‘Tis the season for some of 8THIRTYFOUR’s favorite things. Whether it be food, drinks or activities, we’ve rounded out our top five trending topics in our office for you this wintertime. Sit back with some hot cocoa and Baileys (#3) and read on to see what makes our team members jolly this season.

#5: CHEESY HOLIDAY MOVES

Whether you’d like to admit it or not, everyone has a soft spot for those low-budget cheesy holiday movies with recycled storylines that will inevitably have you crying tears of happiness when Jason gives up his acting career after falling in love with his old next door neighbor while he was home for the holidays…or something along those lines.

#4: SNOWBOARDING

We love taking a weekend in the winter to go to one of the many nearby ski resorts in Michigan. There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline you get from snowboarding down a hill. There’s also nothing quite like rewarding yourself with a beer with close friends after a fun day on the slopes. 

#3: HOT COCOA AND BAILEYS

One of our staple wintertime drinks is hot cocoa mixed with Baileys. It’s warm, creamy, chocolate-y, and has just the right amount of sweetness. Cue remote-controlled fireplace and cozy blanket, please. 

#2: HOMEMADE PUPPY CHOW

Obviously, we are putting an emphasis on the homemade part. The winter season is not complete without a batch of this yummy, sugary snack in the 8THIRTYFOUR office. We’re even eating it as we type this blog.

#1: BUFFALO PLAID

What is a winter without buffalo plaid? Our founder, Kim Bode, rounds out our top five favorite things with her personal favorite for the season. You can find her sporting this print, as well as our office décor, from November through January.

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energyâ„¢ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
