Coming home again...
A number of years ago, a friend gave me a book called Wherever You Go, There You Are and this week, I was reminded of this title when I had a chance to visit our Wilton office. After almost 20 years at Deloitte, I finally had a chance to see “where it all happens” and I was thrilled to finally meet many of the people whose names I have heard through the years.
One of the great pleasures of my job is visiting many offices across the country and meeting my colleagues. What I am constantly reminded of is our great culture, which brought the book title to mind. Because we share the same values, wherever I go, I feel “at home” in every office. In Wilton, this was certainly true.
When I am asked why I am still at Deloitte, my answer is always “the values” and I am sure that many of my colleagues feel the same way. At the end of the day, our shared values are the glue that holds us together. Whether you serve internal or external clients, there’s a sense of commitment, collaboration, and the collective goal of providing the best service possible.
So, wherever we go, there we are… and our values are ever present. Thank you to my Wilton colleagues for the warm welcome and for making me feel like I was coming home, once again.
