We were both pretty excited about having the opportunity to take what we do every day and put it into action. <em>(Full disclosure: as moms, having a hotel room all to ourselves was an added bonus on this adventure.)\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\nAny trade show or expo is a fun place to meet people and snag some cool giveaways, but at the end of the day, it\u2019s important to focus on the takeaways.<br \/>\nSo, what exactly did we take away from this experience?<br \/>\n<strong>Nothing compares to meeting live and in person.<\/strong> Not only were we able to put faces to the many voices on the other end of the line, but we made new friends. And these new friends got a visual of what it is we do, more so than just in print or by word of mouth. They got us.<br \/>\n<strong>Not everyone knows you. And that\u2019s ok.<\/strong> We\u2019re not going to lie. The first time someone we met hadn\u2019t heard of us, it was a little discouraging and maybe even a little intimidating. Rather than letting this get us down, rather than hearing the words \u201cWho are you?\u201d, we heard a knocking sound. We were able to quickly follow up the unexpected with our enthusiasm and a positive discussion.<br \/>\n<strong>Understand your \u201cwhy.\u201d<\/strong> All of our team had the opportunity to sit in on sessions, but an inspiring one specifically was with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bogisgarage.com\/allgirlsgarage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bogi<\/a>\u00a0from \u201cAll Girls Garage\u201d on finding why you do whatever it is you do in your industry. For us, we\u2019re darn good at what we do by being particularly focused on our customers &#8211; our why.<br \/>\nWe both came back from the show with a new-found energy and passion. Tapping into this, we\u2019d like to leave you with a challenge:<br \/>\nYou get up and go to work every day. You serve your customers and you do your job. But why do you do it? What makes you feel good after each interaction and what can you do better? As a leader, your why applies to more than just you. We challenge you to ask yourself and your team these questions. Really put some thought into it and make sure that you hold your team and yourself accountable, too. By digging a little deeper, you might just find that source of renewed energy &#8211; and see a shift in the culture of your business.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3165\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/AVA_RU_LZientek.jpg\" alt=\"AVA_RU_LZientek\" width=\"144\" height=\"144\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3122\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_MFerkovich-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_MFerkovich\" width=\"144\" height=\"144\" \/><em>With two authors, this article is a little extra special.
