My experience within the CEO Tradeshow was one to remember. Watching everyone put together their booths in the morning to come back in the evening and watch the Tradeshow come to life was amazing. At first, I was very nervous, but after I got used to people filing through the line I became more comfortable. It’s hard to believe that CEO is over now. I’m very thankful for all of my experiences within the CEO Program, and will continue to take forward with me the knowledge and tools I have gained throughout the year. I would like to thank all of our sponsors, investors, mentors, the Tradeshow Committee and the CEO Board for everything they do. Also, thank you to Jason for being the best facilitator we could ask for. This program is amazing, and I hope nothing but success as CEO continues to grow here in Logan County.

Monday we kicked the week off with an interesting team building activity known as the human knot.  Through the process, we had great communication, and we fought through an uncomfortable situation. Austin did a great job of taking over and leading us within the process. It was a relief to find the final step that completed the task! A few months ago, none of us would have been comfortable within that situation, but now that we have grown as a team, these challenges have become normal to us and we can work together better than before.

Wednesday, we met Kim Johnson and other Ardagh team members in Lincoln and took an awesome tour of Ardagh! Ardagh is a very successful and impressive glass company. The way they operate their business is very strategic, rhythmatic and impressive. I was blown away at how system-oriented the business is. Everything has to be precise, and if one thing goes wrong, everything else does as well! Lincoln is the number one plant out of all sixteen, and that comes as no surprise seeing how well they keep their workers motivated and driven!

Tuesday, we made a cold walk across the road to ME Reality, meeting with Seth Goodman who is also the mayor of Lincoln! During his presentation, I learned that being successful on your own is possible. Also, I learned that anything is possible. Seth gave us a lot about himself, but it was all inspiring information.

“The​ ​world​ ​judges​ ​you.” That was a quote from Mike Meador that stuck with me. No matter what, the world is going to judge you. So keep going. Push yourself to do what others may doubt.

Friday was a normal work day as usual. I’m very proud of the newsletters we write! From

our teasers, titles and even the different sections we write very well as a team and we always

put together something wonderful. This excites me in terms of the group business, because I

know we can do something amazing and unforgettable!
