A huge thank you to Kellye Smith, PHR, BPLC, BMHC, for delivering a powerful and thought-provoking presentation yesterday on "Conversations with Ourselves: The Power of Self-Talk." The session was a compelling reminder of how the way we speak to ourselves influences our perceptions, actions, and overall well-being. At HORNE, we’re committed to helping our team members thrive—not just at work, but in every aspect of their lives. Presentations like this align with our mission to empower personal and professional growth by offering tools that enhance mental health and foster resilience. Positive self-talk isn’t just a "nice-to-have" practice—it’s a game-changer for productivity, decision-making, and stress management. Whether you're navigating challenges at work or building meaningful relationships at home, how you speak to yourself sets the tone for success. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and here's to continuing the journey of growth and self-discovery!

This season, we reflect on the true meaning of Christmas: the gift of hope, peace and joy through the birth of our Savior. "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." – Isaiah 9:6 May the promise of this verse bring peace to your heart and purpose to your journey. From all of us at HORNE, we wish you and your loved ones a Christmas filled with the blessings of this sacred season. Happy Holidays! 🎄✨

As we prepare to end 2024, please take note of an important change to the Corporate Transparency Act.
