SYNCHRONICITY IN ACTION
“You don’t see luck as an accident.
It’s a meaningful synchronicity.”

ack in June, we found out that Angelica, a member
of our admin team who had been working with us
part-time for the past few years, was offered an
internship opportunity at Turner Construction and,
as a result, would no longer be able to continue
working at A M Exclusive. We had hoped that she would
have been able to stay with us for another year, but at
the same time, we were extremely happy for her as the
internship aligned with her current studies in architecture
at Pratt University. As a small business, we have not had to
hire too often, as most of our employees have stayed with
us once they have joined our team. So the thought of having
to find someone to replace Angelica was weighing greatly on
our minds! It is only natural to feel uncomfortable having to
do something you do not do often.
About a week later, Claudia (a representative of the office
cleaning service we utilize) approached my team and let
them know that her daughter, Fiorella, was looking for
a part-time opportunity. She had NO idea that Angelica
was leaving us, and we had not even begun to put out any
employment ads.
A week after that, Michelle and Arasele interviewed
Fiorella (whom we found out is currently studying business
operations at Baruch College, making her an excellent match
for us as well as making us an excellent match for her), and
we hired her the next day! We had no need to spend time
seeking resumes from other candidates and filled the job
much faster than we expected.
I’m happy to report that four months later, Fiorella has
become a great addition to our team, and we are so thankful
our paths have aligned!
Have you experienced synchronicity in business?
I’d love to hear your story. Reach out to me at
