What an incredible weekend! Our team was blessed to host the 2012 Fall Regional Leader's Conference at the DFW Marriott in Irving, TX. What a great turnout of over 400 team members who joined us to network, brainstorm and learn. We were able to have our HR Team, Corporate Trainers, Assistant Managers, and Managing Partners join us in Dallas. Evantage, Inc. President, Chris Auwarter hosted the event and we had 12 industry leaders speak to our team throughout the day.
One of the constant messages being shared was to keep developing yourself personally and professionally and to not wait till the New Year to start setting your "New Years Resolutions."
One lesson shared was a message from NBA legend Pat Riley..."There is a difference between Game Excellence and being Excellent in a Game." The point was made that anyone can be excellent at one time, but Game Excellence is consistent, day in, day out results. Great Message!
We were also able to recognize Top Leaders from across the region. These were a select few that over the past 6 months have shown excellence in their work, but also the respect of their piers and management for their work. Congratulations again to all those who were awarded a Top Leader Award! We are proud of that achievement and you should be too.
The highlight of the event though was a raffle we did for an iPad. The big winner though wasn't the winner of the iPad, but Operation Smile. We sold raffle tickets, 1 for $5 and 6 for $20. We were able to raise $1160 for Operation Smile in a 3 Hour Meeting. Great job to those who helped out!
