Holly Lynch of The Season Events and Veronica Martinez of Riverwood Senior Living

00:00 /

Holly Lynch, owner of The Season Events, brings a creative and organized approach to event planning. She graduated from Berry College in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and from Kennesaw State University in 2003 with a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Marketing.

Before beginning her own business, she worked in corporate marketing and design. She planned corporate events such as annual meetings, sales seminars, company outings, and customer appreciation events. She also gained valuable marketing, public relations, and design experience.

The Season Events was created in early 2007 to offer professional and personal event planning services to the greater Northwest Georgia area. The Season Events plans social and corporate events, from weddings to annual meetings. The Season has managed multi-day/multi-venue conferences, weddings of all sizes, and destination events outside of Georgia. The unique, personal approach The Season Events brings to each event, along with the dedication of Holly and her team, makes her clients feel like a guest at their own party. The company’s mission is to create meaningful events that connect people to each other. In early 2014, The Season Events hired Ray Harris, a former independent caterer, to become a full-service event planning, catering, and event design company. The company recently opened a second office in Cartersville, Ga.

Holly lives in Rome with her husband and three dogs. She is a member of Providence Baptist Church, the Noon Optimist Club of Rome, and is a volunteer with the Open Door Home and the Community Kitchen. The Season Events is an active member of the Rome/Floyd Chamber of Commerce, the Gordon County Chamber, and the Bartow County Chamber.

Veronica Martinez serves as the Community Consultant for Riverwood Senior Living. She graduated Coosa Valley Technical College in 2006 with an Associates Degree in Marketing. She was introduced to the Senior Living industry in 2008. Throughout the years her experience has taken her from front office Receptionist, to Business Office Manager, Executive Assistant, Sales and Executive Director. Out of all the positions she has held, Sales has been by far the most rewarding, from the discovery of a new resident to the final step of the move in process.

What she believes sets Riverwood apart from other Personal Care Homes is their compassion and their loving family- oriented atmosphere. Facing the challenges alongside a family when they have a life changing decision for a loved one, to seeing the resident thrive in your community is the most humbling experience one could have. Seeing them flourish once again, hearing their individual stories and learning from their life experiences is what brings joy to each and every single employee. With God’s will, she says she will always strive to give her 100% to the residents, their families and her colleagues. Her goal is to always keep a humble heart and open mind.

INNOVATIONS IN CARDIAC CARE CAN SAVE AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WORLDWIDE

1 in Every 120 Babies in the U.S. is born with Heart Disease

February is Heart Health Awareness Month

GUEST:

Jonathan Chen, MD, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)

MORE ABOUT DR. JONATHAN CHEN:

Dr. Chen is the Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the Co-Director of the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. His clinical research has primarily been directed toward surgical issues in complex congenital heart care and cardiac transplantation (focusing on advances with operative techniques, outcomes research and transplantation for congenital heart disease), with a particular emphasis on the development of mechanical ventricular assist devices for children, as well as stem-cell-based valved conduits for pediatric application.

The Cardiac Center at CHOP cares for babies prior to birth, infants, children, and young adults with congenital and acquired heart conditions.

The birth of a child is a joyous occasion for an entire family. But for the families of the more than 40,000 American babies born each year with congenital heart disease (CHD), it also brings fear and uncertainty. There are multiple types of congenital heart disease and for those parents whose children do have a heart condition, they may not be fully aware of the various treatment options.

For example, cardiac catheterization is a procedure that can be used to both diagnose and treat many heart conditions. It is a highly specialized procedure that requires the expertise of a skilled and experienced team. In CHOP’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, a team of dedicated specialists performs more than 1,400 cardiac catheterization procedures each year on newborns, infants, children, and young adults.

Did You Know?

1 in 120 babies is born with heart disease each year in the US – that’s 40,000 babies every year.
Congenital heart disease is approximately 60 times more prevalent than childhood cancer.
About 25% of babies with CHD have a critical form and generally need intervention during their first year of life.
The Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia team performs more than 850 pediatric heart surgeries a year, including open heart and closed heart procedures and heart transplants.
Over 85% of babies born in the U.S. with CHD now live to at least age 18.

BRX Pro Tip: Mentor Challenge Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, you have a new challenge, the mentor challenge.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:10] Yeah, I think this is going to be a fun one. If you haven’t been doing any mentoring, I highly recommend investing some time, and identifying a young, up-and-coming person to mentor. It’s very rewarding for you. You might learn something. You might be able to get an intern out of this. There might be—there’s a lot of benefits for you personally and in terms of growing your studio as well.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:34] I recommend going to a university, finding somebody interested in the work that we’re doing. I recommend them being kind of more along the lines of a sophomore, junior, or maybe in PR, sales, or marketing. I wouldn’t get a senior where they have an expectation that they’re going to get a job out of it at the end. I’d rather have someone younger, and hungrier, and that isn’t quite sure what path they want to be in, in order to kind of get them—teach them about what kind of work we’re doing in the studio.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:04] And you always choose for a—you know, select by attitude and train for skills. I wouldn’t care if they had any of the skills that we need in terms of, you know, producing or hosting or anything like that. I’d like them to be, at least, comfortable with technology and social media, but I would choose for the right attitude. And then, I would train them in whatever skills I needed them to do. But I would be open to meeting with them, helping them achieve their goals, and making their dreams come true, and being a resource and a connector to help accelerate their growth as a young person that’s trying to learn.

Stone Payton: [00:01:41] Well, on to your earlier point, you’re gonna get so much out of this relationship. It’s just it crystallizes your own thinking, and it’s also just very rewarding when you are tasked to articulate some of the wisdom that you’ve gained over the years, and when you are tasked with trying to help another person, sort of, mutually self-discover some of these realities, It’s just very rewarding work, and you’re gonna get as much out of it, if not more so than the—what do you call it? Mentee?

Lee Kantor: [00:02:11] Mentee, right.

Stone Payton: [00:02:13] Yeah.
