Hosting a conference is not easy. It is akin to hosting a party. The party is for them, not you. So while your guests are having a good time, you're working hard to make sure that things go smoothly.
That being said, I was able to sneak into a few things at NAFCU's annual conference. Here are two highlights.
Kaihan Krippendorff. He gave akillerkeynote yesterday. How do you out-think the competition? How do you find the hidden solutions to your problems? It was a great talk. I searched the internet, andhere's a talkhe gave earlier that hits many of the points he raised yesterday.It is worth your time.He also has awebpagethat has some strategic planning tools that you can find in the bottom left. (Although it is designed to work with a recent book that he published.) He spoke of the "4th option,"which I touched on before.
Mary Davis-Holt. She gave a great workshop for our Women's Leadership Summit. Here's a videoshowing her giving a similar talk a few years ago. The talk centered on the need for women to "break their own rules." It was a great talk, and I'll try to remember some of her points when I send Kate off to college some day.
