Inspire Me Friday: FSO Rockstar Lina Drouin— "I Have A Story To Tell: A Corporate Meeting That Blew My Mind!"


"Be thoughtful, simply because you can"




Good Morning Folks,

Last week, FSO hosted another successful Awards & Recognition Meeting.

It was another unforgettable night where we celebrated our teams and recognized top performers. This month's honorees included FSO's Mail and Logistics Associates, Facilities Managers, Records Associates, Copy Operators and Informationalists servicing the wide range of FSO clients including: Financial Companies, High End Real Estate Organizations, Law Firms, Media and Publishing Companies, and Higher Education.

Today, on InspireMe Friday here on MitchWeiner.com, I’m pleased to share with you some feedback we received from one our employees who attended the meeting. Thank you so much Lina. We are excited to have you here. We look forward to your future success.

To everyone, enjoy this day! Mitch 

==>  "I Have A Story To Tell: A Corporate Meeting That Blew My Mind!" By FSO Rockstar Lina Drouin**

Once upon a time, a few months ago, when I first started at FSO, I went through an intense training. I learned about the business, the company’s history, the culture and the operating model. It was a great opportunity for a newbie like me, especially considering the fact that most companies in New York City give you less than a second to figure it out before they throw you into the arena!

Theory is good but I am the type of person who needs to see it in action to believe it….
We have all attended major corporate meetings so dull that they make a sponge sale look fascinating. And we have also been energized by executive leaders who have inspired us with their passion and vision. Some could aspire to Mitch Weiner’s achievements; many should follow his example and develop their speaking skills.

A leader needs to connect with his audience and integrate the personal to his business mission. Stories have a mysterious power and at the heart of any good speech is a single principle: It’s all about the people who listen to you. The message should be relevant to their values, to their priorities, to their view of the world. It should speak to them directly.


Originally from Paris, Lina Drouin is a
seasoned sales professional who has a strong
background in the advertising industry. 
What I witnessed yesterday during the company’s corporate meeting is that I am part of a group that really does CARE and LISTEN. The employees are not only valued and respected but they are also encouraged, trained and supported.

I have never seen an executive team so passionate, dedicated, productive and hard-working. Each day we are not only given the support, the tools and the knowledge to be better professionals but we are also encouraged, rewarded and recognized as individuals.

FSO is a unique company and Mitch Weiner is truly different. He is not afraid to challenge the norm and by following his own track, FSO has recently been recognized as the fastest growing onsite outsourcing company in the country and by Crain's Magazine as one of the top 25 companies.

In closing I’d like to say to those of you that are skeptics out there: TALK TO US. WITNESS US. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EXPERIENCE US!”




  • Have A HAPPY, HEALTHY and Joyous Weekend!
