Pass the mic 🎤 Community Champions
Community Champions are members who demonstrate product expertise and generosity in sharing best practices and support with others on the platform.
We were so excited to have this wonderful group of Community Champions join us at ENGAGE Seattle! Here’s what Champion @Jake Gustafson said about why he attended:
“To continue to build a network of like minded people trying to solve similar problems across different industries, using software that we collectively enjoy. Meeting some great people, face-to-face, that have impacted my Smartsheet journey, as well as making new friends, have been invaluable.”

Memorable Quotes from ENGAGE
“I originally wasn't supposed to be here, but after I explained to my VP how much I love Smartsheet and how dedicated I am to being a Smartsheet Implementation Champion, she took a chance on me. Thank you ENGAGE for such an amazing, educational experience.”
“I love being surrounded by “my people”. Others that love Smartsheet as much as I do!! I was here in 2015 for “Smartsheet Academy” and 2018 Engage. So happy to return!”
“I decided to come to Engage to learn what I still need to learn. I felt a bit stagnant in my Smartsheet journey and needed a boost. And boy have I gotten one!”

Overachiever's Motivation Mix
The Smartsheet Overachievers are here to give you the songs that will keep you going and keep you achieving! Here’s what’s on the playlist right now.
“I just love this tune for so many reasons. Earth, Wind & Fire is a power choice for motivational jams regardless of the track (see September’s newsletter choice of September), but this one throws me into my day feeling strong. The steady drive with the sharp 3-note blast in key segments actually helps me focus on the underlying message that the lyrics get at: The power of our relationships that override our ego is embraceable. This is why I absolutely love community and why the Smartsheet Community is so literally tuned in!
The last two lines of the lyrics say it all:
Life's found the time to hug you, yeah
Can you find the time for blissing? Yeah, ow, ow
Can’t Hide Love helps me cut through the noise and drive forward in the groove. Yeah, ow, ow!"
- @Will Jeffords, Vice President of Finance/HR/PMO at Swampfox Technologies and current Overachiever

More about Rebeca:
Back in April, I shared my goal to expand my horizons this year, and turns out that intentionally trying out new things is pretty fun. The best part? I discovered new activities I enjoy — including some I was scared to try at first!
1) Attending ENGAGE was the perfect opportunity to explore new hobbies, and a new city. I tried bowling and boxing for the first time with the team (super fun), and even overcame my initial fear of axe throwing. Was I any good at it? Nope! But you bet I’ll try again next time.
2) More recently (a couple of days ago) I got to check an item off my bucket list. Living in Costa Rica, I could have gone ziplining over the forest many times, but I hadn’t... until now. It was a little scary at first, but the views were 100% worth it, and now I can’t wait to do it again!
3) This year, I also ventured into learning pottery, painting, watercolors, and basic LESCO (Costa Rican sign language), and loved it. Shout out to Leader @Pauline J who shared her beautiful artwork, and encouraged me to continue exploring watercolors further!
Question for you: I’m really enjoying my adventures, big and small, this year. What are some of your favorite adventures in 2024 so far? 👀

So proud of you for tackling all your adventures @Rebeca S.! Axe throwing queen.
Such a great bop choice, @Will Jeffords.
Meet the Overachievers + Community Champions 🤩
-
@Rebeca S. that looks and sounds so fun! Costa Rica seems like a dream world!
-
@Will Jeffords, it was a lot of fun! Costa Rica is very rainy around this time of year, but that made the forest extra green and beautiful. 😄
-
@Rebeca S. - First time I did axe throwing was at a work team outing. My first throw I split the bulls eye turned to my manager and said, "don't get on my bad side!" :)
-
Omg, I love that @Kathy PPT 😆 You're so cool for getting it on your first throw!
-
When are we getting 5 million cell capacity?
-
Rebeca, you’re so rad! Next time we meet up for ENGAGE you’ll be throwing those axes with your eyes closed 🤣. In all seriousness, really happy you’ve reached so many amazing goals this year. I’m envious of your zip lining adventure and NEED to know more when we chat next.
