Sick of Zoom Meetings? Aren’t We All. Try These Simple Solutions to Zoom Fatigue.

Here’s something to think about: Even the Chief Executive Officer of Zoom, Eric Yuan, says he’s sick of holding virtual meetings.

Zooms in a row.

We’ve never had that many Zooms back to back, but we …

How to Create the Best Workspace at Home or the Office

When people were forced into home offices last spring, many weren’t sure how long it would last.

They worked from dining room tables or kids’ desks or even lounging back in their beds for months before realizing these weren’t permanent solutions. While it may be fun to work from the couch for a few days, an unsteady working environment can become a pain in the neck — sometimes quite …

We have seen how kindness can make the world a better place, and we love that. Everyone has gone through times …

Our Silver Lining in 2020

Oh, 2020.

What more can be said about this year that we all haven’t said at one point or another?

(I can tell you right now I’m counting down the MINUTES until we get to 2021!)

It was a rough one from start to finish, to put it in the simplest, nicest way possible. I don’t think any of us have ever experienced a year like this where so much …

6 Ways You Can “Be Better Every Day” at Work and at Home

There are a lot of things we can’t control right now. We can’t say when life will go back to “normal” or whether schools will be virtual or in-person in six months or if we’ll still be wearing face masks next summer.

But there is one thing we can always control, and that’s our attitude.

During hard times, it can be tough to maintain a positive attitude. We get it. …

15 Kind Things You Can Do for Your Co-Workers This Summer

2020 hasn’t been the year any of us expected. Many of us have adjusted to new situations and new expectations, which can be challenging.

One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is the need to support our co-workers. If anything, that has gotten stronger during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve been thinking lately about ways we can help each other. At SGC, we believe practicing small kindnesses is a fantastic way …

From one small business to another…..we get it.  You are our friends, our family, our neighbors, and we are all in this together.  Your business has employed so many people we know and you have given back so generously to our community. 

We at SGC have spent time thinking how our small business can help other small businesses. One thing we have, as a company built on our relationships, is …

Unplug to Recharge – the Digital Detox

By Molly Graham

I can’t even begin to tell you how many diet fads are going on right now. It seems like there’s a new one every month or so. And while I’m all about living a healthy, balanced life, I’m pretty over hearing about Hollywood’s latest “tips and tricks” to make everyone lose their mind about how they look.
