I am often chained to my desk these days. After getting back from holiday break I have been full force for the last week throttled into the managing of all the events coming down the track in the first quarter. I am that quintessential duck on the pond. I may look like I’m handling it, but in reality I’m paddling like mad just to stay afloat. Now, let me be clear, no one has actually chained me to my desk, and no one is making me sit at my computer all day cranking out emails and spreadsheets. This act is completely self-inflicted because well… stuff just needs to get done.
I began my college career studying secondary education and math. I wanted to be a high school math teacher. As you can see, that didn't work out. I've spent the last 9+ years in the event industry and there's no stopping me. So how did I get from high school math teacher to event professional? I guess it was a little bit of luck and a lot of passion.
Today has been packed with learning for me. I sat through a webinar this morning as a facilitator/presenter and learned about how various technology can be used to better facilitate meetings and learning interactions. I heard from quite a few people that it was one of the best webinars they've ever sat through. I was proud to be able to put this together for NC SGMP.
