Under the stewardship of Geoff Boxer and Mechelle Lughermo at Greenfield Partners, I learned the profound impact a positive work environment can have on productivity and happiness. The culture there was not just about work; it was about community. We had a tradition of gathering around the kitchen for lunch, sharing stories and laughter which fostered a sense of belonging and joy. I took this lesson to heart when I started Hatcher, implementing team lunches every Friday, aiming to replicate that sense of camaraderie and support, which has proven invaluable in building a cohesive and motivated team.
