He is a step closer to our Assistant Director position and much bigger and better things are coming our way! We are proud of our teams dynamic of coming together to make this promotion happen. 

Mr. Workman first stepped into the doors of Modern Marketing Detroit on July 30, 2015 and in just only 7 months here, he has already gotten promoted twice. Mr. Workman went to Central Michigan University majoring in Bachelor of Science in Business as well as continuing his education for his Masters at Ashford University.

Executive Promotion

Congrats to Kristi Suggs on being the newest Executive to be part of the Modern Marketing Detroit team! Mrs. Suggs has definitely proven herself of being known as a go-getter since the beginning when she first walked into our doors. Her background of serving and managing restaurants since 2007 has built her work ethic to become the next top executive within our company. When asked why she wanted to leave the restaurant business and go into consulting, her objective: “To enhance my professional skills in a dynamic and stable workplace. Allowing me to solve problems in a effective and creative manner in a challenging position.”

Who is Mr. Kyle Redwine?

It's great to be able to have business partners who you enjoy the company of. Each member of the office definitely have their own unique characteristics and personality. It is always a joy to have everyone just hanging out and creating memories. For Mr. Kyle Redwine though, he is definitely a character who always brings the laughter and jokes to all of the gatherings and networking events. The reason Modern Marketing is shedding a spotlight on Kyle Redwine today is because he has proven himself to definitely be an asset to this company and organization. We all know he will go far not just in this business but also his future endeavors. 

So, Who is Mr. Redwine? Let's get to know this gentlemen.

One of our Director Dustin favorite traits about Kyle is that he's a golfer, golfing is something they both enjoy and sometime obsess over. Kyle was also a golf caddy for a year in 2008.Mr. Redwine is the typical sport minded gentlemen like majority of the guys here at Modern. So in high school, Kyle played football, soccer, and did track. Once he started college, Kyle focused and transitioned to just doing track. Which make sense that he focused his time in track since he won 1st place at the States Championship in the 100m and 200m dash. Mr. Redwine was also named 'Outstanding Athlete of the Meet.' Aside from his personal achievements, Mr. Redwine has inspired others to enjoy what life has to bring and the little memorable moments.

Upcoming Executives!

One of the most difficult parts of reaching your goals or making positive change is pushing through discomfort. This is where a a lot of people give up - when the process inspires all kinds of challenging feelings. If you've quit your day job to pursue your passion and after six months you need to sell your car to keep going, a cubicle may appeal to you for the need of security. But maybe your will is strong enough to clear any emotional hurdles, but odds are that you have a voice inside your head saying "Go back. It's too hard. It's not worth it." Every one needs to remember that when your emotions get louder, challenge them with more emotions because that is exactly what all of our executives did and are continuing to do. Especially Micah Shaw, Morgan Couvillion, Kyle Redwine, and Ray Mallebay. These four executives pushed through the pain to build their success and we are waiting to see more growth that has to come with them being a part of our organization.

At the Golfing Range

On Thursday evening, the office decided to go to the golf range right by our 

office to get some relaxing time in and the chance to enjoy some time with each other. 

The whole office works so hard that it is always good to just be able to take off our 

suit & tie and take some swings. Some of the guys would love to be on the 

golf course all day and every day, while some of us would just 

love to be some what decent. We are always looking for new ideas of things to do. 

So what are some of your favorite hobbies? We would love to get some suggestions. 

Comment below.

Are you a procrastinator?

Take the procrastination test and discover what king of procrastinator you may be!

Procrastination is the act of putting an essential task off to be completed at a later time. Most of the time, tasks that are not as important as others are to be done and completed more than critical ones. It may be one of the biggest challenges that anyone will have to overcome. We all feel like there is not enough time in a day to complete our list of tasks that are needed to be completed. 

There are many reasons for one person to procrastinate, maybe because we don't enjoy doing it or we just believe that we are not capable of completing the task. Whatever reason it may be, the sooner we figure it out, the better our situation will be. If we do not break out procrastination habits, it can have serious consequences.

So lets all take the procrastination test and figure out what kind of procrastinator we may be and learn how to improve it. Link provided below; so lets take the challenge!

Here are some ways to help anyone who wants to get promoted from a position they are currently in :

Surround yourself with people who challenges you.

Don't expect or want the need to get praised, get criticized with information on how to improve your work to get better.

'No Drama' - Those in the office should not effect your working capabilities.

Enjoy what you are doing, so just simply SMILE.

Take notes in order to learn from others and the speakers.

Never skip an office party, because a strong office relationship will create a great and strong dynamic.

Ask for help if needed.

Have a solution when things are not working out.

Know your job & just do it.

Colin Meister Promotion

Congratulations to Colin Meister on his promotion!

Modern is excited to announce another promotion to the team! Mr. Meister started here just weeks ago and now he is already earning his ETT title in our company. Colin got the chance to go on a business trip last week with a couple of the other executives at Modern and learned a lot of new knowledge to help him with his entrepreneur mindset. Colin's mindset is very sport-like so he knew that there was no stopping him and he was going to go all the way with more promotions to come. He has definitely brought a new excitement to our office and we are extremely excited to see the new ideas he has to bring.

Prencis Chism Promotion!

Congratulations are in order to Prencis Chism on her wonderful promotion. 

The one thing that has really helped Prencis Chism get her to her promotion was thinking positively. With a positive attitude, we experience more of a pleasant feeling that brings energy, brightness, and happiness to our eyes as well as success. So Prencis definitely shined through her days since she started just weeks ago. Positive thinking is contagious and Prencis has definitely brought her energy into our office by affecting the people who she would meet in one way or another. For her, it happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through words, thoughts and feelings, and through body language. 

We are all so proud of you!

Congrats Rachel Valice!

We are ecstatic to announce Rachel’s promotion. She started less than a couple of weeks ago and now she is already promoted to an Executive Trainer.

Rachel grew up in the Macomb County and is a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University in April of 2015.

How to Stay Motivated

Each one of us has motivation, some things that spark our motivation are similar and some are not. But each of us tends to lose sight of what our goals are when things become foggy. So here are some tips and suggestion to live by in order to never lose sight of what you desire.

1.  Set goals and visualize them to the detail

You should know what you are achieving in order to have a purpose and set up ways to get there.

2.  List reasons why you are accomplishing the goals for

Connect yourself mentally and emotionally. Everyone has a why behind what they are doing.

3.  Have strategy

Work smarter not harder.

4. Get help

Reach out to others for help, we all need someone.

5. Have fun

Make things fun and enjoy the moments with fun stories to 
share once your goal is hit.                

Daniel B. promoted to an ETT!

Daniel, also known as “Damn Skippy Dan” by the office, started on April 27, 2015 and just weeks later, he is celebrating his first of many promotions to come. When Dan first came into our office, he told us that he wanted to do something with his life because he “wanted to do things people wouldn’t be able to do.” It’s amazing how dedication and drive works. When one’s mind is set to complete a mission with their all, it will be completed. Today, we get to announce our newest promotion to the Executive Trainer position.  The best part about it was that he made it seem so effortless and it was definitely not a surprised when one of his goals was reached.

Modern LLC is excited to see what’s to come with this young man in this upcoming year.

Office Night 4.30.2015

Pictured from Left to Right: Director – Dustin W., ETT – Daumauria M., 

AE – Avery M., [our ETT Neika’s daughter], ETT – Cody D., Director – Rob H.

Yesterday we got the chance to network with a couple of the directors who came up for their Directors Refreshers this week and it was also our weekly family time also known as office night. The office ended up going to our Director Dustin’s place for a small cook out with some brats and burgers, to have a cupcake or two, watch the draft, and to play a game. The room was filled with throwback stories, laughter, and great energy for a memorable night.

We got the chance to kick off the month of May by celebrating a bonus, a promotion, and many birthdays. Daumauria, Avery, Neika’s daughter, and Cody all enjoyed their birthday month kick off and their chocolate cupcake. D had more than just his birthday on his mind; he was extremely excited about his promotion. D is currently our newest Executive Team Trainer here at Modern; that’s definitely not a bad birthday present. We also got the chance to get some coaching advice from Rob who runs one of the top organizations in our company, so we would say that Thursday wasn't a bad day at all this week at the office.
