Each year, the sales camp has a special guest speaker at the beginning of the day. How lucky were we to hear the Baltimore Raven’s coach, John Harbaugh, present to us?! Coach Harbaugh shared his philosphies on working hard, being passionate and fighting for what you want in life. He was contagious with his excitement, his pride for his team and his casual and warm personality.

Another enjoyable, educational sales camp and Kaine Homes is looking forward to the next one!

World Gym Comes to Kaine Homes!

Monday, January 31st, 2011

For our January personal enrichment class, we had the unique opportunity to get one-on-one training from James, a personal trainer affiliated with World Gym. James gave a fantastic presentation on personal fitness, specifically the importance of understanding your body when developing a workout routine. Here are a couple of tips:

1. Posture is extremely important when developing a fitness routine. Poor posture can lead to back concerns when added to exercise.

2. Body chemistry plays an extremely important role in your body’s metabolism and fat-burning abilities. Genetics and blood type, for example, should be discussed with your personal trainer.

Thank you again, James, for such an informational class!

November Personal Enrichment Class

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Kaine Homes most recent luncheon also gave employees the oppportunity to learn a bit about photography! A big thank you to Jeff Crespy for taking the time to educate us!

Here are some tips for your next photo session:
• If your photo is blurry check your shutter speed first. The setting may be too slow
• 1/15th of a second is a good shutter speed that you can hold steady
• Whenever you download any photos from your camera, always make (2) copies
• Don’t photograph anything outside between the hours of 11:00 – 4:00 to avoid direct sun light or “key light”

Monthly Luncheon and Personal Enrichment Class

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Each month, Kaine Homes has a monthly luncheon for the employees. This is an opportunity to visit with one another, since we are at two different locations, as well as discuss the business.

Brooke, the owner of Kaine Homes, has decided to add a “Personal Enrichment” class to each luncheon so the employees can have a nice balance of work and fun. This month, we were taught one hour of self defense by Kyle from the Blackbelt Academy in Prince Frederick.

A couple of points we learned…

1. Always walk with your head up, face forward. You want to present yourself not only as confident, but aware of your surroundings. An attacker will typically target someone who’s head is down and unfocused.

2. Be aware of your surroundings! Take in your location and the people around you. If someone is making you uncomfortable, go with your instincts.

Thank you Shannon, our Design Manager, for planning this class and thank you Kyle for teaching us!

Kyle, from Blackbelt Academy
