CADA 2013 60/60
So I had the chance to present at the 60/6o session at the Annual Convention for the California Association of Directors of Activities. Here is a more fleshed out version of my 10 ideas (the format is 6 presenters each sharing 10 ideas for a total of 60 ideas in 60 minutes):

Security Questions
So I had to establish an online account today for my business and found myself in the familiar spot of filling out username, password, and setting up a few security questions with answers in the event that I forget my username and password. It took me quite some time to figure out my security questions, […]

Super Bowl Power Outage
So you saw it too, right? 34 minutes of a blackout. Yep. 34 minutes. As every sports story mentioned today, it looked as if it was (almost) exactly what the 49ers needed. As a childhood fan, it was exciting to see them almost come back from the brink like they had done so many times […]

Plug-in to Progress
So fall is the time where I spend most of my days on the road and in hotels. Other than the difficulty in maintaining a regular fitness program, I’m pretty used to the travel at this point. Still, I do have my complaints. My biggest? The lack of electrical outlets. There are far too many […]
