It Just Feels Good

One of my assignments is to manage the "Facilities" activities for Agel. I coordinate with contractors and electricians, property management groups and others to make sure everything works well and the employees have a comfortable work place to do their job. One of our current projects is working with Noah and Wendy of the marketing team to brand the corporate office. This means when visitors come to visit Agel, once they step off the elevator they know they are at Agel's corporate office. Our Marketing Team is very creative with their ideas and it takes some of us a little bit of effort to warm up to that level of creativity. One of my partners that I work with is Brent Jensen - he is an executive and the liaison between me and the executive board. We were chatting in his office one day and he described the hundreds of meetings he has had with VIP's and other Team members who have all had the same comment. When they enter into our old lobby at Provo's River Woods Corporate office, "it just felt good." Our lobby at that office was not anything to brag about, however, this was telling of the great spirit that resides among Agel's corporate office. Our executive team does have a great spirit about them. Their genuines and sweet spirit permeates the office whether it looks good or not. I'm excited to redefine Agel's corporate brand and image and love the direction Marketing is going - but even if we move only a partial way to where they want our brand to be, the great spirit will still be a telling brand of Agel no matter what our lobby looks like.
