Again, I’ve had a chance to surround myself with people I respect, I learn from and who challenge me. I think we should always give ourselves the treat of this kind of experience. It helps to re-focus me. It illuminates what I am doing at that time and how it fits into the bigger picture. And, most importantly, I get to spend some amazing time with wonderful people who help me become more of who I already am.
In this case, I experience this by attending the national convention of the organization I belong to for professional speakers (The Canadian Association of Professional Speakers). Going to this convention is both a great learning experience but also a wonderful working vacation. It is a vacation in so far as it is so much fun and I enjoy the learning experience.
What a great way to treat yourself to something that enriches you as well. How do you surround yourself with the best?
