Be the Architect of Your Future


I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to present "Be the Architect of Your Future" at Interim Healthcare's 2011 Sales and Business Development Conference at the Mirage in Las Vegas last week. What a great group of people!! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Interim's CEO, Kathleen Gilmartin, the VP of Sales and Development, Michael Moran, their local franchisee Bernie here in the Chicagoland area, and of course, all of the conference attendees!
Even after lots of years of walking in to events where I don't know anyone, it is still a very intimidating feeling. The Interim group made me feel welcome right from the get-go, and for that I am really thankful. "Be the Architect of Your Future" is a custom speech that I wrote for Interim based on their conference theme, "Building the Future Together". Architects design, plan and build so the whole speech was built around designing, planning and building the future you want for yourself. I was overwhelmed by the number of people who came up to me after the presentation to thank me and say how much they enjoyed the hour we spent together. Becky R. from Roanoke, VA even wrote me a note that said, "My 'bucket' is full thanks to you!" For me as a speaker, to know I helped someone re-fill their Passion Bucket, is the highest praise possible!! I am looking forward to the next time I have an opportunity to work with Interim because they were just outstanding from start to finish.
Today brought another exciting confirmation to the speaking calendar and that is for The President's Forum to be held in Chicago in September.
Until next time, keep that Passion Bucket filled to the brim -
