Conferences and Coming Home

Reflections 1 Minute

Things I dislike about conferences:

  • People that brag about all the great things they’ve done
  • People who don’t ask questions
  • Activities organized by extroverts that make everyone talk
  • Listening to bad presentations
  • Being away from home

Things I like about conferences:

  • Space to dream
  • Interaction with ideas
  • Creativity and thinking
  • Listening to great presentations
  • Coming home and seeing Amy after being gone for 3 days!

  1. Bah ha! Your bullet point about activities only for extroverts made me laugh. I’ve left conference sessions because it just turned out to be one giant icebreaker and I couldn’t handle it! I like nothing more than to just listen!
