It’s a Wrap! The Closing Keynote Address of NALS 2009
The closing keynote address was given by Lisa Marie Platske of Upside Thinking, Inc. She gave a presentation entittled:
The Power of Motivation: Increasing Your Sphere of Influence
- Motivation: increasing one’s desire to work to the best of one’s ability
- Motivation is internal…we choose where we are going.
- schedule time to get to know yourself
- Don’t treat others as you want to be treated, treat them as they want to be treated
- Attitude is your outlook, how you see challenges, how you view the world & determines your altitude in life.
- Do you know what your attitude says about you?
- If you always do what what you have always done, you will get what you always get
My closing thoughts on NALS09 and my experience
The past few days have been amazing, in the true sense of the word. I had a great time! I will admit that I was nervous going into the conference. I had never attended a conference. I didn’t know what to expect and the perfectionist in me was having a major panic attack. But, as I have been saying all along, everyone at NALS was so friendly and inviting. They took me under their wings, made me feel at home and many people introduced themselves by saying they follow me on Twitter, which made me feel special.
As for tweeting the conference, I had a blast doing it!! I would love to do it again for other conferences (ABA Techshow, are you listening?!). NALS10 is going to be in Branson, MO and I really hope to be there tweeting and blogging away.
