Good morning all! The page has been inactive for a few months now but only because The Driven Compass has been so busy. The last couple of months of 2014 flew by and 2015 has gotten off to an amazing start. Last year a sister company started, TDC Promotions. More info coming soon. Hope everyone is staying warm these days. As always, thanks so much for your support!
Great campaign, let's all help out!
Took Seely to visit our client Happy Hound today. She loved the store, met some 4-legged friends and came home with treats. She's been pretty busy with her bully stick since we got home.
Don't delay! Amazing program!

For those of you that don't know me personally, my background is 25 years in the veterinary profession. This story will bring you tears, so get ready with the box of tissues. I'm also very involved with my local county organization Leadership Loudoun. We are in the midst of our 2014 class year and yesterday one of the groups presented a day on Volunteering. The group did an amazing job and really made their audience think deeply about why we choose to give back, who we choose to give to and the WIIFM (what's in it for me). Reading this blog article this morning tied in nicely to their day and gets me thinking about why I make the choices in life that I make.
My receptionist Ericka was in tears. The caller had said some pretty mean things to her, and she's sensitive to what people say to her. She thrust the phone towards me, and pleaded for me to deal...

January has been a busy busy month for The Driven Compass and it's been wonderful!! I have the most amazing clients who have pushed me to be a better person, challenged my skills and have reminded me that our local community of small businesses is full of incredibly smart and talented people. Good things truly do come to those who are patient!
Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Negative thoughts, never a good idea....hahaha!!!! A friend posted this picture this morning and it fits right into the last two weeks of leadership course.
I've mentioned briefly before that I'm currently taking a course thru Case Western Reserve called Inspiring Leadership thru Emotional Intelligence. This video was in last weeks module and it's totally worth the 14 minutes it takes to watch it. Teachers, leaders, managers.....really anyone who works with other people (by the way, that's all of us!!) can get so much from this.
Loudoun Announcement for Groundbreaking of Pacific Boulevard:
On Thursday, December 19 at 2:30 p.m., Loudoun County Board Chairman Scott K. York will preside over a groundbreaking for Pacific Boulevard at the Kincora Fire and Rescue station located at 21130 Pacific Boulevard in Sterling.
The groundbreaking will celebrate a 1.5-mile extension of Pacific Boulevard that will complete its connection to Russell Branch Parkway. This will create an uninterrupted thoroughfare from Route 606 near the Washington Dulles International Airport to Ashburn Village, which is about five miles outside Leesburg.
“Pacific Boulevard runs parallel to Routes 28 and 7, the two most-used roadways in Eastern Loudoun,” York explains. “This project will result in an close to 20,000 vehicles being taken off of Routes 28 and 7 each day, which will drastically cut rush-hour congestion on those roads.”
The Pacific Boulevard construction project was brought about by a proffer made by N.A. Dulles Real Estate Investor, LLC, the company behind the Kincora development, which is slated to include four million square feet of office space and 500,000 square feet of retail when completed. The $36 million Pacific Boulevard project is being financed by bonds issued by the Loudoun County Economic Development Authority to repay the Virginia Transportation Infrastructure Bank loan.
This is great and a good laugh for a snowy morning. Thanks Christy Bell for sharing.
Things that matter. Pass 'em on.
