Q&A With Lee

Q: What’s something many don’t know about you?

I’ve always had an interest in the sport of bodybuilding, and there was a time in my life when I thought I was going to be competing and training as such. I was working out twice a day, consuming over 4,000 calories daily, and meeting with a professional trainer to practice posing. While this ultimately did not come to fruition, I still take an active interest in the sport and train with the bodybuilding methodology in mind and a focus on aesthetics. 

Q: What is your go-to coffee or tea order?

If I’m drinking tea, I like a simple Green Tea with Honey. For coffee, I’m fairly boring and usually just drink it black, but I always love a good iced coffee, even in the winter! 

Q: What is your go to karaoke song? 

None. While I do love shows like The Voice, I am the furthest thing from a singer. That said, I will consistently, and shamelessly be one of the first people on the dance floor at social events. While I am not technically trained in dancing by any means, I love to let loose and leave it all out there! I rarely say no to dancing to, “Yeah” by Usher or the Cupid Shuffle.
Q: What is your go to comfort T.V. show that you could watch a million times and never get bored?

Parks and Rec. or Entourage. Two different ends of the spectrum there, but both are great in their own regard! 

Q: What is your favorite eGuide core value?

My favorite eGuide value is “Learn and Teach”. This is a great reflection of how we work to help our partners, we simultaneously learn about our partners’ businesses while teaching them how we operate at eGuide, and vice versa. I love how we take a people first approach, and really connect with each of our partners through learning and teaching. 

Q: What is your favorite partner story?

I am new to the team, so I don’t have a ton of stories just yet. That said, I’ve really enjoyed working with Rockit Events, and building out the framework for a new project management tool. Since I have a legacy background in Corporate Hospitality & Events, I can really relate to their business and help implement a platform that I wish I had when working in Event Management! 

Q: Best eGuide memory so far?

Just officially joining the company and getting to know the team! That said, I’m sure there will be many more memories to come, and this section of the website will be updated later on :)
