Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking to connect with others attending the same workshops or those interested in the types of sessions offered at the conference may find this discussion beneficial.

You are welcome Ivy! I think alot of the schedule questions will be answered closer to Conference Time - there will be a conference schedule posted and everyone who registers will also be mailed one.
This year the schedule is different than past years because of switching the Directors Event to the beginning - so I can't give you correct conf. schedule info at this time.:)

I think there have always been just 4 workshops.....and the reason they sound so much like the training cd's is because most of those are previous workshops that have been recorded!
Remember - there are general sessions that take up some of the time too

Excellent points, Becky. Thanks!

BTW, looks like we'll be in Cooking Show Live together on Monday!

Looks like I'm in a few sessions with you guys. This should be so much fun!

Wish we could have taken 5 classes, rather than 4! There was one more class that I wanted to take. Then again, if we were offered 5, they would probably offer more options, making it harder to choose :eek:

I went on the HO tour last year, but I wanted to go again. I'm hoping that the recruiting classes will help me with that big AHA moment that the good consultants seem to get. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

Home Office Tours 07/09/2007 07:00 AM - 11:30 AM

I can't wait Im so excited:) This is my 1st conf.:D

My workshop schedule is:

Fulfill Dreams: Develop Directors 7/10 2-3:15
Get it Together: Time Management & Organization 7/10 3:45-5
The Test Kitchens Cook 7/11 9-10:15

There is never enough time! Don't forget you also have to make time to FIND the people you are with since we all take different classes. It seems that even when we have made a plan of where to meet someone changes it at the last minute and causes more waiting for someone else - that is my biggest frustration with going with a group. Well, that, and Travel Planners - but that's another thread.


National Conference is an awesome experience that will enhanse your business!! I look forward to it all year!:D :D
 
It always seems like there are so many more workshops that I want to take than I have time for!

I have:
Contact with Confidence
Cooking Show Live A
Recruiting: From Maybe to Yes B
Bookings Galore B

If the test kitchen workshop is anything like the one at Leadership, then it'll be GREAT! (For those of you taking it). I really enjoyed that one in Dallas.

Cool Deal!!! Last year I was so dazed becasue I wasnt' sure if I was going to be able to get on it or not..... !!
 
Is there somewhere in Consultant's Corner where you can view your schedule? I was so overwhelmed and unprepared at registration that I just picked the stuff I wanted and forgot to write it down. I do think I am in the 8am HO tour. Will we get some confirmation of all this stuff? I registered on the very first day of registration and have not gotten anything in the mail.

Thanks,
Rachel
 
If you go back into registration, you'll be able to view what you picked.

Ok, I just saw I took a time management class and now I am wondering why?! I know I could be better committed becuase I am certainly not getting work done but reading these posts. Hmmm, I should see if I could change since I took both of the previous ones.
 
I finally got registered!I'm a SO excited :D

Ok - here is my schedule:
HO Tour 7/9 7am

Sell the Dream C 7/9 1pm

Cooking Show Live! B 7/10 2pm

Looks like several of us are going on HO Tour together - do they serve us breakfast? Since we have to be on the bus at 6:30, I figure I'd better be in line first thing for registration ...

And Ann, are we in Bookings Galore together?

Did I say I'm SO excited?!? :D :D :D

Yes, you'll get a boxed something on the bus. Usually it's lunch during lunch time, but I don't know what they'll give for breakfast. You'll get something though.:)
 
I believe that I was on the very first tour of the day when I took it a few years back. They actually gave us a box lunch. So you'll probably want to take a muffin or something with you just in case.
 
Yahoo, changing my class was easy. I sent an e-mail to registration telling them I needed to change one class and which one and they sent me a message back saying it was done.

I am so excited! Every year I get more excited. I believe this is my 4th going and I get more excited every year.
