If you haven't been to a trade conference lately (NENA, APCO, or NENA/APCO) or something that salutes you and adds to your toolbox of knowledge, NOW is the time. Learning while among colleagues and peers reminds us that we are not alone. It fills us up with tools, know-how, and support that we might never know about otherwise. The conferences are built with you in mind and offer specific tracks for what might interest you and build you!
When you feel most left out or left behind, that's when you should do everything you can to attend, mingle and ask a TON of questions! You will come away with more than information but support and understanding as well.
I will be speaking at several conferences coming up and my main goal is to give back to those who give so much of themselves day in and day out by answering the calls for help. You deserve the best, and you deserve to get out and get away and take a mental break if anything!
So, get signed up, do whatever it takes and get out to any conference that is about you. After all, it drives your career, your life, and your spirit!
Let's GO!
