Every day is a chance to learn

We're never too old to learn and we don't have to wait until the beginning of another school year to tackle learning new skills or absorbing new facts and information. There are varied thoughts on ways to acquire needed knowledge and information that is pertinent to the work we do and I wouldn't begin to issue an opinion on what might be the most effective.

But I did have an opportunity to sit in on a what proved to be enlightening in terms of the exchange of ideas and information, participant excitement, and generation of solutions and ideas. These were aimed at assisting individuals at the gathering identify effective solutions to their marketing challenges and questions.

I believe that a group of individuals sitting around a table and brainstorming can be among the most valuable tool any of us can access. Last Friday's Marketing Conversation was the perfect example of people working together to generate ideas not only for themselves but for others in the group as well. They all realized that when one is successful, we are all more successful. Great work and thanks to our marketers: Linda Gentry, Carla Ayers and Gaynor Mielke.
