If I were to use one word to describe my experience with the Reform Symposium – RSCON3 (so far, there are still a couple of sessions left), it would be Inspirational! The presentations/keynotes/panel discussions which I was able to attend were absolutely amazing! I only wish I could have attended more. One of the bestContinue reading “Inspirational”

RSCon3!

While it is difficult to attend a lot of sessions with my three kids, but it has been great to be able to have the sessions going on in the background. I have also had the opportunity to save the conversation thatContinue reading “RSCon3!”
Deposits and Withdrawls
My last post talked about the importance of building relationships and taking time need to really set things up before moving forward.

Go Slow to Go Far
My family and I went out for our evening exercise routine this evening.

It is basically a newspaper that highlights recent blog posts written by people in leadership positions. Some of the headlines of the posts were quite interesting and included titles such as, “Leadership Theories” (OK, maybe that is not that interesting), “100Continue reading “Leadership Abilities Quiz”

Professional Development is really everywhere and anywhere you want to look! I realized this when a few friends introduced me to Pinterest. This is a website where you have a number of themed virtual bulletin boards that you fill with items from different websites.
