Nancy Black's Organization Plus Blog: A Veteran's Experience at NAPO Conference

Nancy Black's Organization Plus Blog: A Veteran's Experience at NAPO Conference

A Veteran's Experience at NAPO Conference

(Excerpts from NAPO/NE Newsletter article with minor edits.)

This year I attended my 19th NAPO Conference.

While riding in the van from the airport to the hotel, I met a mother and daughter who have an organizing business in Bogotá. In one session, I sat next to an organizer from Hong Kong. In an elevator, I met the president of the Australian Association of Professional Organizers. Other attendees were from Canada, Japan, Bermuda, and The Netherlands. Obviously, people all over the world have organizing challenges!

The theme of this year's conference was "Innovate, Connect and Inspire."

Tim Sanders, former Chief Solutions Officer for Yahoo, shared his vision for innovation as it relates to our personal responsibility for social consciousness and business growth.

Gina Schreck, the Geek Chick, addressed connections vis-à-vis the value of technology and communications in the business environment.

Monica Wofford spoke about how "Contagious Confidence" can inspire you to be the absolute best you can be.

I also attended other sessions that have enhanced my professional growth.

The highlight for me was being recognized as a 20 Year Golden Circle member.

Reduce Stress: Plan Ahead for 4th of July

Celebrate Independence Day - July 4th: Declare Your Independence

While most of us are celebrating this day with barbecues, parades, fireworks, etc., our armed forces are fighting to preserve our freedom.

Take a moment of silence to acknowledge their sacrifices to preserve our freedom. Whenever you see someone in uniform say "thank you."

Every year I attend the rehearsal of the Boston Pops Esplanade Concert. It is wonderful to see thousands of people celebrating the 4th.

Highlights of the evening are a sing along of "This Land Is Your Land;" the unfurling of our flag, with the music of "Stars and Stripes Forever;" and the exhilarating sounds of the "1812 Overture," with the cannons going off.

Real Results: Declare Your Independance

Declare Your Independence in time for this 4th of July

Clients who have declared their independence have told me...

"Being organized is so liberating."

"Working with us to identify where our time goes has been invaluable in scheduling work and personal activities that relate to our values."

"I am feeling very empowered, as if organization might be something I will be able to maintain in my life. You have helped me to feel lighter."
