As Heather put it: "my heart is full". It's the perfect description for how I feel following the annual team summit. It's weeks like these that make me long for the days when I worked in the office....but then I remember all the perks of working from home. The annual summit is the opportunity, once a year, for all of us to come together for a week of learning and team building. This year was the biggest summit yet and dare I say, the best? It was so well organized, interesting and entertaining content, and the entertainment! Best of all though, I think we would all agree, was the bonding.
So many delightful conversations with so many wonderful people. The laughter was contagious and plentiful. It's unbelievable really that I truly like and respect everyone on my team and even more unbelievable that we all seem to feel this way about each other! This year, instead of staying in the (oh so hip) Aloft, we stayed in the suites. First of all, these places are gorgeous. Second of all, we had suite mates and instead of having to meet in the hotel bar, we could invite people over to our suite. Fun! My roomie and I have a common affliction, namely FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. We are always the last to leave a party, the last to admit defeat. This meant we stayed up way too late talking each night. It was wonderful.
This year's event was a showstopper. I didn't think we could top the party bus....I loved the Escape Room, but Karaoke and a custom version of Friends in Low Places really takes the cake. There were quite a few highlights, but there is one in particular that stands out in my mind and will forever transport me to the good feelings of the summit. It was Heather's rendition of Billionaire. She was standing up there singing in her sweet voice...she absolutely nailed the Travie McCoy verses....and the audience ate it up. We were seeing a whole new side of Heather and we were loving it. Best night.
