Today our team members attended Disney Institute's 'Approach to Business Excellence' class. The class aims to teach what Disney calls the "five most powerful lessons in business". These lessons included Leadership, Quality Service, Loyalty, Creativity/Innovation and Management. Disney hopes, as do we, that building upon these lessons, we will forge a bond between our leaders, employees and customers. As we soaked in all of Disney's brilliant ideas, we were amazed at how much we could learn in just one day! Here are just a few of the hi-lights:
- Valuing diverse points of views in order to encourage new ideas
- Engaging in ongoing improvement processes
- Involving staff in low-cost or no-cost improvement ideas
- Developing clear visions for our employees and our customers
- Emphasizing and integrating a consistent message throughout our shop
- Encouraging and recognizing ongoing career development
- Promoting an environment that matches the values of Braxton Automotive
- Learning how to gauge customer's needs, wants and emotions
- Treating customers like a VIP at all times
So as you can see, we are not "just a shop". We strive to be THE shop. We take every opportunity to go above and beyond, to better ourselves at every chance we get. We value our customers, we value ourselves and we continue to improve to meet your needs.

Every year Braxton Automotive gets all of it's employees together, outside of work, for a day of fun and bonding. We get to learn more about each other and get to know each other's families as well. It's an experience like no other. When we get back to work on Monday, we are a stronger, closer TEAM.
This year we went to the North Geargia Canopy Tours. It was 3 hours of nature walks, sky 
bridges and 12 ziplines. We zipped over 3 ponds and even crossed the Oconee River. The tour concludes with a rappel down a huge tree. The last zipline was a thrilling dual zip that showed our competitive spirits.
