GLS 2018 Coming Soon!

roux LLC • Apr 17, 2018

The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) is scheduled for August 9-10, 2018 and we at roux are looking forward to our annual retreat. Held in Chicago, IL and broadcast all over the world in approximately 600 satellite locations, GLS shows leaders of all types of organizations how to apply Christian principles in business situations. This year they expect nearly 450,000 people to participate.


It is so important to us at roux that we close up shop (checking in with clients on anything pressing) and spend two days together learning, comparing notes and gathering all kinds of new ideas to try, blogs to follow, videos to watch, and books to read. We’ve hosted clients at the summit and always encourage them to either go with us to the host location Church of the City in Franklin, TN or to attend at another site of their choosing.


Last year I was very moved by the message from Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook. I also read her book, Option B, which is the true story of keeping her life, her family and her company going and thriving after the sudden death of her husband.  This year I can’t wait to hear what Denzel Washington and Simon Sinek among many other gifted professionals have to share with us.


The onsite session in Chicago is sold out but there is plenty availability in the satellite locations. Please plan to join us in Franklin or participate at a location convenient to you.

We’re back with another creative croux feature. Normally, these pieces are put together by one of our freelance writers, Annie Van Essen, but this time, we’re spotlighting her!

We celebrated our 10-year anniversary in July 2023, making this our tenth Mardi Gras as a krewe. We are so thankful for the many projects, partnerships, clients and friends who have been a part of our journey so far. The essence of Mardi Gras can be summed up in one lighthearted phrase, “ Laissez les bons temps rouler!” — French, for “Let the good times roll!” We’ve had a lot of good times here at roux over the last decade, and we’re excited for them to keep on rollin’. Bon Mardi Gras and merci beaucoup, friends!

Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.

This year, we decided to take our merry-making to the streets of Nashville to see how well the average passerby could interpret some of our favorite Creole vocab. The results were… entertaining. See for yourself!
Favorite Super Bowl Commercials 2023
By roux LLC 13 Feb, 2023
Every year, our croux puts together a roundup of our favorite Super Bowl commercials. This time around, we thought we’d switch it up and ask for submissions of our team’s favorite commercials EVER. Whether from 2023 or 2003, we want to celebrate the advertising magic of Super Bowl Sunday.

We all look forward to receiving Christmas greetings from friends and loved ones, whether it’s a social media post or a physical card to display in our house or hang on the fridge. But when it comes to company Christmas cards, corporate greetings can sometimes fall a bit flat. We love when a company spices things up and sends a message that’s genuine and fun. Videos can also be a more effective and affordable option for a company, when you consider the reach made possible with email and social media, and the savings on printing and postage. Averitt and JetRight are two local companies that knock it out of the park every year when it comes to their video Christmas cards. Whether they choose to be lighthearted and silly or share a heartwarming message, watching their videos shows you the real people and spirit behind the companies. Check them out below!
