I just got a media request to share my company song.
My company song is
"Gonna Fly Now" - Rocky
Music by Bill Conti and Carol Connors
Lyric by Ayn Robbins
For over 30 years this has been our company song. I a consultant, professional speaker
and author and the song has motivated me and my staff to celebrate every accomplishment and
keep working hard through tough times. I absolutely love what I do and my work
itself often feels like flying. I started the company in 1982. I was
working on my graduate degree full time, teaching at Florida State had two other jobs. At the beginnings did
some of my speeches for $10 dollars and hour! I was so excited to get my first
speech for $500 dollars that when I got off the call about it I jumped up out
of my chair, put my hands in the air like Rocky in the movie and started
singing the trumpet portion of the song as I danced. All these years later I
still do a hands in the air rocky dance when we get a booking/contract,
spokesperson job, and or a big check and or when I have a big media interview.
My staff joins in if we are in the office together. Sometimes we say over the
phone or in emails we send to each other announcing a success “Rocky
Dance!” “Gonna Fly now” still motivated me. I am looking up now to the
big year calendars on the wall above our desks in the office with stickers for
each booking, and each one got a rocky dance!
