Journal of today’s activities:

I made final preparation to complete an agenda to guide me through the first of four training days for the Straight-A Guide. I’ve spent a considerable number of hours working on this project. I developed a series of 31 slides in a PowerPoint presentation, some group exercises, and a case study assignment. I’m looking forward to working with the large group in San Jose. I’ve never led a four-day workshop before and I’m looking forward to the challenge. It’s my hope that the group participants will derive some meaning from the lessons that I’ve designed. If I succeed, the group members will develop more tools that will enhance effectiveness in their personal lives and in their careers.  Immediately following my presentation, I’ll drive to the San Jose airport. I’m scheduled to board a flight for Los Angeles. I have a few days of meetings in the Los Angeles area, then I’ll return home. Much work ahead.
