Our first event!
Whew! Recovering from our first event which from our perspective was a great success…but even more importantly, from our participant’s perspective, was a great event!! So many people who were there made a point of telling us how important our event was to them which was very appreciated…based on the time and money we put into it. We’re hoping this now can lead to more! So reach out and tell us where you’d be interested in seeing such an event…we’re thinking Boston and Washington, but are open to suggestions.
One of things that drove me in building this event was the desire to help contribute to a marketplace that would lead to easier choices for MY daughters. When I got home, the babysitter told me that my 3 1/2 year old told her “Tomorrow I have a busy day. I have to go to work and do my conference”. I guess she picked up on what I was so busy working on…
And today all three kids sent me flowers to say “Congrats”! That was nice…but even better was the feeling that I created something and did something that I was PROUD of for the first time in six years (professionally proud–I created and am proud of my kids, as well)! And one of the things I took from the conference–along with great conversations and lots of positive reinforcement–was that it’s not ok to NOT feel good about what you’re doing–and I shouldn’t have to “settle” for less every day. So–learning experience for all. I know–from emails already sent thanking us!–that others got a lot out of the day…so thanks to those who were a part of it, and I look forward to seeing MORE people at a future event!
