Lisa Shows Decisiveness Through Prioritizing Her Work!
Being decisive comes down to being great at separating what must be done well now from what can be improved later. It means making tough decisions and not second-guessing them, moving quickly, being objective, and solving challenges.

What makes this recognition meaningful to you?
Being decisive has not always been a strength of mine but is an area that I have worked to improve, so receiving this award is a great reinforcement that I have made progress.
What is your most meaningful accomplishment from this past quarter?
Supporting the Shopify project through my knowledge about our customer records and how customers will interact with their accounts on the website.
What is one area you are seeking growth? What difference will it make?
It has been an ongoing goal of mine for a while to invest more time and effort in feedback. Both giving and receiving feedback well are skills that should be developed and practiced, and are essential to learning and continuous improvement.
How have others supported your growth while at Clickstop?
I’ve been able to shift roles or responsibilities multiple times over the years to best fit my strengths. As I’ve grown in knowledge, experience, and skills I have always appreciated that Clickstop has allowed me to evolve my role and what I do to fit how I’ve evolved as a person.
Whether you’re working from home or onsite, what has been your biggest challenge navigating a new work environment? How have you sought to overcome that challenge?
I think the biggest challenge has been to be much more deliberate with communication and building relationships with coworkers. We’ve tried a few different things as a team and personally I’ve tried to be deliberate about reaching out to people.
Do you dance when no one is looking?
Of course
You’re in the circus, would you rather be the person with their head inside the lion’s mouth or get shot out of the cannon?
Definitely shot out of a cannon.
What is one thing you loved as a child that today’s kids would know nothing about (ex. Walkman, Spirograph, Cabbage Patch Kids, etc.)?
Lite Brite. I think they still sell them actually and they’re labelled as ‘retro’.

Breathe under water.
