Reflections on GLS: Morgan
Morgan Pearce • September 6, 2019
Thanks for visiting the blog! This week, we’re sharing snapshots from our team as they reflect on our time at the Global Leadership Summit in August. Keep reading to hear from our intern, Morgan, about her first time at GLS.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first time at GLS, but I was immediately impressed by the scale of the event. I had no idea how large it would be, and I feel so grateful to have had this opportunity.
As a perfectionist, Craig Groeschel’s session really spoke to me. I was reminded that perfection is the enemy of progress, and I need to practice “bending the curve,” as Groeschel says.
I also really appreciated Liz Bohannon’s session and her concept of, “Dream small, not big.” Taking that to heart can launch you into creating and taking the baby steps necessary to get where you need to be.
Going forward, I’m eager to try “thinking inside the box” more (another tactic from Groeschel), and not trying to “overcook my time” as a perfectionist. I’m also looking forward to simply enjoying life’s ride of failures and successes. There’s something to learn from every experience, successful or not.
It was also wonderful to hear what people had to say about leadership from a Christian perspective at GLS, and I appreciated how people could come together from different backgrounds and still learn something from the speakers.

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!
Roux celebrates Mardi Gras 2024 and 10 years of good times, Louisiana roots, food, creativity and community.
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!
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.
Here at roux, we have a wonderful team of creatives supporting us, including photographers, videographers, writers, and designers.
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Kyle Sorvick, one of the talented graphic designers we work with as part of our extended croux.
Roux shares Christmas greetings from partners and friends, celebrating creativity, connection and the holiday season.
