this week i had the pleasure of joining edelman colleagues from around the globe at the annual leadership academy in chicago. it was an intensive 4-days of learning, role-playing, knowledge sharing and getting to know more of the edel-family. the highlight for me was spending time with richard and dan edelman. it's taken almost 6 years but i finally got to tell both of them just how much this company means to me. how i truly believe this is the best company to work for and how blessed i am to be part of the edelman network of smart and inspiring people.
i was honored to receive an amazing education that i will definitely apply to my communications approach moving forward. part of that communications approach and education was learned through sharing food, music, dancing, stories and libations with my colleagues from argentina, india, england, italy, germany, sweden, japan, china, hong kong, brazil, spain, indonesia, australia, singapore, canada, amsterdam, france, dubai, belgium, ireland, russia, mexico and the u.s.
let me tell you the #1 key learning: regardless of where someone lives or what language they speak, everyone is hungry for good food (especially deep dish pizza from gino's east - YUM!). everyone craves movement and learning. everyone (almost everyone) enjoys music. we are all one unified people. i will always try to remember how interconnected we all are and that at our core we all have similar needs and cravings. i truly believe if we all took time to remember that there would be less hatred and more acceptance. amen.
