CELEBRATION & EVENTS
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! October 2022 Standing Executive Leadership Council
This past October, Executive Directors and above gathered in Austin, Texas, for a Melaleuca event like no other. Early in the history of Melaleuca, Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot recognized the need to have open communication with the Marketing Executives—especially those who had achieved high statuses. He recognized that success hinges upon the Management Team understanding the Marketing Executives and Marketing Executives understanding the decisions of the Management Team. One solution was Standing Executive Leadership Council (Standing ELC)—a chance for management and leaders in the field to share ideas and get to know each other face-to-face. In those early Standing ELCs, Marketing Executives would write down questions, and then Frank and his team would stay up all night answering those questions and presenting the answers on the following days. While the meetings have grown too large to accommodate that practice, Standing ELC is still about Marketing Executives interacting and developing friendships with each other and Melaleuca’s Executive Team. And the topics of discussion and training are still based on feedback from the field. It’s a unique opportunity where everyone gets a chance to learn from each other and create bonds that will last for decades. A dominant theme throughout this year’s Standing ELC was that Melaleuca is a business made exactly for times like these. In a world filled with economic uncertainty and unprecedented health concerns, Melaleuca offers products and a business opportunity that more people than ever are looking for. Attendees were able to hear about the state of the business directly from Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot, CEO Jerry Felton, President Cole Clinger, Senior Vice President of Sales Darrin Johnson, Senior Vice President of Business Development Kevin Sommer, and CMO Isaac Bottelberghe.
For leaders in attendance, it was a life-changing opportunity to rub shoulders with their peers and gain new insights while sharing their hard-won experiences. They walked away with increased understanding, sharper focus, and a few new friends.
