Pass the mic 🎤 Community Champions

Community Champions are members who demonstrate product expertise and generosity in sharing best practices and support with others on the platform.

“I often tell colleagues or other Smartsheet-ers that this is my favorite user Community because of how responsive it is. When I’ve encountered roadblocks, there’s generally someone else in the Smartsheet-iverse that has gone through something similar and has a solution. The Community is great supplemental material to support the online training because of the real-world scenarios and experiences.”

- @Jake Gustafson, Business Process Specialist at Otter Tail Power Company (Learn more about Jake in his Member Spotlight)

Overachiever's Motivation Mix

The Smartsheet Overachievers are here to give you the songs that will keep you going and keep you achieving! Here’s what’s on the playlist right now.

Earth, Wind & Fire - September

“Hey everyone! As we roll into September and dive back into the school year, I’ve got a track that’s totally pumping me up: "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire. 🌟🍂📚️

This song isn’t just about the season—it’s all about that fresh start vibe. With its catchy beat and feel-good lyrics, it’s the perfect anthem to kick off the school year and keep that back-to-school energy high.

So, join me in cranking up “September” and I hope it fuels your motivation as we tackle new challenges and embrace the fall season! (Yes, I love pumpkin spice lattes).”

- @Sarah Val Valente , Director of Business Operations and Project Management Office at Berklee, and current Overachiever

More about Max:

Most of you know me by now but just in case you don’t I’m Max, I live in Upstate NY and love running! In fact… I love running so much that this fall I’m racing in my fifth marathon! My goal is to break sub 3 hours in order to qualify for the prestigious Boston Marathon in 2026. I know it's going to be challenging (writing this as I’m in my 10th week of training and legs are sorer than ever) but just like many of you, we work hard, progress in our careers, grow personally and professionally, and if we want something we go for it! That is exactly what I plan on doing for this race… going for it! Picture to the left is from my last marathon in 2022, the New York City Marathon. Believe it or not, I still had gusto after 26.2 miles.

Will Duplex

@Maxwell Griffith That's super impressive Max, congrats on the 4 (and soon to be 5th) finished marathons! Wishing you the best of luck this fall so that you can qualify for Boston!

Marcela

Awesome Edition @Maxwell Griffith! I feel very inspired by your words:  "We work hard, progress in our careers, grow personally and professionally, and if we want something we go for it!"

Also, what a great song for the Overachiever's Motivation Mix!

Congrats on the new Overachievers! Good luck on your marathon, I'm a sprinter myself.

Just commenting in hopes that we get some traction on the (very popular) "Put the search bar back where you found it," threads.
