Your Interest + Our People = Success

“He delivers two things over and over: he’ll tell you the truth, with no BS, and then he’ll love you to death.”

These are the words of assistant coach Chip Engelland, when referring to one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time, Gregg Popovich. Over two decades, Chip and Gregg have fostered a culture of success, a resume that includes five championships, an ongoing record of 22 consecutive playoff appearances, and five players who are – or will be – part of the hall of fame in David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginoili, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard.

Chip’s observations are an insight into one of sports’ greatest minds, highlighting the importance of honesty, accountability and most importantly, people. Put simply, the right culture ensures strong relationships whilst concurrently, fosters a pathway to success.

In my short time at Orion, I can’t help but draw striking parallels with Chip’s description. Visionaries leading the team with integrity, holding teammates to the highest standards, yet all collectively treating each other like family. The same goes for clients, which results in holistic project wins and corresponding recognition from other consultants in the professional realm.

The Orion culture is contagious. It strives for excellence. Personally it has challenged me to buy into the journey, be part of the family and remain motivated in contributing to the team’s success.
