Monterey

I made a one day trip to the California Workforce Association's Meeting of the Minds in Monterey conference this week. Although, I wasn't originally planning on attending I am very glad I did. Not only did I get alot from the few sessions that I attended, but I also re-energized myself a little bit. I always get charged by conversations with my peers. I have some good professional relationships with others in the industry and I find that it helps to both commiserate and strategize with these friends. Some of the people I had an opportunity to talk to, I had not seen in 3 to 5 years. Others, I have seen more recently, but not often enough considering the information dump that still happens when I see them, and others I met for the first time on this trip. All in all, my conversations were good, my professional network intact and my learning curve flattened by the one day trip. A true meeting of the minds, I guess.
