OUR AWARD WINNING LEADERS E Every year at Convention we recognize our Partners’ incredible achievements and successes. Along with special bonuses from promotions and rank advancements, Vísi Founder & CEO Kent Lewis personally selects three Partners for the most exclusive awards of all: the Pacesetter, the Founder’s Award, and the Spirit of Vísi. The Pacesetter recognizes Partners who have built momentum across Vísi to grow businesses and rise in ranks. The Founder’s Award is for Partners who have made an instrumental difference since the beginning of Vísi. And the Spirit of Vísi award is especially for Partners who through every action reflect what it truly means to be Vísi. We’ve collected here the inspiring stories of the winners. Who knows—next year you could be among them! 2016 Award Winners Don Wescott PACESETTER AWARD Receiving the Pacesetter Award shocked me. I had no idea. You never know globally how you're doing. You just know you're doing the best you can do. It meant a lot to me to that while I was focused on chasing these opportunities, people took notice and tried to do the same. I think to be a pacesetter you need to just get up and set the example. Not by words, but by actions. I'm going to achieve with or without you. The opportunity is to get on board, join me and follow what I'm doing, and we'll go show others how to do it also. Together we can accomplish some really big things. Life is given to you today, so why not go out and give it everything you’ve got? Chang Yu FOUNDER’S AWARD I didn’t know I would be receiving the Founder’s Award, so I was pretty happy to hear they’d chosen me. Since I began working with Vísi, I’ve kept focused on moving forward all the time. Vísi changes for the better all the time. We didn’t start with a lot of product, but now we have a wide variety. And we’ve 14 Best Life Magazine FALL 2016 brought Vísi to a lot of different countries. I’ve been so happy to play a part in that. I promised Vísi when we started that I was going to help us share our message around the world. I’m staying focused on opening more countries around Asia right now, and my ultimate goal is to reach the highest available rank at Vísi, the Royal Arctic Presidential.
