Celebrating Whitney Smith for Leadership Excellence
We are thrilled to share some exciting news about a shining star within our team – Whitney Smith, our esteemed Legal Intake Team Lead. Whitney has recently been accepted into the prestigious Leadership pathway with Crisp, a remarkable achievement considering the rigorous selection process that saw over 400 applicants.
Whitney is an exceptional example of our Client-Focused core value. She leads her team with full understanding that Viles & Beckman exists to serve our clients and knows that an exceptional, personalized experience is our shared duty and responsibility.
At Viles & Beckman, we don’t just talk about excellence; we bring it every day. Her team has shared, “Whitney goes above and beyond for the Firm every single day. She is the definition of #all-in. I have not seen anyone living and breathing Viles & Beckman and our Core Values [like Whitney does.] She sets the Firm up for success and her team. She deserves the world and more. She is just the BEST.”
Our commitment to being better today than yesterday and striving for continuous improvement is embedded in our culture. We are delighted to see Whitney, a true embodiment of these values, being recognized and offered this incredible opportunity for professional growth. “Whitney has been working so hard this year to embrace every opportunity for growth and development as well as every challenge that she is presented with. She has been a rockstar when it comes to changes and projects and leads her team so well. Whitney is always thinking about what she can do to improve the intake process. If her team has a question or needs more clarity, she is jumping in to collaborate with team members so that she can equip her team to be set up for success. She has embraced every challenge and has done a fantastic job of bringing information back from Crisp and implementing new ideas for the continued betterment of the Firm” shared another
A great leader possesses a unique set of qualities, and Whitney exemplifies these traits with unwavering commitment. She is not just a manager but an inspiration to her team of five Legal Intake Specialists. Upon winning recognition as our June Employee of the Month, she was described as, “not only pouring into her team members, but into other leaders and everyone at the Firm. She is absolutely a leader that I want to emulate. She is passionate about the Firm and embodies our Core Values in all she does. Whitney is adaptable, results-driven, and takes accountability.”
How does Crisp define a great leader deemed worthy of this selection process? Someone who is eager to learn, resilient in the face of challenges, influential in motivating others, encourages innovation, thinks critically, upholds ethical standards, is solutions-focused, decisive, and highly accountable. An extension and challenging list to many; Whitney embodies all these qualities and more.
Whitney’s acceptance into the Crisp Leadership program is a testament to her thoughtful application and the remarkable accomplishments during her nearly seven years with the Firm. This exclusive coaching and mentorship program will provide her with the tools and insights to further enhance her leadership skills and contribute even more profoundly to our team.
Our COO, Kayla Grayson, perfectly captures the essence of our approach to leadership: “At V&B, we understand that everything rises and falls on leadership. Leadership development is a focal point and ongoing executive initiative for us. We are extremely proud of Whitney and cannot wait to see the growth she experiences within the Crisp Leadership Development pathway.” This philosophy underscores our commitment to fostering leadership talents, recognizing that empowering individuals like Whitney propels the advancement of our entire team.
As we congratulate Whitney on this well-deserved opportunity, we reflect on the positive impact she has had on our Firm and the individuals she leads. The intake team is often the first voice that our clients hear when they reach out to our office for help. It is our mission to support clients through their most challenging life events by fighting and advocating for all of their needs as if they were our own family. “Whitney is always giving her 100 percent to the intake team. She leads by example,” says another colleague.
We are incredibly proud of her achievements and look forward to witnessing her continued growth and success.
Please join us in celebrating Whitney Smith – a true leader, an inspiration, and a valued member of the Viles & Beckman family. We are incredibly blessed to have you and can’t wait to watch your leadership journey unfold in 2024 and beyond!
