Hi, I'm Maria Mercer. And I'm the vice president of human resources with Ryan LLC. The mastermind membership has helped me in my role because it's been a safe place, kind of a psychologically safe place for us to share, or for me to personally share the challenges that I'm having in my day to day role to get great feedback, and then to help me strategize on what I can do to kind of help fix those things.

So it's a place where we can sort of share and be safe in terms of like telling us what our challenges are in any given day. And that's, that's really hard when you're in a vice-president role and above, it's hard to have that safe space because you're assumed that, you know, everything that there is to know around human resources.

And I feel like I've grown tremendously over the course of this time. And I've stretched. I've definitely seen opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally.

Terry Snodgrass:
How it's helped me translate that into my organization is just being able to be around other individuals that are going through either similar experiences or bring that true diversity of thought that is helping me to think differently and to show up differently and also think about how that would translate into my organization.

Terry Snodgrass:
So for someone that's considering joining HR Mastermind, I would say definitely, definitely join. It's been a fantastic opportunity for me. I've been with this...
