This week has been absolutely insane as I’ve been getting everything ready for the big Utah Valley University Woodbury School of Business Fall National Advisory Board\u00a0Conference this Thursday and Friday. As the Chair of the board\u00a0I can attest that putting a board conference together is\u00a0SO much more work than\u00a0you’d\u00a0ever imagine. It’s a lot like having to plan a wedding reception and a board meeting at the same time – you’ve got the big opening dinner event with all the setup of tables and chairs, linens,\u00a0flowers, place cards, food, and entertainment. Then you have the next day board meeting with all the presentation slide decks, A\/V, lining up speakers, handling the meals and table setups and the list goes on and on….<\/p>\n
Getting ready for\u00a0this conference we’ve had about everything that could go wrong, go wrong. It has been like a comedy of issues hitting us, one right another. Each time I put out\u00a0one fire another one\u00a0has\u00a0already been lit somewhere and its burning brightly by the time I get to it. And to make matters more complicated,\u00a0yesterday our email hosting service provider went down and we lost email for almost 24 hours right at\u00a0a critical point.\u00a0And that is just the beginning of what I’ve dealt with this week. If I sat and listed everything that’s gone wrong you wouldn’t even believe me. And that, my friends, is why I got only three hours sleep last night\u00a0and its not looking like I’ll get much more tonight.\u00a0But you know what – it’s going to be a dang good conference!!!<\/p>\n
“Make your comebacks stronger than your setbacks.”\u00a0 That’s my motto this week. When the going gets tough you gotta toughen up! Make it happen. Figure it out. And if possible…sleep.<\/p>\n
