Kathy's Connection

EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITATOR SPEAKS AT 29TH ANNUAL EMPLOYMENT CONFERENCE IN ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON

Scott Ginsberg, The Name Tag Guy, and I drove three hours to the conference. We have known each for some time and routinely keep in touch. Yet, we were looking forward to the day we spoke at the same conference. The time had come.

Eight hundred people gather at Central Washington University to learn and reconnect with colleagues. Scott gave the keynote presentation on "The Power of Approachability." The next morning I presented on the "Basics of Intergenerational Communications."

After we were both done presenting, we got back in the car for the drive back to Portland, Oregon. We decided to go through White Pass. We turned a corner and there before was Mt. Rainer -- the sun shining on its' peak.

When I dropped Scott off at the friend's house he was staying, we hugged and smiled. The road trip provided hours of time to share ideas and see new things. The conference helped us both grow in different ways. Yet, most importantly we connected and shared...that is what networking is all about.
