Awards, Recognition, and Networking: 2018 National Conference

DALLAS, TEXAS – This year some of the team members from Summit Consulting had the opportunity to travel and represent the company at the annual national conference. For two of the team members it was their first time traveling to the conference. They had the opportunity to learn from the best in the business and to see where they could be in years to come. The theme of the conference this year was to “Be So Good” so of course we asked CEO/ President, Jillian Seaton, why she thought “be so good” was the theme and we also asked the rest of the team for some of their highlights from the national conference.

Jillian told us she thought the theme was chosen this year based on the fact we represent some of the largest companies and in order to keep expanding and reaching new heights we have to “Be So Good” we can’t be ignored. This comes down to finding a way to win with integrity while getting results when nobody else can.

Our Human Resources Manager and Recruiter, Brittnee King, has only been with the company for a little over 3 months and said that some of the highlights for her first conference was being able to see the growth potential in all positions in the company, as well as, the way that she can positively impact those results. The breakout sessions Brittnee attended during the conference allowed her to get some coaching from some of the best in the business. She can’t wait to use some of this knowledge to help propel her career here at Summit Consulting. Brittnee is excited for the new mentors she was able to meet that will help her reach the goals she has set for the future.

Some of the Team Leads that were invited to the conference had some great feedback for us as well. Paul Tegen, first time attendee, said the conference gave him a more definitive vision for where he is headed and how to get there. His favorite quote from the conference was “When you set goals large enough, you gain the clarity of making the right decisions to help you get there.”

Chad King, the current Assistant Director, left us with the quote “Shed the Shame, learn from the past, and let your actions and attitude determine your future” when we asked about what he took away from the conference this year.

Overall this conference has set the tone for the next year in the office. We are excited to see who from Summit Consulting will be getting up on stage next year to collect some awards and bonus money. The only way to do that is to “Be So Good!”
