Does “I did it!” ever lose its gratification? It hasn’t yet for me. A few nights ago, I watched through my kitchen window, a mother with the back of her child’s shirt scrunched up in her hand. She was running beside a young girl, helping her balance what was quite obviously her very first two-wheeler bike ride — no training wheels. As they reached the driveway across from my house I heard the young girl exclaim, “I did it!”
It gave me pause and I began to think about some “I did it!” moments in my life that came courtesy of VoiceCon. Like living through my first VoiceCon – it was in 2003 — when a blizzard almost made us cancel the event. Or the first time a session drew more people than we had chairs. The first event in which I trained the whole operations team. The launch of the VoiceCon Tour, VoiceCon Amsterdam, the attendee party this past VoiceCon Orlando, the list goes on and on. Wow, I get to say, “I did it!”
Of course, I don’t really do it on my own. It takes the entire team for VoiceCon to have successes. But this is my post and the not-so-secret among those that know me is I love to say: “I did it!”
The VoiceCon team is well into the preparation cycle for our upcoming virtual event. The VoiceCon community is voting with their mouse clicks and the vote is that the virtual event program is of value — registration is very strong. If you haven’t been able to register yet, I hope you will. At the end of day on June 10, you’ll log out of the VoiceCon virtual event with valuable information you won’t get anywhere else. You can use that information to create another “I did it!” moment in your career. I’ll be celebrating with you…virtually of course.
