Every year, the entire staff at the AT&T Performing Arts Center gathers for one day to focus exclusively on the company's "Core Values." They are (in no particular order) Customer Service, Flexibility, Achievement, Community, and Passion.
Not a bad lot as far as values go.
And, as anyone who's hired the consultant will tell you, these ideas are not aspirational - they are values that are embedded into the life-blood of the organization and its staff. They were identified by examining what we already do.
It's nice to know that we were always motivated this way... even before we cut the check to the consultant.
I didn't believe it at first, but (and I'm sure I'm not alone) these are all notions that drive my daily interactions, my decision making, my goals, my life. Lucky me that I ended up working for a place that shared my philosophy.
And on days like today, we place our practice at the forefront and celebrate it. It gives us all a chance to let our hair down and pat ourselves on the back and play a little.
My buddy Alex Hargis captured a video of how our technicians play... and I gotta say, I can't imagine a more apropos way to sum it all up.
How often have you asked yourself what you value? And how do you celebrate it?
Enjoy the "Moody Chandelier" like you've never seen it before, and will likely never see it in person should you visit the Center.

My job = bad ass. What a way to kick off #Centergy2015 at AT&T Performing Arts Center.
