Weekend Warrior: Let the Games Begin
Amassing brain power in Louisville this weekend, a dozen of corecubed’s home care agency partners who are members of our prestigious, dynamic marketing program targeted to home care are coming to town to do an all day workshop on business practices and marketing. This is a first ever for us to harness the power of the geographic exclusivity in this program, and use the members to learn from each other and to work together on best practices.
Louisville will serve as a great host city for this event, with participants staying at 21C Museum Hotel (voted #1 hotel in America by Conde Nast) in 2009. Dinner at the renowned Mayan Café on Friday night after a personal demonstration by Centre College graduate and artist Brook White at Flame Run Glass Studio and Gallery. Working all day Saturday on specific pre-identified issues, the group will relax at the Orsini-Heath home before reconvening on Sunday morning for a wrap up and takeaway task session.
There are so many benefits to being in the MOST program, but one of the soft ones is the knowledge gained by sharing successes and failures and working together to make home care in America the quality service that it needs to be. Plus we love getting to show Louisville off, and to bask in the glow of mutually beneficial relationships as we all grow and mature in our businesses.
Character and Responsibility Determine Success
This statement, which is has inherent in it an acronym for CARDS is one of the messages that Coach Charlie Strong, U of L’s new football coach brought to a luncheon speech at the downtown Louisville Rotary Club yesterday. He uses lots of ways to motivate and inspire his new team. Character and Responsibility Determine Success is just one of those.
Ranked last in the conference, Coach Strong is undaunted about his new team’s capabilities. He has put together a great coaching staff, covering all the bases, and he has put effort into recruitment snaring 4 out of the top 5 graduating high school football players in Louisville. So, for a man who is used to being ranked first, he just sees this as one hurdle that he can easily get over, and over which he has some control.
And he is focusing on education. 39 of the team’s players made over a 3.0 this last semester after some strict rules went into place about class attendance and grades equating to playing on this soon to be memorable team.
Enthusiasm, focus, dedication and drive seem to be components that Coach Strong brings with him. What a pleasure it is to experience positive and uplifting moments and to hear good news about predictions for the future. Coach Strong got two standing ovations from the mostly business crowd, and if he is as successful on the field as he is in front of an audience, then watch out Big East as those CARDS are coming back.
