Charting Your Course

From June 2017 

I had the privilege of attending the BNI National Conference in May.  The Theme for the
conference was 'Charting Your Course.'  Wow!  It was Awesome!  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting lots people from BNI, i.e. members, BNI Global personnel, BNI Directors, Trainers, Executive Directors, etc.  It was like trying to drink from a fire hose!  I took lots of notes and will be sharing and implementing a lot of what I learned over the course of the next several weeks and months. 
 

The keynote speaker for the conference was Lt. Col Rob 'Waldo' Waldman. One of the best keynotes I've ever heard.  And he is from Atlanta.
Here are a few of the one liners from his presentation:
- 'Whose Values are you Shaping?' 
- Passion has to be bigger than our fear 
- Attitude plus action determine our Altitude 
- Are you trained and prepared or are you winging it? 
- Fly Like a Champion 
- Leaders Lift 
- Busy People find a way and find the time 
- Service before Self 
- Be a Commander Not a Demander 
- Are you coachable?  Are you approachable? 
- Lose Sight, Lose the Fight 
- Fuel of Performance - Recognition 
- We Survive Solo, But we Win Together 
- Fear Drags - Love Lifts 
- Be a Wing Giver

I highly recommend his book.  Be sure and give yourself CEU credits after you read it.

Typically in the summer months we tend to want to pull back the throttle and slow down a bit.  Was that part of charting your course the first of the year when you set your goals?  Are you on course with your goals?

Be sure and check out the training section for some new webinars, in particular Monday Morning Mugs.  Cathy Barbieri, BNI Atlanta Executive Director, leads these webinar every Monday Morning with insightful ways to get the most from your BNI membership.  This is specifically for BNI members & guests held each Monday at 8:30 a.m. to get better results from networking -- regardless of if you join or not!
