My adventures in Florida

Me at my table at the Expo with Ali the organizer of the event

Greetings:

Had a great time at the K-12 Expo. It was a lot of fun and I met so many great people. I gave two presentations that were well attended and lots of great energy. I just love giving talks because you just never know who you will touch with what you say. The first thing Ali, the organizer of the event, said to me was that I had inspired her to do the expo. She had been at a talk I did in March at another expo and what I said about taking action inspired her to go out and do it! I love that.

Ali did a great job getting amazing people to present at the conference. The keynote speaker was Dr. Jeffrey Brown. Dr. Jeffrey wrote the book "The Competitive Edge" and I am happy to say I am a proud owner of a copy of the book. I took so many notes during his talk. Here are just a few nuggets of wisdom that I picked up.

According to Dr. Jeffrey -

Legacy is the perfect family heirloom

Know the Rules of the game (I always say if you know the rules you can play the game)

Strategies for knowing the rules - Know the details. Know the value of your own integrity - what would you sale out for?

Use growing knowledge to guard your integrity

Be prepared for the rules to change

Search out good role models

Recognize the right decision - and make it

Correct bad decisions before they get worse

Be right minded not just right

When you have made a poor decision don't deny, rationalize, minimize or project.

I would highly recommend getting a copy of The Competitve Edge. This is the handbook we need in today's complicated and confusing world.

I am heading back to Denver in a couple of days. Love visiting family and meeting new people and love going home.

Here's to taking action.
