I had an exciting time at the RSA convention this week. I’ve not had the opportunity to train at that convention in several years. I’m always so inspired by the passion this group has for the skating industry.
It’s always fun to get together with like-minded folks and try to figure out how to do things better. My daughter and hubby came with me. It’s funny how my family enjoys the work I do when it’s in Vegas or associated with a nice beach! It’s barely May and my groom has accompanied me to Hawaii and Vegas this year!
People can be so kind. I was surprised that my session was packed. There were 2 other terrific classes going on at the same time; and I was sure that my crowd would be small. I was delighted that there were so many in attendance. It was an interactive lively group who had many good things to interject. I wish I would have had more time.
The biggest surprise though came from two sweet women who know our company very well. They use our products and follow the blog. Those of you that enjoy our newsletter on a regular basis know a bit about my personal family journey. JD, my husband has battled cancer and is winning that war in a big way. As JD and I walked down to the room for the presentation we bumped into Diane and after class I met Darla who I had not met in person. When I introduced them to JD their reaction to him and his health brought me to tears.
Their enthusiasm, their unbridled hugs, and their tears where so special to me and to Jerry. It was precious. JOY… that’s the only way I can describe it. It’s so wonderful to be part of an industry where family matters so much!
As I end my day on the quiet part of the plane ride home and reflect back on this trip the best thing best thing I can say to my skating friends is “ROLL ON” and thank you for inviting TrainerTainment to be a part of your annual event!
