“I didn’t get to pick my walk up song...@mookiebetts gets to pick his walk up song.” Our opening keynote speaker, American Sports Executive Susan O’Malley (@1lasooz), lands on stage & immediately gets the crowd laughing. #SLCBoston 
.@1lasooz dives into the 7⃣ rules she set to change the culture of the @WashWizards (formally the Washington Bullets). 🏀 "First rule: make your bed every day." #SLCBoston
"It seems ridiculous, I understand that. Motion creates motion. Get up, make things happen. If you can’t get the small things right, how are you going to get the big things right? If you’ve had an awful, terrible day, you should come home to a made bed." #SLCBoston
"Rule 2: continuously work on your craft. When I first took over for the @WashWizards, we were last in everything, so I figured out who was first in everything. I went to every NBA franchise, I wanted to be great." @1lasooz admired the competition. 🏆 #SLCBoston
"Rule 3: set expectations. When you’re in charge, you need to clearly communicate." @1lasooz created the first @NBA internship program with @WashWizards. After an intern cheered for the @BrooklynNets, 13 expectations were created to set the standard. #SLCBoston
"No one told me I had to cheer for the [@WashWizards!" As the intern plead for mercy, something clicked in @1lasooz's mind, and rule 3 was created. #SLCBoston
Humanizing us all, @1lasooz explains, "rule 4: when you mess up, make it right. People understand that you mess up." #SLCBoston
"Rule 5: Do the right thing, even when no one is looking. Attitude is contagious, it can create a culture." Simple, right? @1lasooz #SLCBoston
"Rule 6: Have fun." @1lasooz shares an anecdote from her time with the @Capitals. The coach took the team bowling and they started to win games, working their way to the #StanleyCup. Team building helped trigger the teams desire how to have fun together. #SLCBoston
"Rule 7: who you’re with matters. People make the difference." 💯 @1lasooz shares the last (but certainly not least) rule she set to change team culture with the @WashWizards. #SLCBoston
“Those are my rules. The question is, what are yours?” Thank you @1lasooz for an energetic start to #SLCBoston!
