Perfect Days

By Chris Barrow on 2 July 2009

DSC03932 Perfect Days​

There are days when it all just goes according to plan:

  • the hotel is in the right location
  • the traffic doesn’t snarl up
  • the room is airy, well-lit and air-conditioned
  • the room layout is correct
  • the organisers do a great job of hosting (thank you Practice Plan)
  • the guests are all in the mood
  • the speaker manages to hold the room
  • the material is interesting and relevant to the needs of the audience
  • there is a “can do” atmosphere

Yesterday was such a day in Bury.

Over 115 delegates attended possibly one of my best ever workshops.

The feedback at the conclusion was unanimously positive.

Plenty of practices leaving the workshop with 90-day goals and a 24-month plan to galvanise their marketing.

A chance for me to say “hello” to some old friends.

And the bonus – my youngest daughter Ellie attending as a work-experience day.

You know what?

It doesn’t get any better.
