Celebrating The Other Members of Our Pack

 Where would we be without our animal companions! Whether returning to a room after a quick trip to the kitchen or returning home from a long day away, they're always happy to see us!  Bottom line, our pets just make everything better.   So we wanted to take a moment to introduce you to some of our fabulous furry friends:


Robert Colvin, Chief Operating Officer, and Chip

Courtnie Hicks, Director of Account Management, and Sheba, a Great Dane Pitbull mix; Harlow, a Shih Tzu Terrier; and Bella, a Chiweenie

Shawn Woodrich, Senior Housing Manager, named this white beauty above, Cooper, because the night she brought her home, she immediately jumped on the bed and wouldn't stop watching Anderson Cooper on TV.  Nightmare, below, belongs to Shawn's daughter.  "She's actually the sweetest cat, so the name does not fit her," laughs Shawn

Staying Strong On the Sidelines: Physical & Mental Fitness Tips For Meetings/Events Industry Members

Image
By Jonathan Misiewicz, Vice President of National Accounts, Connections Housing Let’s face it, we’re all used to working in a very fast-paced environment. Now, in place of daily deadlines, back-to-back meetings, overflowing email boxes and a seemingly insurmountable to-do list, our industry has been sidelined by coronavirus and the uncertainty in its wake.   A temporary set-back to be sure, but it’s left us all waiting - biding our time while looking for signs that business is returning.     Mindset Management The key thing to remember is that this return is out of our control.   We should turn our focus, instead, to what we can control.   Use this down time wisely --   zeroing in on those mental and physical aspects of our lives that took a back seat while we were always on the go --   and working   to strengthen them so that we are ready and at the top of our game when the time comes to get back to work at full throttle.
