When I looked outside the window this morning, it was snowing, a typical winter day.
Inside, it was an action packed day, the first day of the three-day summit of PowerSkills 2021.
There were 17 events scheduled for today, including Keynotes, Workshops, Webinars, and Interviews.
I attended 4 of them.
Renaissance Man Talks Reinvention and Resilience Balarama Holness
How to Reach Peak State for your Next Career Adventure Marcos Carvalho
Ma pratique en développement de carrière auprès des autochtones du nord du Québec – Une conversation avec Sophie Mathers
Wayfinding: Cracking Your Personal Career Code Through Reflection Darlene Hnatchuk and Jan Bottomer
My favorite is #2. My first try in French is #3. I am glad that I am getting used to listening to French without being distracted too much, except that I did doze off a bit as I was listening to the interview in bed.
Here are a few quotes I love from the keynote speech(#2).
If you do not take control of your life, someone else will.
A fulfilling life can only be achieved if we are our authentic selves.
We became what we repeatedly do.
You become what you think about.
Just one positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.
It was an interactive keynote speech. Lots of messages in the chat during the session. I promoted this article from my blog. Not only it had more than 20 instant views, my blog also received a validation from one of the organizers: great wealth of resources and thoughtful insight and perspective.
Thank you, Valerie Ndiweni.
I also attended my first Toastmasters meeting in French in the evening.
It was indeed an action-packed day!
