I Hope They Leave the Light On...

Even before I started going to the national conferences, I would get excited when seeing the announcements for the SLC/CLC coming out - it was the sign that spring was here and shortly after the event - I would be off to vacation in the Caribbean with my wife (no kids allowed) - things haven't changed - five days after the conference, I will be sitting in the sun by the pool in Jamaica.

SO - here it is five days before we leave for the conference and we all have a million things to do before we leave...here are a few of my things:
  1. Answer the flurry of emails from those asking "are you going and can we connect"?
  2. Finding some clean team wear - I was told we are suppose to wear it Wednesday!
  3. Dusting off my Bengals gear - cause we are going to our arch rival city! Who Dey! Who Dey gonna beat those Bengals!
  4. Getting an oil change because our arranged transportation (a bus) never happened! And I have been practicing all my favorite 'bus songs' for the last three months.
  5. Staying up late to fine tune my resume and passing it out during the conference (just kidding Rob).
  6. Charging up the blackberry - "always on always connected" is the motto of the Young Leaders.

I am sure I am forgetting something - I'll save that for next posting. If you have things on your last minute list..please post!

My United Way Thought for The Day:

I find some irony in the fact that in today's world we believe that technology has made us "more connected" - but I find that people get so excited about the CLC/SLC because it gets back to the best way to really connect with each other - in person, with real conversation, hand shakes for new friends, and hugs for old friends.

Oh yea, I must give a shout out to all my Peep's in Cincy that couldn't make it to the SLC. The Blog will be great to connect with people at the conference but also with all the important people back home - keeping the 'wheels on the impact bus' in motion (that's for you - Lauren).

I think the logo shirts are supposed to be worn Friday -- not Wednesday...

As one of those left behind, I'm soooooo looking forward to hearing about your adventures! Don't forget to pack an extra suitcase or tote to bring all of your paper and samples home. I had trouble with that coming home from the Brand Forum!

What a great tool for keeping the 'left behind' engaged (and amused. We'll be looking for you during the Web cast. That yellow team wear shirt would be a nice choice for that session.

Your marketing friends are so proud of your first posts -- you take direction REALLY well!

Who Dey!

I'm am so glad not to be taking the bus, has you heard Chas sing?
And I think the logowear is now on Thursday?
For those of you who aren't so Young anymore, we've changed the name to "Emerging" Leaders so Chas can be included. ;-)

I heard it said that it is never good to have two boss's - here is a good example: my local boss (the big guy with blue eyes) says Wednesday - my national boss (not sure what color eyes) says friday. I am a team player, I'll go with both.

What I say is..it looks like my time spent picking out shirts just got shortened. What will I do with the extra free time? Spend it listening to my real boss (Cindy) with a "honey to do" list before I leave to go to Pittsburg. I am sure we all have those lists.

until the next posting..everyone get outside, its beautiful.
