Hosting a conference is not easy. It is akin to hosting a party. The party is for them, not you. So while your guests are having a good time, you're working hard to make sure that things go smoothly.
That being said, I was able to sneak into a few things at NAFCU's annual conference. Here are two highlights.
Kaihan Krippendorff. He gave a killer keynote yesterday. How do you out-think the competition? How do you find the hidden solutions to your problems? It was a great talk. I searched the internet, and here's a talk he gave earlier that hits many of the points he raised yesterday. It is worth your time. He also has a webpage that has some strategic planning tools that you can find in the bottom left. (Although it is designed to work with a recent book that he published.) He spoke of the "4th option," which I touched on before.
Mary Davis-Holt. She gave a great workshop for our Women's Leadership Summit. Here's a video showing her giving a similar talk a few years ago. The talk centered on the need for women to "break their own rules." It was a great talk, and I'll try to remember some of her points when I send Kate off to college some day.
More books. Here's the rub: Now I have two more books to read! (Not a complaint.)
