Last week, Typhoon Kristine swept through, making nature’s test of endurance part of our daily grind. But as our team at SEA Inc. showed, even stormy skies can’t cloud our purpose. This past week, we didn’t just survive Typhoon Kristine – we thrived through it. It feels as though each raindrop, gust, and rumble of thunder is a reminder that our commitment to purpose is as unyielding as nature itself.

When you face nature’s literal storms, you can find some powerful takeaways, and each team member found their nuggets of wisdom to inspire us all. 

Angela:
“Typhoon Kristine may have made a splash, but we’re the ones with the real waves! Passion doesn’t just float; it rises above every storm.”

Angela taught us that even when things get wild, nothing – not even a typhoon – can wash away our purpose. Her strength shines through the storms, and with each new challenge, she keeps us anchored and moving forward.

Les:
“Life’s like a rollercoaster, with highs, lows, and loops. But empathy? That’s the safety belt we all need.”

Les reminds us that no matter how turbulent the ride, empathy keeps us grounded. When things are rough, it’s not about how high or low we go, but how we lift each other up along the way.

Ann Loren:
“Uncomfortable tasks? I say bring ‘em on! Growth loves to get cozy with discomfort.”

Ann Loren faced tasks out of her comfort zone with grit and humor. Her insight reminds us that discomfort is just a stepping stone toward growth. With every new challenge, we’re not just enduring – we’re evolving.

Christa:
“Life’s curveballs? Bring ‘em on. I’m swinging hard and swinging bravely every time.”

Christa taught us that bravery is about showing up, even when life throws a curve. She reminds us that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s showing up anyway, ready to face what’s next.

Cheryl:
“When life feels like a nonstop ride, just hang on and enjoy the view. I survived my thesis – what’s a little extra workload?”

Cheryl handled her thesis defense and a jam-packed week like a pro. Life’s chaos? She embraces it with gratitude, showing that every completed task is fuel to handle whatever life brings next.

Gidz:
“When the storm passes, remember the sunshine. Life is short; let’s enjoy every season.”

Gidz is our resident reminder to savor each moment. Typhoon delays couldn’t dampen his spirit; he’s here to show us that even cloudy days have their silver lining. Life’s temporary – every challenge is a passing storm.

Ann Fanega:
“Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to hit pause. Clarity is our productivity’s best friend.”

Ann Fanega knows the value of a good pause. When work gets intense, taking a step back can be the smartest way to move forward. It’s a reminder that clarity doesn’t just come with progress; it comes with balance.

Christine:
“Positive thoughts open the door to positive possibilities. Face challenges, and watch resilience bloom into gratitude and joy.”

Christine’s optimism is infectious. She shows us that facing challenges with positivity isn’t just a mindset; it’s a tool for growth. Her resilience teaches us that when we keep our thoughts bright, opportunities shine through.

Rosanna:
“The weather may throw us off course, but it can’t knock us down. When setbacks come, we’re ready to rise.”

Rosanna’s resolve is all about finding a way forward, no matter what. Her words remind us that obstacles are temporary, and with each setback, there’s a new way to begin again.

Angelic:
“Joy is a boomerang. The more you share, the more it comes back – we’re all family here.”

Angelic’s focus on joy brings us full circle. Her spirit reminds us that when we bring positivity to others, it echoes back. Our team isn’t just a group of colleagues – we’re a family in the truest sense.

As we learned from each other this past week, storms may come and go, but a strong team stands firm and keeps moving forward, undeterred. So here’s to SEA Inc., where our dedication to purpose rises above even the wildest weather, and our family spirit makes us stronger with every storm.
