This past month the
management team at Capstone Consultants had the opportunity to meet up with
best and brightest of our organization in Atlanta, Georgia. Friday kicked
off with a casual buffet and cocktail hour. It was wonderful to meet so
many new friends, get acquainted with some old ones, and relax with
some great ones. On Saturday we had the chance to see who had made the biggest
splash in our organization for 2012. It was inspiring to see so many
people in our company rewarded for all of their hard work throughout the year
with bonus checks up to $90,000, a sleek black BMW convertible, and last
but not least, three upper management promotions. Listening to
the stories leading up to their success only verified that we have
an incredible network of people around us. One thing all three had in
common during their speech was the gratitude to each individual they work with
who were able to elevate them to success. It drove home what we practice every
day, that it takes a team to raise a leader, Another, was the internal drive
and motivation seen in each person standing on stage finally being rewarded and
recognized in front of a hall of 800 people. From there, we broke out
into groups to attend various stations to gain advice from some of the best in
the business. The afternoon went by in a whirl along with pages and pages of
notes. Finally, we retreated to our rooms early in the evening shaking
the cramps out of our hands and prepared for the formal cocktail hour and sit
down dinner. Everyone looked radiant and no one would guess the long day
we just endured. The finale to our retreat was the speech give by one of the best in our business. He was captivating, inspirational, and
funny. The message we took away from his speech was one of drive,
resilience, and sheer hard work. Keys to Success proved to be everything we hoped
for. We said 2013 was going to be our year and so far, we are right on track to
be on stage getting rewarded and recognized for doing what we love and are
passionate about.
