Winning a talent competition is no small accomplishment, especially when you’re potentially up against more than 7,000 people.
On October 1, Ryan Luse, a business process analyst for Thomson Reuters, Legal, stepped up to that challenge in our annual employee talent competition at our headquarters in Eagan, Minn.
He definitely put his own spin on what could have been just a typical guitar act.
Luse told us he drew his inspiration for an original song, appropriately, from his work. But he said that inspiration didn’t hit him until the night before the competition. That’s when he decided he would wow the employee crowd with a song they could relate to.
He spent about two hours writing “Rock You Reuters”
After practicing the morning of the competition the song was still rather new to Luse, so he opted to bring the lyrics and music on stage with him. But that didn’t seem to hold back his performance and he was voted the winner by an employee vote, online.
You can watch a video of part of Luse’s song, on our YouTube Channel.
Luse has participated in all three of our talent competitions in Eagan. In the first year, he took third place with another original song.
His win this month earned $5,000 for his chosen charity, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. (more…)
