What are you thankful for?
Posted on November 24, 2015 by Carolyn in Giving Thanks.I just got back from 12 days on the road – it started onsite and ended as an attendee. While I missed my family, this trip helped feed my soul and remind me why I do what I do. I’m thankful for being a part of the meetings industry and this trip reinforced that for […]

Continuing Education for Meeting Professionals – Who Needs it?
Posted on November 5, 2015 by Carolyn in Continuing Education.Can you relate to these statements? “I’m done with school – I don’t need continuing education,” or “I don’t have time to attend a class/seminar/webinar.” We take our cars in for tune-ups, we upgrade our electronics frequently – why not our brains? Think of continuing education as a tune-up for your brain – a way […]

That’s What It’s All About!
Posted on June 26, 2014 by Carolyn in Meeting Design, Networking.I saw a post on Facebook the other day about The Hokey Pokey (I’ll pause while you start dancing!). While it did recall images of silly Hokey Pokey sessions in elementary school and at kids’ parties, the last line of each chorus “and that’s what it’s all about” drew me back to meetings. What is […]

If You Build It, Will They Come?
Posted on February 3, 2014 by Carolyn in Meeting Design.(I’m getting tired of the snow and eagerly awaiting Spring Training – so please allow me to indulge in some baseball references.) “If you build it, he will come” seemed ridiculous and far-fetched in Field of Dreams (if you’ve never seen the movie – add it to your Netflix queue!) and it certainly is unrealistic […]

Involve All the Senses
Posted on January 2, 2014 by Carolyn in Meeting Design.When a colleague first asked if I wanted to attend an information session about olive oil, I was hesitant as I expected a dry lecture. After I got the official invite for an interactive cooking session, my ‘maybe’ turned quickly into a ‘yes’! The class was held at Rustico Cooking (a cooking loft in New […]

Making a List, Checking it Twice
Posted on December 22, 2013 by Carolyn in Risk Management.There is a first time for everything – last night it was hearing the words Force Majeure during a musical! Disaster! – A 70s Disaster Movie Musical – a creative, fun off-Broadway show that incorporates 70s music with parodies of disaster movies (think The Poseidon Adventure meets Earthquake meets Jaws, etc.). I was enjoying the […]
