Office Relationships 101

At Summit Consulting (Glen Burnie, MD) our coworkers are our like a second family! We stress the importance of camaraderie here because we believe that the fastest (and most enjoyable) way to achieve our goals is to do so together.

Being part of the Summit Consulting team means that not a day goes by without being challenged. We’re always in the friendly competitive spirit, and we push each other to do our best every day. Whether it’s a pep talk from a coworker, the threat of a pie in the face (yes we really do that to each other sometimes, and it’s amazing!), or just a high five for a job well done, we are on a mission to help each other get to the next level.

So, what’s our best tip for creating the same dynamic in your own office? It’s spending time together before and after work. Yes, you can build a relationship within normal working hours, but the strongest bonds are built over breakfast or a beer. Check out our Instagram to see how the Summit Consulting team bonds!

Get to Know Summit Consulting’s President and Our Valued Employees

It’s another busy work week over here at Summit Consulting, so we thought we’d get to know a few of our wonderful colleagues and find out a bit about the college experience that got them to where they are today.

First, we’d like to introduce Summit Consulting’s President,

Jillian Shutt.

Q: What University did you attend?

A: Rider University

Q: Tell us about your favorite college activity and why you enjoyed it so much.

A:  A favorite memory was being part of the cross country and track and field team. Both the men and women won our conference championship my senior year. It was a great way to end my time at Rider.

Next, we have David Lee Michaels, another valued Summit Consulting employee –

Q: What University did you attend?

A: Eastern Michigan University

Q: What was a club or organization that had a meaningful impact on your college experience?

A: I got involved in student government. I learned the benefits of networking and the fulfillment of community involvement. It was a great opportunity for me to gain social skills and learn the value of a perspective that has proved helpful both on and off the clock.

And now we’ll hear from another valued Summit Consulting Employee, Chad King.

Q: What University did you attend?

A: North Carolina A&T State University.

Q: What were some interesting events that took place on your college campus?

A: Homecoming on our campus is very exciting and well known. It is a week long event that is filled with fun festivities.

We are so glad to have all of these invaluable individuals involved in Summit Consulting. It is wonderful to see how each of their different college experiences translated into the exemplary team members they are today at Summit Consulting.

Meet Dalton, our Leader of the Week!

If you’re looking for a riveting conversation to ease your day at work, Dalton is an easy going, down-to-earth employee of Summit Consulting that can spark up great conversations and get you pumped for the day! Dalton believes it takes one person to make someone’s day. Inspired by positive people, he strives to make others feel the equivocal positivity energy that he projects on a daily basis. His light-hearted personality is showcased when asked what song he would perform if he was a contender on “The Voice.” He told us, “Definitely ‘Piano Man’ by Billy Joel.  The song has a good story and is a great opportunity to showcase my ‘beautiful’ baritone voice.” 

In addition to Dalton’s ability to facilitate fun in the Summit Consulting work environment, he also has well-grounded ethics that make him successful. His student mentality helps him succeed in his career and generally in life as a whole. He expressed, “You never know what you don’t know and anybody can teach you that.” Dalton actively searches for information that could help in progress as an employee, so he may one day reach his long-term goal of managing his own office.

Dalton goes by his personal philosophy that, “If you’re going to do it, you might as well do it big.” He understands that he gets paid for working hard and that he should always perform his best.

To conclude his interview, we dug deeper into his personal beliefs by asking what he thinks is the best and worst thing about humanity:

“The best is when people work together to create something greater than themselves.  The worst is the ignorance and arrogance of people thinking that they are better than others when in reality no one person’s life is greater than another person’s.  We need to all humble ourselves and realize we’re all in this together.”  – Dalton

That says it all – Summit Consulting employees work together to establish high productivity as a group at the end of each workday, best articulated by Dalton, our Leader of the Week!
