For Gewina Lawson, a long-tenured member of the Morningstar Storage family, those two things seem to happen at least every day. We recently sat down with Gewina to learn more about her experiences and why she\u2019s stuck with us since the earliest days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How She Found Her Way to Morningstar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gewina got started as a manager for Morningstar back when the interview process involved many of the company\u2019s first team members, including our much-beloved founder and CEO, Stephen Benson (Mr. B). After learning about the open position via a recruiter, she went through the process of two panel interviews that also involved Phyllis McArthur, then-CFO and one of Morningstar\u2019s original employees, founding partner Neville Christie, and current VP of Storage Strategy Brian Pelski\u2014some of the original members of the Morningstar team! Mr. B. called her shortly thereafter and said he was \u201ctickled pink\u201d to hire her. In those days, each member of the company revolved through as district managers of sorts, and Gewina credits the chance to work directly with them as a highlight of her career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On Cherished Memories with Morningstar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You don\u2019t manage eight stores over the course of nearly three decades without making some cherished memories. For Gewina, two stand out above the others. In the years while her children were young, Mr. B would make a note of her children\u2019s Christmas wish lists each year and then call the house and leave messages on the answering machine pretending to be Santa Claus, reciting each list over the phone in detail &#8211; a much-loved bit of of holiday magic for her family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>More recently, during the global pandemic, Gewina wanted to do something to make her teammates laugh, so she petitioned current Morningstar CEO David Benson to dance on video for 15 seconds. She asked other members of both the corporate and store leadership teams to join in the fun. And because everyone immediately said yes, no questions asked, it led to an entertaining dance compilation video that put some much-needed smiles on several faces across the entire company. (For the dignity of the dance-challenged but good-spirited participants, we will not share the video, but we will say there&#8217;s a reason most of our careers are in storage and not in dancing.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Changed for Morningstar? What Does the Future Hold?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"283\" class=\"wp-image-12867 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1-1000x197.png 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"283\" class=\"wp-image-12867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/photo-chatladies-1-1000x197.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even though the buildings, the decor, and some of the functions of the business have changed, one thing hasn\u2019t: the company\u2019s values. That\u2019s important to Gewina, and one of several reasons why she\u2019s stayed with the company for so long. \u201cEven as things continue to improve,\u201d she says, \u201cwhat makes Morningstar \u2018<em>Morningstar<\/em>\u2019 is still there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because of this, she says, the only direction the company can go is upward and onward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gewina\u2019s Passions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At work, Gewina is passionate about her customers and being empathetic to their needs. She\u2019ll laugh and talk with them for hours, but she\u2019ll also lend a caring ear, too. In fact, she believes that empathy is a superpower of hers, something she shares with many of our managers. When she\u2019s away from the store, her great passions are her family and education. She comes from a big family\u2014with 10 siblings!\u2014and has five children of her own. That makes large family gatherings a highlight of her life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving Back to the Community<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gewina is also passionate about education, and with a household full of teachers\u2014all five children and her husband\u2014it\u2019s a major priority for her community involvement. She loves attending school sporting events and taking part in fundraisers and community projects. Another organization she frequently cites as important is the American Cancer Society.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How She Spends Free Time<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWhen I <em>have<\/em> free time,\u201d she says, laughing, \u201cI really love running, shopping, dancing, and singing.\u201d She\u2019s also a fan of travel, with the Bahamas as a recent favorite destination. If you ask where she\u2019d like to visit in the future, Hawaii is on the list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surprising Facts<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gewina describes herself as a morning person, and getting up at 4 am or 5 am every day proves it (oof). \u201cThat\u2019s when I do most of my thinking and planning,\u201d she explains, \u201cbut I\u2019m also in bed by seven or eight o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12868 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1600x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"514\" height=\"342\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1600x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"514\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.morningstarstorage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hales-photo-morningstar-1096-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Advice and Storage Insights<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>She cites the desire to learn every day as one piece of advice that\u2019s really stuck with her through the years and one thing that\u2019s helped her continue to grow as a manager.
