Ok ok. The music doesn’t fit the photo. Let me explain. It was my honor and privilege to serve the passionate, gritty, and driven (and very patriotic) members of Filevine at their Revenue Kickoff-Off event in Salt Lake City, Utah, by speaking to them about the power of organizational culture. I walked to the stage with that intro music. Felt like a UFC prize fighter…bucket list ✅
They made it exceptionally easier on this old soldier to share some very difficult and heavy stories; they were so engaged, thoughtful, and grateful. I can only imagine they provide nothing short of the same level of care to their customers and partners.
I would like to give a special thanks to Ben Aird and Sean Dowdle for the opportunity to serve a great company. I look forward to continuing to build a great relationship with FileVine. Thank you Brandi S. and your team for the expert coordination and support behind the scenes.
Team FileVine, remember that organizational culture can and should be transcendent. It is not tied to personality, ego, popularity, or production numbers. It just is, and it needs all of you.
Your Culture is your competitive advantage.
Every person, every action, every moment matters.
No one is above or below any task.
Everyone jumps…everyone lands.
Never walk by garbage. Michael Garrett
Take care of your “122 souls”.
Be biased towards action in times of adversity.
Never discount the value you bring to an organization.
