Stampin’ Up! Canadian Business Conference – my final thoughts

Hi Stampers

The conference is now over but I wanted to share some thoughts with you before I forget them.

There has always been the “myth” (in my mind) that Stampin’ Up! events are special.   I have attended convention and regional events and they were awesome.   However this was this first event that I have been invited to as a leader (ok… an up and coming leader;))     Being in a room with 80 people with the same passion and drive is electrifying.

Day 1

Belinda Ellsworth motivated us with her key note speech on Direct Sales and Adrian Hampshire got us thinking of life and balance….add in some quizzes, a make and take and day 1 was over.

Day 2

Consisted of presentations from some of the top Demonstrators in Canada… they were all inspiring and left us all pumped for the future.   Now it is up to us to make it happen.   Of course a Stampin’ Up! event isn’t complete without some creative time.   We made 3 cute cards that will appear in a class in the future.:)

The organizers had some great ideas… assigned seating  (different for both days) encouraged us to meet others, dinners at a variety of restaurants with facilitators.    It kept the conversations flowing and encouraged communications.     There were 4 different options for dinner and we pre selected where we wanted to eat each night.    The night the Conference was over, 45 of us headed to the CN tower for dinner… we rotated in the fog and had a wonderful time.

My big take-away from the event was how encouraging , helpful, warm and supportive the other Demonstrators were.   I heard over and over that if we support each other individually it makes us all better as a whole.    LOVE THAT!

Can’t wait for the next event… more on that another day.

In the meantime, I have some pictures to share with you.
