Why go to a Personal Growth Conference?

Probably one of the best pieces of advice we can give is that you should always be investing in your own knowledge and personal growth. A great way to do this is to get involved with local conferences that you find valuable. Here are a couple things to keep in mind when you are at a conference:

1. Learn and Take Action – It is easy to go to a conference and learn about someone’s experience in a particular field. However, you need to walk away with 1 or 2 actions steps you can take afterwards to begin making progress towards your goals.
2. Get Inspired – Really pay close attention to the speaker’s experience and what they are trying to convey to you. Try to sit closer to the front to get the most out of the event and maybe even get to ask a question in order to clarify how to use the new, often life changing, strategies or knowledge discussed.
3. Network – Networking becomes a lot less awkward at these events because people are much more open to discussion and there is already an icebreaker in place – the presentation! Bring your business cards just in case you connect with someone after the presentation.
4. Set new goals – Certain conferences can be life changing. Take advantage of this momentum and set new goals if needed. You’ll likely come back to your daily routine feeling refreshed and empowered.
