While plumbing may be new to the Gulfshore name, it's not new to our Team. Our plumbing department is built on decades of hands-on experience, proven systems, and deep commitment to doing the job right--- the same standards that have made Gulfshore Cooling a trusted name in home comfort.

It also means the right parts every time, helping protect your system’s warranty and extend its lifespan. 🏡🔧

Kurt Bratton liked thisKurt Bratton liked thisOur Head of CS played center midfield for the Azkals (Philippine national team). His best skill? Assists, not goals. Meet Mark Winhoffer. Before Rilla, he played in the World Cup qualifiers against China and won an Ivy League championship at Yale as Player of the Year. He even scored a header against Guam. Celebrated for 15 minutes before FIFA ruled it an own goal. He didn't go into coaching after soccer. He went into customer success. Turns out it's the same job. Read the game. Put your teammates in position. Make everyone better. Mark runs our CS team like a pro sports team. No one is bigger than the team. Get 1% better every day. Perfect your craft. He doesn't chase metrics. He coaches people. People on his team have gone from unsure to unstoppable. From ICs to running entire functions. From running the old CS playbook to pioneering it with AI. Our NRR is world-class. Not because of a fancy playbook. Because Mark invested in his people first, and the results followed. We hire for slope, not pedigree. Mark's resume is a soccer pitch, not a CS textbook. But if CS taught him anything, it's what that own goal taught him. The assist matters more than the goal.

Kurt Bratton liked thisKurt Bratton liked thisThe #1 thing separates change that stick from ones that fail. It has nothing to do with strategy. It has everything to do with how well you bring people through it Many leaders focus on the process Only a few focus on the people inside it And that gap is where change usually fails Here are 6 proven frameworks to lead change with empathy and momentum: 1/ ADKAR by Prosci The ADKAR Model focuses on individual change through five stages: → Awareness → Desire → Knowledge → Ability → Reinforcement. Focus on what each person needs to move forward. 2/ Kotter’s 8-Step Model Build urgency. Rally champions. Create quick wins. A practical roadmap to make change stick. 3/ Lewin’s Model Unfreeze → Change → Refreeze Break old habits. Introduce the new. Then Reinforce it. A simple structure to embed lasting change. 4/ McKinsey’s 7-S Model Align your internal engine: strategy, structure, systems, and culture, so everything moves in sync. 5/ Kubler-Ross Change Curve People grieve the old. This model helps you guide them through denial, resistance, and renewal - with empathy. These frameworks aren’t the strategy. Understanding your people is. Which of these are you actually using? -- 📌 If you want a high-res PDF of this sheet: 1. Follow Daniel Lock 2. Like the post 3. Repost to your network 4. Subscribe to: https://lnkd.in/gJuC-kM5

Leggett & Platt
At our High Point Furniture Branch in High Point, NC, safety isn’t just a protocol – it’s a culture. Under the leadership of Branch Manager Barry Poole and EHS Manager Bill Covert, the team has made remarkable strides in strengthening safety awareness, reporting processes, and employee engagement, all while living out our company value of putting people first. One standout initiative has been the Environmental Health & Safety Suggestion Incentive Program. Launched in early 2023, the program empowers employees to report hazards and near-misses, recognize unsafe conditions, and suggest improvements – rewarding proactive behavior with monthly and quarterly recognition and incentives. But more than the rewards, it’s built trust. Employees know their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed. By tracking and analyzing incident data, the team identified areas for improvement and acted swiftly. One department reported the most near-misses, not because of more risk, but because of a strong commitment to reporting. This data-driven approach led to targeted “safety stand-downs,” which are focused conversations about stopping unsafe acts and real-time feedback that’s already shifting behaviors. In just over a year, the results are clear: more reporting, fewer hazards, and a deeper sense of shared responsibility. As Bill said, “Our employees see us putting our money where our mouth is.” High Point Furniture is setting a powerful example of what it means to care for our people, improve our culture, and ensure everyone goes home safe every day. Thank you to our colleagues at High Point Furniture for putting people first!

Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA)
Last week, legislators and industry leaders joined PEPA Vice President, Government Affairs & Advocacy, Alex Fernandez, and PEPA member Cornerstone Building Brands in Gaffney, SC, for an inside look at how polymeric building materials are made — and why these products matter to South Carolina’s economy, workforce and housing market. On the tour, leaders saw firsthand how much is at stake. The Gaffney plant supports hundreds of local jobs, produces sustainable materials with recycled content, including polypropylene shake and accessories, and long lifespans and helps keep housing affordable for South Carolina families. Employees are trained in advanced manufacturing technologies, representing a major investment in the local workforce. The takeaway is clear: building codes and aesthetic mandates aren’t abstract — they have REAL consequences for jobs, affordability and innovation. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) latest estimates show that, nationally, 100.5 million households are already unable to afford the median-priced ($459,826) new home.Aesthetic mandates increase the cost of homes. A $1,000 increase in the price of that median-priced new home will further price 115,593 U.S. households out of the market. Thank you to all who joined us for the tour and saw firsthand the innovation, skill and impact behind South Carolina’s polymeric building products industry. Together, we can protect jobs, expand housing options and support a stronger future for our communities. #WeArePEPA [Special thank you to attendees: T.J. Cobb, Mike Humphreys & Shane Alfonse – Ply Gem, Rep. M. Brian Lawson (District 30 – Cherokee/Spartanburg), Rep. Brandon Duffey (District 48 – York County), Donald G. Chapman, AIA,CMB (District 8 – Anderson County), Rep. Blake Sanders (District 9 – Anderson County), Rep.

Master Odor Removal - Greenville (Upstate)
At Master Odor Removal – Greenville, we take a fundamentally different approach—one grounded in responsible environmental stewardship. As a green-certified odor removal company, we do not rely on ozone, chlorine, or other reactive chemicals that may compromise indoor air quality or occupant health. Instead, we use proven, non-toxic, and family-safe technologies designed to neutralize odor at the molecular level without producing harmful by-products. This science-first methodology allows us to protect people, pets, properties, and materials while delivering permanent results across residential, commercial, automotive, marine, and specialty environments. In an industry where outdated methods are still widely promoted, we believe informed clients deserve solutions that are effective, transparent, and aligned with modern environmental and public health standards.
