Ada Walton

Well, we're two weeks back into the work cycle since the holidays and chances are a co-worker has asked you if you've made any resolutions. How do you respond?

Historically, I've been terrible at keeping resolutions. It's almost as if by making a resolution, I'm gauranteeing that I will break it. That is, if I can decide which resolutions to make in the first place. So this year, my resolution is to make a few that I can follow in a part of my life I enjoy focusing on- my career.

We spend 40-plus hours working a week; not counting those weeks when you practically live in the office or are on-site for a conference or convention. That's a lot of time! In many cases, I spend more time with my co-worker than I do my family and friends. My guess is that you also find yourself in this position. >>

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going to Napa Valley and San Francisco for a long weekend to celebrate a dear friend's upcoming wedding. For years I've wanted to visit the region, scope out the beautiful venues and wander through vineyards- this trip was all of that and more.

Not a day goes by that there isn't a message in my inbox about a mobile event app making its debut- they're incredibly hot right and with good reason. For the tech saavy, it's an exciting time to be a planner. The app customization options are endless, utilizing them drastically reduces paper and printing costs and it's got that irresistable shiny/cool/buzzworthy factor. >>

A couple weeks ago, I zipped up my computer bag, stuffed a few casual outfits into a carry-on, braved my way through two flights, and after an hour long shuttle ride up a mountainside, I arrived at the lovely Peaks A Grand Heritage Resort & Spa in Telluride, CO, for SPINCon2012.
