It was so much fun - and I learned so much too!

Loved the workshop with Lyn Conway!

Also had a good workshop for Sell The Dream......I was sitting w/ my senior director at that one, and right in the middle of it, I had my Ah Ha moment! It was so much fun to get to talk to her about it after the workshop, and she was so encouraging and helpful.........and just hung out with me for awhile. I'm so thankful that I have such an incredible upline - from my director on up!

The Tech workshop was very helpful too, and I think gave me the courage to take the plunge and start using P3!
 
The bookings galore class was great!!! I can't remember the girls names though. I took about 3-4 pages of notes!

Which one did you have? My recruit had that workshop and said she got some great ideas. I was in the Day 3 session of the topic (the one that was moved from one "end of the earth" room to another), and also got some great info.

My flight was scheduled to leave at 4:20. I left the conference about 5-10 minutes early to beat the crowd. My express bus was supposed to pick me up at 1:25. It got there at about 2:00. I did pay the $10 to check my luggage and get my boarding pass at conference (long line but well worth it!) Made it with plenty of time to get through security and eat lunch there. Unfortunaltey, my flight was delayed for HOURS! That should be a whole other thread! Hope that helps! I guess it just depends on how you're getting to the airport.

(Little tiny hijack)

Hey Ellen! Glad you got home safe and sorry it was sooo long. It was great to meet you!

(Ok - back to our regularly scheduled thread)

Yep, I was in that room (I think), only mine was on Day 2 (the second session). It was two girls and tons of ideas.

So glad to meet you too! What are the chances that we randomly sat right next to eachother!? Pretty cool!
 
Another quick question from a Wave 3 attendee - was there a cost for the baggage check-in at McCormick? Our group is looking into this and we didn't see anything mentioned on the McCormick website.

TIA!

Mary
 
I'm pretty sure it was free if they were just holding it. (correct me if I'm wrong) If you want to check it and get your boarding pass so all you do is go to the airport, go thru security and be done, it only cost $10. It was well worth it but a long line so get there early the 3rd day or go get breakfast and eat it in line.
 
Anyone care to share like highlighted notes or bullet points from Sell the Dream workshop? My plane came in late and I missed my first class!? :( TIA!

I had Michelle Anderson and Julie Pettijohn. I got tons of stuff out of that class. Also out of High Impact Host Coaching.

Well, all of them, really.
 
Ohhh Becky!!!we never did settle on a price to keep it quiet. Now, how much am I being paid to keep quite!!??? Just kidding! Loved meeting you!

It was fun. I gotta tell you all. It was so much more fun this year at conference because I actually ran into so many Cheffers!

Did anyone else get asked how you knew so many people? I did, Memebership should be going up again! I think I wrote out www.chefsuccess.com on the back of about 30 business cards! I told them it was such a fun way to share and get to know alot of cool people and that it made it much more fun at conference because we know so many people here!

We're gonna have a really BIG Party next year, that's for sure!
Hey, one of my upline had a suite at the Hilton! Maybe a bunch of us should do that next year so we can really party?

To get those through Travel Planners, you have to be an upper-level Director (I think actually an Exec or above).

That's my director, sucks I couldn't be there again this year, this is the second year in a row she has taught a class, last year I think she did a cooking show live, but not positive. I haven't talked to her in a while, and I think the last meeting I was at was January, it is just too far to travel for me and usually I have end up working on the days they are having them, ughh!

She was great. And wow! What energy! I can imagine how she would have been at Cooking Show Live! I'd love to go to one of her shows :D
 
I took Bookings Galore with Sharon McCreary. It was very good. Some of you have heard this line, but I'll share it with those of you who haven't.
"When we work is flexible, not optional." ... meaning, work when you want and can, but work!

Oh yeah, she is perky, isn't she, sometimes I just want to ask her how she is just so friggin perky, I think it's all the coffee and diet soda, lol, I wonder if she was as nervous this time as she was last time, I guess I will just have to ask, huh?!
