Best Quotes from the 2023 Summit

Did You Miss These Quotes?

Getting ready for the Name Game at the 2023 Global TapRooT® Summit.

If you attended the 2023 Global TapRooT® Summit, you went home with great ideas to improve your company’s performance. If you missed the Summit, well, you really missed out.

Benchmarking, Networking — Sharing best practices at the 2023 Global TapRooT® Summit.

Based on my evaluation and the comments of many participants, this was the best networking EVER. And that’s saying something because the TapRooT® Summit is known for great networking.

This was the first Summit to really feel “post-covid.” It was great to be back to normal.

Having fun at the Wednesday night reception.

Better yet, there were “old-timers” and many new people I had never met before. This makes networking really outstanding as you get new ideas and add people to your list of new friends.

You also missed the greatest keynote speakers ever. At least, that’s what many people told me. And I agree. DaRonda Vaught’s talk about her prosecution (or should I say persecution) after a fatal medication error was spellbinding.

RaDonda’s presentation was emotional and inspirational.

You could hear a pin drop. Everyone was on the edge of their seat.

And I also heard that this was the best set of best practice sharing/breakout sessions ever. I certainly enjoyed and learned from the ones I attended.

Read on to see some of my picks for the best quotes from the 2023 Summit…
