Celebrating 10 YEARS WORDS OF Wisdom

As we charge head-on into a New Year we take a look back at words of wisdom shared by our community leaders in Movers & Shakers that we have published over the years.

“Do something – even if it’s wrong. I had a boss that used to say that a lot. You can’t sit around waiting for life to happen. You won’t always be right, but you learn from the experience and move on.”

“Enjoy the struggle because if you learn to, everything else is cake!”

– Dan Brady, Owner, Dan Brady Painting & Wood Restoration “Just do it. It’s so cliché… but Nike got it right. It applies to everything from making your bed in the morning to finish an Ironman triathlon. Don’t overthink it.”

– Marc Schollet, Anchor TV 7&4

“The strength of a tree lies in its ability to bend.”

– Juliette Schultz, Executive Director Women’s Resource Center

“People in the community that give from their heart and soul make a strong and vibrant place to live.”

– Trevor Tkach, President Traverse City Tourism “I love the people that are the doers in this world. My dad’s favorite saying was, ‘When all is said and done, there is lot more said than done.’”

– Ray Minervini, President The Minervini Group, Developer The Village at Grand Traverse Commons

“If you try to find the time to volunteer, you probably won’t find it. But if you decide to make the time, you will find it for certain.”

– Susie Janis, 2015 Recipient of The Chamber Distinguished Service Award

“Never forget you work for the client. My paycheck may come from the bank, but I work for my clients. You can never take that relationship for granted, it’s too competitive a business.”

– Sid Van Slyke - Senior VP Market Leader, West Shore Bank

“Be the reason someone smiles today. I don’t remember where I heard it, but I just love it.”

– Cecilia Chesney, Executive Director Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan

“As an elected official, my words of wisdom that I follow and give to other office holders: vote your conscience, then your community & constituents, and, lastly, your caucus.” “Be passionate, honest and positive about whatever you do. An attitude that includes all three is infectious.”

– Tom Ranville, Market President Independent Bank

“Play every shift like it’s your last!”

– Connie Deneweth, Developer, Copper Ridge Co-owner, Lakemore Resort, 2015 Recipient of the Athena Award “As it relates to my work, I love the quote by the famous architect who shaped much of Chicago and their amazing waterfront, Daniel Burnham, “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir people’s blood...Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.”’

– Marsha Smith - Retired Executive Director - Rotary Charities of TC
