Team TAG Begin Office Olympics

We might not have had an opening ceremony in London, England, but here in Culver City the captains have been chosen, the draft has been completed, and the games have begun!  Last Tuesday evening Team TAG's usual workout nights were replaced with the first round of our Team Night Olympics 2012 with an intense game of ping pong, or as it is officially called in the Olympics, Table Tennis!

Team Ashley, Mac, Stefanie, and Andrew battled it out on the ping pong tables at the Boys and Girls Club of Venice.  Team Mac won 1st place in the first round of Team Night Olympics, but the games continue tonight with Taboo!

Which team will come out victorious?!  Who will be crowned the winner of this season's Team Night Olympics?!

Team TAG pumped after National Conference in Atlanta

Team TAG attended their US National Conference held this year at the Hyatt in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. After flying in on Friday afternoon and enjoying the sights in the city, the team enjoyed networking mixers, motivational speakers, and educational workshops all weekend.

This year's general session speaker was wrestler Anthony Robles.  Despite being born with only one leg, Robles trained and persevered to win a NCAA championship during his senior year at Arizona State University.  The theme of his talk was "Unstoppable" and spoke about the various challenges he faced and how he overcame them.

In addition to speakers and workshops, the team took home some much deserved awards.  The admin team, Manilynn Disuanco and Ellesse Wong, took home Tiffany's jewelry for being in the top 10% in the nation.  Team TAG President, Jaime Hepp, accepted the Million Dollar Club Award on behalf of the ICL accruing over a million dollars in revenue last year.

Overall, the conference was a huge success as an opportunity to connect with fellow business professionals, enrich our selves and become even more pumped up to hit our goals for the rest of the year!

Hitting Goals = Free Team Nights!

The best office on the west side only deserves but the best Italian food from the west side!  Great job to the entire team for setting the pace in hitting and surpasing campaign retention goals week after week.

Here is the team enjoying some C&O Trattoria cuisine before our Taboo Throwdown for Team Night Olympics.  Everyone loved the food so much we had to order it again!

Chowing down on all the tasty Italian food.

One of the perks of the professional development offered: being able to attend leadership conferences. Some of our top leaders attended the LA 'Get Motivated' Business Seminar where Bill Cosby, Rudi Giuliani, and Joe Montana were a few of the key speakers... here's a pic.
