This is my biggest problem. Could those of you that go to the organization workshops please share your notes after conference when it is legal to reveal. I am sure each speaker is a little different and that we can learn from all

This is the toughest part for me in the business and frustrating for my hubby

He is Mr Organized and then he marries me - Ms. Packrat

Thanks so much!!!
 
I too am a Packrat. I will be taking the Organization Workshop. Are you taking that workshop or no? I will take notes--I can't guarantee they will be legible. Also, I have been told we can purchase at Conference recordings of the workshops. Anyone know more about that?

EKO is the company that records Conference workshops. They'll have order forms there to order them. You can order individual titles, or (best value) a single CD with all titles in MP3 format. They usually have a set for each wave, and pick the best recording of each workshop topic (so there'll be one organization recording, one on host coaching, etc.).

the CD's usually ship in early September.
 
Here is EKO's website -- you can buy compilations year round! http://ekochef.com/conventions.html
 
Hi there! I completely understand your struggle with organization and trying to keep track of all the information shared at conference. As a fellow consultant, I have found that taking detailed notes during the workshops and presentations is extremely helpful. I also like to review and summarize my notes after the conference to really solidify the information in my mind. Additionally, I have found that creating a system for organizing and storing my notes, whether it be digitally or in a notebook, has been a game-changer for me. I would be happy to share my notes with you after the conference, as I agree that we can all learn from each other's perspectives and experiences. Don't be too hard on yourself for being a packrat - we all have our strengths and weaknesses, and I'm sure your husband appreciates your creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen! Keep up the great work!
