Olympic Lessons: Core Values in Motion
Long-time readers of the Digest may recall the special newsletter we ran from 2020 – 2022 called The Hope Chronicles. The goal of The Hope Chronicles was to share examples of the beauty of humanity and the power of human resilience – foundational beliefs that drive our worldview at Yeske Buie – during a difficult time when we all needed it most.
We’ve recently been reminded of these foundations in thinking about the start of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. So far during the trials, these incredible athletes from around the world have put their resilience, discipline, talents, and humanity on the line for millions to see, and we can’t help but feel inspired. We hope their stories uplift and motivate you as well.
