reflects our commitment to growth, innovation, and delivering world-class managed hosting on a truly global scale.

Featured Education Woodward Academy As the demands of higher education and the workforce continue to evolve, Woodward Academy is committed to preparing students with the skills needed to lead, adapt, and solve complex problems. Through intentional real-world learning experiences, service partnerships, and cocurricular opportunities, the Academy develops students who think critically, collaborate effectively, and approach challenges with confidence. Central to this approach is Woodward’s Service Learning program, which connects students with local community partners such as the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Horizons Atlanta, and other nonprofit organizations. Students engage in meaningful, sustained projects that require them to assess needs, analyze challenges, and design thoughtful solutions. These experiences foster ethical decision-making, accountability, and leadership while reinforcing the connection between academic learning and real-world impact. Beyond service learning, Woodward students participate in a wide range of “Beyond the Classroom” experiences that build problem-solving and leadership skills in collaborative, team-based environments. Programs such as robotics, debate, and student media require students to think strategically, communicate clearly, and adapt quickly—skills that closely mirror expectations in professional and workplace settings. These opportunities challenge students to apply knowledge, manage responsibilities, and contribute to shared goals. These experiences are grounded in Woodward Academy’s broader strategic focus on preparing students for college, career, and life. The Academy emphasizes purposeful learning, innovative thinking, and the practical application of knowledge across disciplines. Students are encouraged not only to master content, but to ask meaningful questions, evaluate information critically, and take initiative in solving problems. For the business community, Woodward’s approach helps strengthen the future workforce by developing graduates who are prepared to lead, collaborate, and navigate complexity. Students enter college and careers with a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership—skills that are increasingly essential across industries. By intentionally bridging education with real-world experience, Woodward Academy continues to invest in the development of thoughtful leaders who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to organizations, communities, and society at large. Professional Services The Workplace Coach If you’re like most leaders and professionals I coach, this year probably hasn’t unfolded quite the way you imagined. It may not even have been the year you would have willingly signed up for. And yet, here we are—at the close of this chapter, already looking toward the next, and the next after that. So the real question becomes: how do we, as this year winds down, gather the inner and outer resources we need to face what’s coming? How do we meet the next set of challenges not just with grit and endurance, but with the energy, creativity, and sense of purpose that make the work meaningful in the first place? There is no single road map for resilience that fits every situation or every season of life. But there are practices that reliably help you move in a healthier, more intentional direction. I think of them as signposts—practical reminders you can use for yourself and also offer to your team, colleagues, friends, and family. After all, our paths are interconnected, and the way we support others has a direct impact on our own ability to thrive. Here are a few of those signposts: 1. Curate your inner circle. You don’t need a huge network to be resilient. What you do need is a small circle of trusted people who “get” you and are willing to offer honest and kind feedback. Those are the people who will tell you the truth, remind you of your strengths, and walk with you when things feel uncertain. That kind of support is pure gold. 2. Get more comfortable with uncertainty. Resilience doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means being willing to move forward even when you don’t. Often, the most courageous thing you can do is simply identify the next right step and take it. Progress in uncertain times is usually step-by-step, not all-at-once. 3. Honor your humanity. You are not a machine—you’re a human being. Rest, recovery, sleep, movement, and nutrition aren’t indulgences; they’re requirements. When you protect your energy and well-being, you expand your capacity to lead, to think clearly, and to show up as the best version of yourself. Recovery doesn’t compete with resilience; it builds it. 4. Anchor yourself in purpose. When you stay connected to your “why,” it becomes easier to ride out the difficult days. Purpose gives context to the stress and sacrifice. It reminds you that the emails, meetings, and tough conversations are part of something bigger—a contribution that matters to you and to the people you serve. 5. Learn from setbacks instead of bracing against them. Setbacks are not a sign that you’re failing; they’re evidence that you’re in the arena. They will happen. The key is to pause, reflect, and ask: What is this here to teach me? When you mine your challenges for insight, you grow stronger, wiser, and more agile going forward. Of course, all of this is easier said than done. But that’s true of most things that genuinely move us forward. Resilience is less about being “tough” and more about practicing small, intentional behaviors that help you reset, realign, and re-engage—day after day. At The Workplace Coach, we partner with leaders and organizations to build this kind of sustainable resilience—through executive coaching, leader-as-coach development, and practical tools that help people navigate real-world pressure with clarity and confidence. As you close out this year, I invite you to pause, take stock of how far you’ve already come, and choose one or two signposts to lean into more fully. Here’s to a healthy, purposeful, and resilient new year—for you and for the people you lead.
