What’s Your Word for 2018?

Recently, a mastermind partner shared a yearly practice where she selects a word for the year. She uses this word as context for what she creates.

As soon as she shared her practice, a scene from one of my favorite movies came to mind, It’s a scene with Morgan Freeman’s character, Red, when he used, in his deeply booming voice, the word: magnanimous.

Curious as to word’s definition, I looked it up. It means very generous or forgiving.

I guess it makes sense that this word would immediately come to mind since we’re boldly stepping into a new and exciting space, quite literally.

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you may have missed last week’s announcement that Excellerate Associates will be relocating in March 2018 to their new location in Livonia, Michigan.

The new office space increases the office footprint and supports the company’s growth strategy by offering expanded services that support small businesses. The larger space allows for additional Profitability Labs (our signature small business mentoring program – both online and onsite) and our leadership and organizational development programs. Plans also include a cowork and conference space as well as room for additional tenants.

We will continue to operate out of the Canton, Michigan location until renovations of the new building are complete.

In taking bigger leaps this year, it seems fitting that a word like magnanimous would come to mind.
