For those of you that missed the post yesterday, you can read that here for what you should do when you're taking over someone else's program. Today's focus is on what you can do to prepare to pass your program along to someone else. I had this experience when I was preparing for maternity leave last year.
With the Whole World Watching
I can't help but get excited to watch the US Women take on the "Group of Death" just as the US Men did during the World Cup just a year ago. The main difference between the men's team and women's team is that the women are not underdogs as the men were last year. However, the road to the final will not be a walk in the park as it has been in the past. With the pool of teams expanded from 16 to 24 this year, there seems to be no clear favorite to win it all. Thus, you have to stay tuned in to find out if American will be victorious.
80,000 people rocked out!
Over the weekend 80,000 people converged in Concord, NC for an epic concert festival, Carolina Rebellion. There were 39 bands, three days, and multiple stages for these metal bands to head bang all weekend with their die hard fans. My husband, Jerry, and his friend, Marcus, attended the rock concert and had the most amazing time!
When Technology Fails
We have no idea how much we rely on technology in our lives until it fails us. When it fails, it is like losing one of our arms. As an event planner, about 90% of my work is computer-based, which makes it incredibly convenient to work at home, on the road, communicate with people far away, work on presentations, and basically run my life. However, there are times when technology fails and it is important to know how to deal with that.
