It was truly the most wonderful time of the year when the Borshoff team gathered together for our annual holiday party. Our hearts were glowing as we caroled in the snow. Okay, well maybe we didn’t carol in the snow, but we had a mean karaoke session inside.
After a year of hard work, we took an afternoon to celebrate with a staff lunch and get-together. To make our gathering even more festive, a party planning team came up with activities that would leave everyone in tears and rolling on the floor with laughter.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero, ancient Roman writer and scholar
At each staff meeting, we begin with a Creativity Exercise to get our brains going. Our latest exercise challenged us to develop a few sniglets. For those not familiar, a sniglet is any word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary, but should.
PowerPoint slides are frequently incorporated into presentations. When they’re executed well, they can increase your audience’s understanding of your message. But a poorly created PowerPoint presentation can be worse than not using visual aids at all – and can distract the audience from the intended message.
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly believe that the holidays are almost here! Amidst the chaos of the holiday shopping season it is so easy to think about what WE want…whether that is a designer handbag, home décor or a new car. (Wait—is that just me?)
…Time for our annual gallery show featuring the work of talented artists from the Herron School of Art + Design. We truly look forward to this event … as much as a child looks forward to Christmahanakwanzika! (And just as much care and planning go into making this a great event.)
I’m an unabashed map geek. There’s just something I really dig about planning a trip, spreading out maps, loading up Google Maps or Bing, and studying route and terrain. I think it’s because I like to go places. I like all the possibilities—the anticipation—of new sights, new experiences.
We are excited to welcome Charlie to the Borshoff team.
