LPi • July 24, 2023

The LPi Vibrant Employee Award honors those who have exceeded performance expectations while modeling the LPi Core Values — passion, positive team spirit, servant leadership, embracing change, and having fun. All employees are eligible to nominate someone for the award, and all employees are eligible to win the award.

Our 2023 winner is Sarah Van Lieshout. Sarah serves as as a Learning & Development Specialist. Her coworkers praised her in their nominations including statements with sentiments like,

“Her training sessions each week have set this entire company up for success for years to come!”

“Sarah has gone above and beyond for every single new employee here at LPi. She is so very helpful, smart as a whip, and pays close attention to detail.”

“Since I started with LPi, Sarah has been simply amazing. She was always there for me personally to answer my 1,000's of questions and that same attitude carried over to the employees on my team she has helped train and onboard. She makes the extra effort to ensure all new hires feel welcome and excited to be with LPi.”

Winners of the Vibrant Employee Award are recognized at an all-hands company meeting and awarded an all-expenses paid trip for them and a guest to a place of their choosing. Upon winning the award, Van Lieshout shared, “I'm so incredibly surprised and honored to receive this award. LPi is full of some of the most passionate and mission-driven individuals I've ever met. This only further excites my passion for continuing to help others reach their goals through learning and development.”

The Runners-up for this year’s award were ad graphic designer Amanda Carroll, and Salesforce admin Eleanor Polat. Honorable mentions this year included employees Mark Daniel, Colleen Feldner, Kristee Flynn, Dave Larsen, Becky Marszal, Karen Mueller, and Teresa Perkins.

Congratulations to everyone mentioned!

Some Say

By Colleen Jurkiewicz Dorman • June 26, 2025

At first, the Apostles try to dodge the question. When Jesus confronts them — and make no mistake, it is a confrontation — with the question “Who do you say that I am?” they act like a man whose wife has just asked him if she looks fat in these jeans. The evasiveness of their answer puts politicians to shame: “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Some say. But Jesus doesn’t let them off easy. He repeats himself. He wants an answer. “Who do you say that I am?” They all know the answer. They all believe the answer. And they all know the answer could get them thrown in prison or killed. Only Peter is brave enough to say it: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” People have a lot of opinions about God. They always have. They have a lot of opinions about Jesus and the Bible, about the Catholic Church and the Pope. Some of these opinions are well-founded, well-researched. Some of them are based in ignorance. Many are born of painful misunderstandings. But they are all just that: opinions. Some say. We know who Jesus is. We know who the Eucharist is. We know what the truth is. Amid the chaos and the violence and the excruciating loudness of this fallen world and all the words it shouts into the void about God and Jesus and right and wrong, we know . But will we answer? ©LPi
