Preview: Global Leadership Summit 2019

Stefan Speligene • Aug 06, 2019
This week, our croux is excited to be attending the 2019 Global Leadership Summit (GLS). 

I first attended this event at my church about ten years ago, and since then, we’ve made it a company-wide tradition. In fact, roux has been around for seven years and we haven’t missed GLS once.

GLS is hosted by the Global Leadership Network, a Christian organization dedicated to building community and supporting ministry and leadership development.

This year, the summit runs from August 8-9, and while the main event takes place in Chicago, it’s streamed across the nation at over 500 host sites.

The main benefit is really taking time out and showing our team and our clients that it’s important to continuously learn and grow.


GLS features a wide array of speakers who are able to inspire in all areas, from work to leadership to personal growth.


Our hope is always that each of us grow individually as well. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that we’re not being stagnant and continue to improve ourselves.


This year’s speakers include Craig Groeschel, Bozoma St. John, Bear Grylls, Patrick Lencioni, and many more.*


* For a full list of speakers, visit GLS’ website, and select the “Faculty” tab.


Some speakers are more well known than others, but our team is always eager to learn from new voices. Typically, you get there and within the first few minutes you’re hooked. Our mindset going in is to make sure we’re always open-minded and receptive to new speakers and new ideas.


Here at roux, we deeply value growth, both personally and professionally. Over the years, we’ve been continually encouraged by our experiences at GLS, and it has proved a positive, powerful tool for both our team and our clients. 


While we will be available to clients during the conference, response times may be a bit longer than normal. We are blessed to work with clients who understand and appreciate our commitment to growth and development as a team.


Keep an eye on the blog for a recap of our time at GLS in the coming weeks.

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

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!
