It has been a while since I wrote. Last week I was at the Annual Women Presidents Organization annual conference and was once again blown away at the energy this conference generates in its members.
I met people from at least 8 countries and shared experiences, let some random cartoonist do a caricature of me, threw on some silly accessories and posed with Ed and Juli Betwee, our Chapter Chair, and even danced.
There were some great key note addresses:
Three excellent key note speakers: I particularly liked Shawn Achor on the Happiness Advantage and the youngest keynote speaker Maya Penn. It is worth a listen:
- The Engagement Economy: Jane McGonigal from game and research development for Institute of the Future.
