AND WHY I'M SO PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THE STAMPIN' UP! FAMILY
As I've been saying, I've just returned from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Training in San Antonio TX. It was a marvelous experience. Not only was it just a fantastic time, seeing old friends, renewing friendships, creating new friendships, and mingling with the Stampin' Up! staff, it was just another reminder as to just why I'm a part of this fabulous SU! family! What other company is going to present its past year's financial report in Mr. Nielsen's (aka Roger's) Neighborhood, using an MDS scrapbook for the documentation, closing with our CFO dancing as if he was on Dancing with the Stars?
"Mr. Nielsen", changing from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. And yes, on the way in the door and while changing his sweater, he DID sing the Mr. Roger's song. HIS WAY!
Scott Nielsen, SU! Chief Financial Officer, setting the stage for his report with Demos Karen Duke from Canada and a younger demo from ??
Oh Look! It's Mr. Speedy with a special delivery! (Actually it's Spencer Willis, SU! employee and "ham"!)
The My Digital Studio report has arrived, thanks to Mr. Speedy.
Did you notice the gray/white stripes on the cover? Well flip the book over and you'll see the Yankees logo. Scott played with the Yankees !
Played with the Yankees from 1986-89.
He even goes down to the 'pick line' to pack our Stampin' Up! orders.
The newly introduced Simply Scored Scoring Tool has been a very big seller!
Remember that younger demonstrator, sitting on Scott's left? Well, as everyone was about the leave Mr. Nielsen's stage neighborhood, she pulled off her conservative-but-stylish sweater to reveal her dancing costume, stating she was going to finish off the report HER WAY. And away they danced. FABULOUS!!!!!!
So again I must ask: what company will give a CFO enough 'space' to totally engage the audience with the (usually boring and dry) annual financial report? We were on the edges of our seats throughout!
In addition to Scott's entertaining presentation, we were also presented, throughout the 2 full days of Leadership Training plus 1 day of a Regional Seminar, with A BUNCH of surprise gifts:
