I had a GREAT time yesterday speaking at and attending the Kalamazoo X Conference!
Thanks and congratulations to Mike Eaton and the all the organizers and staff for creating, organizing and hosting this one-of-a-kind event. All the talks were great, but I want to especially single-out two that I thought we absolutely incredible:
Leon Gersing gave an awesome talk on “Change.” I've always thought Leon was a great, natural speaking and finding out that he actually studied musical theater in college explains where a lot of that comes from. He had some great insight and great advice for everyone there on dealing with change.
Jim Holmes gave two talks that were both great. But his talk on “Leadership” was just incredible. This talk should be “required reading” for anyone who is or wants to get into management.
If you are at an event in the future and you see either of these sessions on the schedule, go. I don’t care what else is on the schedule for that time, blow it off and go to these.
I enjoyed speaking to the group on Organization Dynamics. Unfortunately I had to use the “abridged” deck, but I think I got all the important points out. The full deck can downloaded here:
See you next year in Kalamazoo!
