Here at K2 Consultants we have a ‘work hard, play hard’
mentality, which is why our management team takes a long weekend once every
year to enjoy a Rest & Relaxation conference in a tropical locale. The term ‘conference’ is used lightly as
there is more R&R than work done during these annual trips.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last year our management team enjoyed traveling to sunny
Phoenix, Arizona while this year our event planners have managed to snag a trip
to the world class Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. We are very excited to get the chance to
enjoy such attractions as swimming with dolphins, gambling in the Atlantis
casino, enjoying the underwater slides in the Water Park, and restaurants with views
of sea life including aquariums housing sharks and a variety of tropical fish. More importantly our management team will be
taking time during this trip to network with other professionals in the
Consulting field as well as to build stronger working relationships among
themselves. We feel that building strong
relationships is the basis for a successful business and that building strong
business relationships is often more effective when having a good time. So this fall we will be enjoying the Bahamas,
where will you be?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">It is Movember time at K2
Consultants!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is Movember you
ask?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the time when men put their
razors down, let their facial hair grow, and girlfriends everywhere ask, “Why?!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To answer the why’s, Movember, also known as
“No Shave November”, is all about raising awareness about men’s health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes awareness about prostate and
testicular cancer, as well as mental health awareness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many reasons for the low quality of
men’s health ranging from men not wanting to talk about it to lack of awareness
about the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Instead of throwing scary facts
about men’s health at people to motivate them, Movember puts a fun twist to it.
That twist is the Mustache, also known as “The Mo.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those at K2 Consultants participating in
Movember will grow a mustache for 30 days starting November 1<sup>st</sup>
where they will trim and groom their “Mo’s” for the entire month!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

participate too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The “Mo Sisters” at K2
Consultants are helping by getting the men in their lives involved in Movember,
making them aware of the problems with men’s health, and getting men to talk
about their own health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also might
rock their own mustache!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So get ready! K2 Consultants will be
getting their “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sisters” together this month to participate in
Movember and raise awareness about men’s health! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Recently K2 consultants
held their first ever "Stashe Bash" in order to raise money for men's
health. Chicago Sam’s in Cromwell was kind enough to host the event while the
music was provided by the resident DJ who goes by the name of Devon
"Noved" Marino. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Many great
mustaches and beards of all styles were present, including a more unique type
of mustache called "the monkey tail" donned by none other than K2s
own, Derek Chard. The night was spent with good tunes and the more than willing
donations from the sleuth of patrons who packed the normally spacious venue. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Through the
purchase of raffle tickets, the fundraiser was a huge success, raising $520
towards a noble cause, half of which went to the winner of the raffle who
happened to be K2s own, Aicha Diaby. But yet another plot twist has surfaced
itself! In an act of good faith, Aicha returned the money to the donation
envelope, seeing it as an opportunity to further men's health above her own
pocket, good job Aicha! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The night was a
great success, not only was a good amount of money raised but much fun was had
as well. Games of darts and pool were had in addition to mountains of buffalo
drenched wings. Until next year!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

To celebrate their success Kylah Allen the President of the company decided to treat her office to a paintball battle on the terrain of Extreme Paintball in Waterbury, CT.</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The terrain included large wooded and lakeside arenas as well as more compact areas ideal for hiding out and sniping your opponents. The group received their own private arena where they battled in three different styled games; capture the flag, center flag and elimination. K2 carried their competitive nature onto the course and enjoyed hours of game-play full of laughs and a couple yelps from the paint-balls that traveled at speeds of up to 200 mph.</span></span></span><br />

<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1349452401390295" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"> Every week a top leader from our office is chosen by everyone in the office and this week Andre was selected. Andre has really stepped up his game this week as a leader, trainer, and employee. He gave an inspirational speech on what Freedom means to his parents' generation and to him. Defined as the ability to do what one wants when one wants, freedom has no limits. Although freedom is a fundamental right, most don't have full freedom.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1349452401390295" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1349452401390295" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"> To Andre's parents freedom constitutes having a stable profession that will pay the bills. The job must be either salary or hourly pay, have benefits, paid vacation, and takes place Monday-Friday from 9-5. However, freedom comes with a huge cost! These costs usually consist of being micromanaged, confined to a cubicle, and usually busy or menial work. Yet, these are the jobs that tend to have the highest amount of layoffs each year! Not very stable and secure at all! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"> For Andre having any of the above is not his priority. He doesn't mind working long hours because he knows if you work hard now you can play even harder later. With most businesses cutting back on benefits, which of those benefits will be left? With salary and hourly pay, you're capped no matter how hard you work or try. Hence, to Andre, freedom is the ability to love one's work, to have fun at work, and independence. Luckily, for him, he has this 'freedom' in his current position. Ultimately, his goal is to one day own his own business. At the pace he is going, he is not far from his goal.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"> K2 Consultants hosted their first annual Volleyball Tournament for Operation Smile. We raised well over $500! That puts us halfway to our pledged goal of $1,000. We will be hosting more events to raise money for Operation Smile this year. The money is donated directly to the cause; helping kids in third world countries to fix their cleft lips. The surgery only is $240 per operation...so we helped two children!!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Thank you for everyone who came out on Sunday, September 9th to show their support. Thank you also to Chili's and Hanafan's of Glastonbury for donating gift cards for our winning team! </span><br />

Risk and Baseball<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Every week we have a high performing employee run a motivational meeting for the rest of the team! This week, Frank Moore, had the opportunity to run the meeting! Here it is: </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back in High school, there was a critical moment in one of
the most important games I have played in my career. Our second basemen was injured, leaving one
of the most important positions in the infield open, and with no back up second
basemen to fill in, our team was very vulnerable. At that point, I decided that without any
risk, there can be no rewards and hesitantly stuck my hand out in the air to
prepare to play a position I have never played before, and knew nothing
about. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the first inning drew to a close, a ball rolled right
threw my legs. At this point, I thought
I had one of two options, lose my attitude, give up and go back to a position I
was comfortable with, or push on and adapt on the fly as best I could. I never had a problem with offence and
luckily my bat kept us alive in that game as we pushed on towards the final
innings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I played on, my defense improved, and with that new found
confidence I quickly found myself playing the game of my life. It all came down to the final inning, and as
dramatically as possible the final swing with the bases loaded and the game all
tied up. If I had given up I would
never have had the opportunity to step up to the plate in the seventh and make
that game winning swing, (grand slam by the way). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And now we come to that pivotal point in any story, the
moral of course. Have you figured it out
by now? Well Just in case you haven’t,
there happen to be two underlying strengths that have been showcased during
that game. Without any risks in life, you
can never expect to receive any rewards, and just as importantly, to
consistently win, you must learn how to keep that attitude strong even when the
chips are down and all the cards are on the table. A winning attitude and just the right amount
of risks can make a loser a winner any day.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our goal is to raise over $1,000 this year to donate directly to the cause. Our donation alone will change the world of at least 10 children! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
