I arrive (if Air Canada cooperates with my vision of when I arrive) at 1:37 pm on Wednesday, November 11th. I'm up for sharing a cab if there are any early-afternooners out there looking for a travel buddy.

Transition Zone

So aware, in this moment, sitting at my computer in my office - clock ticking, inbox bursting, to-do list taunting - how challenging/intriging/tearing it is to step back into the real world (whatever the hell that means) after a few days of AIN playfulness.

I want to cling to the friends, old and new, the laughter and the learning and the magic accepting that unless I'm here in the moment, I'm not living what we teach/preach/strive towards.

Ahhhhh - the paradox of it all.

Thanks for the welcome, Karen.

I'm poking around on the site to see what's what. I will not be attending the conference, and look forward to comments and feedback from those who do attend.

Back to poking...

I always try to play down the PhD - it is a bit scary for some people outside of academia (where of course almost everyone has a PhD !!!)

AoM in Management and Business School parlance means the Academy of Management conference - it was in Chicago last week... It is the biggest and arguably the most prestigious Management conference - usually about 12000 delegates...

Thanks for the welcome note...

Karen,

I do remember you. Thanks for taking the time to make contact. Will you be in Chattanooga in March? How about the EI conference in Toronto in June? I'll be at both. Work is good. Life is better. I hope all is well with you. Take care, Brent
