Hey, Gang! 

Welcome to a reprise of one of our most popular shows from the past! I trust you will enjoy this timeless content ... 

Our topic today is "4 Things We Can All Learn  from a Learning Experience."  By learning experience, I'm referring to a convention, conference, or training program. 

I just returned from the National Speakers' Association Conference in Washington, DC: Influence 2015.  I've been in the professional speaking business for 23 years, and this was my 15th convention.  Is it time wasted?  Absolutely not! 

There are nuggets to take away from each of these gatherings and ways that they make me better at what I do.  Next weekend I'll be in Fort Worth for the Podcast Movement 15 conference, and I'll be looking to learn more!

Here are some things we can learn from these experiences:

  • It's good to be around "the best of the best."  Being influenced by these top people from various fields gives inspiration and affirmation to what we do.
  • There is ALWAYS something new to learn.  I'm even learning how to use new technology to engage more listeners!
  • Take advantage of every opportunity to teach what you've learned.  No matter your age, you have an audience that can learn from your experiences, so don't be shy!
  • There are important connections to be made with the other people there.  Your life can be greatly enriched by these connections.

I hope you are inspired to attend conferences and training when possible, and learn, learn, learn!

Listener Question of the Week:  What's the one thing we can do, that we might not have thought of, or might not have come to our mind, that can make us more successful in sales?
