I’m about a week into my promotional season and I’m already starting to get a sense for what’s going to work and what won’t. There seem to be a few States that have REALLY been hit hard by the economic crisis. More than I had anticipated. So now, my job becomes about getting creative to make sure that finances don’t get in the way of working with students.
I’ve decided I’m going to try to focus a little more on Leadership Conferences for the 2009-2010 school year. While you’re already dealing with partially if not fully Motivated students, there just seems to be such a vast array of Conferences that need speakers. So why not me? 
2 weeks until I head down to West Virginia and I’m looking forward to getting as much accomplished as possible in terms of bookings prior to the Conference. I’ve always maintained that this job could keep me busy 24/7, 365 days a year and currently I don’t think I’ve ever as strongly agreed with that statement as I do today. It’s almost like a, “where do I begin?” mentality. But as always, I await the challenge!
A few quick observations and notes:
Have a great and productive day everyone!
