The Speed of Trust

I'm at Summit Ridge Hotel right now for an overnight seminar on The Speed of Trust, one of the programs offered by FranklinCovey and a leadership book written by Stephen M. R. Covey. This is a new experience for me as I've never been to anything like this for work before. As the name says, it's all about trust, building it, restoring it and making it work for you on the level of Self, Relationships, Organizations, Market and Society. It's actually a good book too. Yep, I spent a number of nights trying to finish reading the book before the seminar.

So far, there are good things that I noticed and some bad things. I'm really trying to make the most of it. For the first part of the seminar, I "volunteered" for the trust fall activity, and I was picked to be table leader to help facilitate table discussions. So much for the chance to kick back and relax. Well, I actually enjoyed those moments.

Anyway, I am truly grateful for this experience. It's nice to be spending the night in a hotel. It's also nice to have all day long free wifi, flowing coffee, free meals, etc. It's really great meeting so many new people from the seminar.

I guess I just miss my wife and little boy.
