This year’s Thanksgiving was a fun one. While it was sad to not be with the family, I did enjoy some time with friends in NYC. The food was pretty good considering it was cooked by 3 bachelors with little cooking experience, and the company was even better. Turkey Day mission accomplished.
Whether it’s 6 people or 60, I’ve realized that I enjoy facilitating workshops. The communication workshop seemed to go over very well with a number of people verbalizing how much they liked it.
Of course we’ll see what the anonymous survey results say, but overall I am happy with how the workshop went.
The AIN conference was a blast; I met a number of awesome people, learned a lot about applied improv, and led my first facilitation for facilitators type training.
The 1on1 Coaching session went well and helped me solidify my own thoughts on the practice. All in all, a great extended weekend in Portland.
After careful deliberations and a few great conversations with myself and others, I’ve decided my number 1 priority for the remainder of the year is improv.
That means improv takes precedence over things like a book and even the humor site, although I will continue to work on those when possible. Then, once 2010 rolls around, I’ll re-evaluate the priorities yet again to make sure I’m focused on the most important tasks.
Between launching a new tool, defining my work for the next 2 years, and spending 8 hours a day in meetings, it was quite the work week. Fortunately I was able to survive with my head above water. That’s not to say this coming week won’t be busy, but it should be manageable.
