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.


2023's winner is Sarah Van Lieshout. Sarah started with LPi almost two years prior, serving 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 2023's award were ad graphic designer Amanda Carroll, and Salesforce admin Eleanor Polat. Honorable mentions included employees Mark Daniel, Colleen Feldner, Kristee Flynn, Dave Larsen, Becky Marszal, Karen Mueller, and Teresa Perkins.


Congratulations to everyone mentioned!
