The entire experience was first-rate! G. Zelitzky
The best part is having the ease of taking part in the teleconference no matter where I had to be that day. A. Tsakanikas
The teleconference was absolutely "outstanding"
The tool kit as well as yours and Beth's comments were excellent !
Teleconferencing is far more efficient and much less expensive than the alternative.
Thank you, J. Whitworth
I think the teleconference format is very convenient...in fact, I actually listened to one of the conferences while driving back from a meeting with Army representative. Registering and attending is always super easy. R. Alexander
Was impressed with the registration process. Getting the toolkit link was easy. Download was easy. Dialing in was flawless. Very easy process. Name withheld as requested
Registration was easy, conference was valuable. I'll definitely attend other ones.

Greetings!
I have an embarrassment of riches. Two weeks ago I was inducted into the Circle of Excellence as a result of receiving the Top 100 Women in Maryland Award for the third (and final) time. And last week the U.S. Small Business Administration saw fit to award me as the Women in Business Champion for the State of Maryland for the volunteer work I have done on behalf of small businesses.
My cup overfloweth --- and I am grateful and humbled by the acknowledgements. As a child of the oh-so-typical dysfunctional family, I realize my psychology has pushed me so that I could get the pat on the back, the "attagirl", the "good job!" but the lessons learned along the way have been truly priceless. Maybe you recognize some of these lessons too:
There is no crying in contracting
Gaming the system is for losers
Honest wins are celebration-worthy
Honest losses are powerful lessons
Doing the right thing is the only way
Mentoring builds character in both people
Healthy competition is invigorating
Accepting responsibility is rare
Whiners seek out other whiners
Doers seek out other doers
and.....Sleeping well is a wonderful reward
Every day I give thanks for the gifts given to me: the clients who are wonderful, the staff that always goes the extra mile, colleagues I can count on, the ever-supportive friends (no-matter what), a family's love and a husband who is a true partner in life. I am one lucky gal.
May your luck also be good, your successes many, and your sleep, sound.
