As 2020 slowly comes to an end, we decided to look back and reminisce about some of the things that we went through as a team and as individuals. We concluded that this year has been like no other... Team MindSpark has welcomed a boss baby mid-pandemic as well as 3 new colleagues, and 4 new pets (3 cats and a dog). We also had the chance to organize our first-ever SparkSummit - which was fantastic success - and, most importantly, survived the pandemic as a company.
We also recently threw a virtual "70's Groovy Christmas" party - which is why we look so funny on the picture above!
Without further ado, here’s some Team highlights from 2020:
Some of our proudest work accomplishments:
- Organizing our first-ever SparkSummit in less than 2 weeks
- Refreshing the MindSpark brand (will premiere in January)
- Surviving the global pandemic as a company
Some of our personal achievements:
- Realizing how strong we are emotionally
- Ability to swim upstream against all odds
- Graduating from a UX Design bootcamp
- Learning one-arm pushups and one-leg squats
- Started a journey of self-development and leaving many conflicts and issues behind
Some of the lessons we learned in 2020:
- Trust your instincts and don’t be scared of making big changes
- Cherish and appreciate things that you take for granted
- Importance of gratitude, self-respect and dedication
- Resilience is key to success
- After the storm comes the rainbow
Best movie / TV show this year:
- Queen’s Gambit
- Normal People (TV adaptation)
- Ozark

We’re most excited about in 2021:
- Having guests over (again)
- Traveling (again)
- Experiencing music concerts (again)
- Seeing friends and family (again)
- Having a team off-site in person (again)
With that, on behalf of the MindSpark Team, we’d like to wish you a *sparktacular* 2021 full of success and great things!
