This was my first time attending this conference and visiting New Orleans. It was great to see some familiar faces from other conferences, meet some long-time online colleagues in person, and get to know a number of new folks. I enjoy smaller conferences like this where there’s more opportunities to talk and network.

Kindness makes the world a better place. Take a coworker out to lunch, or have a virtual coffee over Zoom. Volunteer to help plan a learning event, such as a conference for the Training, Learning, and Development Community. When we’re kind to others, we get a serotonin boost that makes us feel happy and energized.
