I’m traveling for work and we had our first true day of meetings. I was in charge of facilitating the discussion, welcoming the guest speakers, and also presenting facts/data and the implications to the group – and also facilitating discussion versus only reporting numbers (how boring). It was a great day. Folks gave me great feedback and I’ve already tried to do things a bit differently to engage with the group and hopefully drive consulting sales.
It has been a very long day. I woke up at 6:15 Eastern (3:15 Pacific) and the work was non-stop. All day meetings, post-meeting debrief, cocktail hour/schmoozing, and dinner/schmoozing. I found several others who went to Columbia University (very, very strange since most tend to stay in NYC). I also had a great dinner conversation about 80’s metal bands and I even had fun singing Cinderella’s “Nobody’s Fool” and “Shake Me”. I had a second filet mignon. And too much wine. This will be a fun bunch. They are smart and also fun. I’m going to like this.
But the day is long. And I have tomorrow and Thursday left. I am exhausted already and have more to go…. and of course I miss home.
The report from home today was that there was kissing of the monkeys on the cereal box “Gorilla Munch”. I bet you anything it was Twin Crazy.
Til tomorrow –
