My 15-½ year old son Ryan has started driving and it's a scary thought. I reflect fondly on the times when Ryan was just a little guy. He's also pondering colleges, which has me thinking about the importance of education.
He's smart and at his age knows more about history and other things than I ever did. I've often said I have graduated from the School of Hard Knocks...and I have. These days, in this challenging economy, it seems the knocks are coming harder.
Through the years I have pursued professional development and that has served me well. There is a value to continuing education. In this issue we touch on education opportunitys that will give you a competitive advantage in today's marketplace.
In January you have two great trade shows that are packed with relevant education classes you can benefit from. The ASI Show in Orlando and the PPAI Expo in Las Vegas. The Bill O'Reilly and James Carville keynote debate in Orlando should be very interesting! There is still time to make plans to attend the show of your choice!
