In August, I had the opportunity to travel to Chicago for the Best Buy WoLF convention. It was Awesome this year! I was in a better frame of mind than last year's event, but on top of that, I thought it was better! I guess I really go out of it that we need to continually learn from adversity. Here is a sample of what I posted from the convention:
"One of the last bits I will add is the new friends I made and the old ones I re-connected with. Our pack added several new members last month due to a decline in our population. All I can say is that I think they are FANTASTIC. I spent a great afternoon getting to know a new member really well. Her number is in my phone already and I know I'll talk to her before the next meeting. I can tell already that our new members will be super engaged and ready to make a difference."
The other thing is that I am starting to meet other folks from around the company who may help me get to where I where I think I might want to be.
I went to several workshops including one about finding my own "brand" and about the Grameen Foundation. (please check them out if you haven't heard of them. It is quite interesting.)
The event left me very energized and I was able to hook up with some acquantinces from Ohio who reminded me that there would always be a place for me there.
Let me know if you'd like to hear more. I really enjoyed it.

Sounds awesome. I love conventions when they become constructive and energizing. It's good to get out there, right?
I like the Grameen Foundation. It's great.
