This past week I was in Kansas City for a company wide retreat with my new marketing firm. One thing I don’t typically bring to my blog is my work life, which is intentional *smiles*. So to keep it brief on the work stuff; in short this retreat was an eye opener in a lot of ways. Which is good. So please enjoy my KC highlights!
KC Highlights:
- Hotel Sorella in the Plaza: I am a bit of a hotel snob, however, this place definitely did not give me much to complain about, or anything at all. It was modern and beautiful and had a great restaurant and rooftop pool area.
- The Guild: This is where we spent most of our time on the retreat and it’s a beautiful event space. If I lived in KC, I would probably want to get married here. The chandelier is a statement, not to mention the room is finished with black and white subway tiles with an open industrial feel. They also had an amazing outdoor space that had strung lights over the sky – it was perfect.
- Time With Coworkers: Since I was with most of these people for nearly 3-days straight, I first, got to meet a lot of people I’ve worked with for the last 3-months and second, I got to have some one-on-one chats with people when it’s normally all business. Working with people across multiple time zones in multiple countries and states as definitely been an adjustment so I truly appreciated the more personal time and chats to get to know my coworkers.
- Being A Part of Something Great: I am pretty sure I hit the jackpot with my new company and I am excited for the opportunities that I have and the future. Transitioning has been a bit harder than I thought so it was great to feel inspired and hopeful that this is truly something special.
Kansas City is a cool city and I hope one of these work trips I’ll be able to be a little bit more of a tourist and explore more parts of the city. All-in-all, it was a good trip, but it was great coming home to Moz and B and sleeping in my own bed. I’m feeling recharged and motivated for the start of this new week!
