Everyone Has a Hand in Circle

Sometimes, a little thing says a lot.

On the corridor walls in The Circle Group headquarters in Alpharetta, employees, associates and their families enjoy dipping a hand in paint colors of their choice and leaving a handprint on the Circle Group wall.

Here's how Jerry Marchelletta, the head of The Circle Group, describes the wall, and what it represents:

"Everyone and their families that have anything to do with our business are encouraged to put their handprint on the wall, along with a single word that they feel embodies who they are and/or what Circle means to them."

It's a simple gesture, but these are the sort of gestures that speak volumes. Here are just some of the words left by the handprints, and the names of the authors.

"Love" (Terri Smith), "Home" (Dale Smith), "Loyalty" (Bryan Navito), "Family" (Mike Brooks, Chris Spires), "Driven" (Mike Dominici), "Success" (Dana Woodward), "Team" (Heath Harrison, Cliff Knight), "Laughter" (Ashley Robinson), "El Magnifico" (Roberto Flores), "Georgia" (Phillip Rhodes), "Hard Work" (Casey Kilgore), "Friends" (Meaghan Lorie).

To all of the above and the many others not mentioned, thanks for leaving a piece of your heart written on the walls of The Circle Group.
