Last week, our team had the opportunity to participate in an incredible sales training with Brad Rosen , who joined us in person to walk us through the StrivePath Partners Sales Training program — and we benefited so much from it. Not only was it highly informative, but it was also dynamic, engaging, and genuinely fun. 🎉😁
StrivePath’s approach really resonated with our Account Managers and Recruiters. As they describe themselves: “StrivePath Partners is a sales training advisory firm that helps companies build a strong, scalable training infrastructure starting with early-career talent. We bring creativity, collaboration, and change management to every engagement—working closely with leadership to align recruitment, onboarding, training, and development with the company’s vision, culture, and growth goals.”
Here are a few of our biggest takeaways from the session:
✅ Investing in training saves costs — for example, reducing ramp time and lowering turnover by giving people tools to succeed early
✅ People in sales and recruiting need to understand the HOW, not just the WHY, to stay motivated and execute confidently
✅ Curiosity and confidence are essential — once your team learns the fundamentals, they need encouragement to make decisions and not fear mistakes
✅ Repetitive daily activities and consistent follow-ups truly correlate to long-term success
✅ Role plays are imperative! Practicing real scenarios builds muscle memory, reduces hesitation, and increases success rates 🎯
We’re grateful to Brad and the StrivePath team for such a powerful and energizing training experience. 👉 Want to learn more about StrivePath? Visit their LinkedIn page or check out their website!
Okayyy yes… we’re poking a little fun here 😅 — **but if you’ve ever battled the misconception that “ServiceNow is just a ticketing tool,” been buried under an avalanche of SNOW requests, or braced yourself for yet another update/release cycle… you probably felt these memes in your soul. ❄️😂
And if you did… you might be exactly who we’re looking for! We’re hiring for three mission‑critical ServiceNow roles in Bethesda (TS/SCI + Poly required):
• Senior ServiceNow Requirements Engineer — turn complex mission needs into clean, actionable requirements.
• Senior ServiceNow Test Engineer — validate workflows, apps, and automations so everything actually works the way people think it does.
• Senior ServiceNow Scrum Master — keep the chaos organized, velocity steady, and Agile ceremonies humming.
If you love SNOW but also love joking about SNOW … ✨ Come build cool things with us. ✨

This year’s Coastal Conservation Association Virginia Annual Fundraiser was another unforgettable experience for the Cornerstone Defense team. We love showing up for this event every year, and it’s always a powerful reminder of how much impact community‑driven conservation efforts can make.

CCA Virginia continues to lead meaningful work to protect our marine resources through sustainable fisheries, habitat restoration, and public education. If you’re interested, take a look at the work they’re doing at ccavirginia.org.
