“I leave my house every day around 8:30 a.m., excited to get to work,” Stella shares. “I look forward to our 9:30 a.m. huddle every day.”
Building Connections: The Morning Huddle
The day kicks off with the DEVENEY team’s daily huddle, a cornerstone of collaboration and communication. This meeting sets priorities, shares updates, and opens the floor for learning opportunities.
