Chicago | workshopping me


I've been in Chicago since Wednesday evening for a conference on Connected Learning for work. I'm still brand spanking new to the education policy world, so it has been an especially interesting experience. Within the context of the intense workshops, I've learned as much about myself as the topic at hand. Here are a few of the things I've learned... 
  • I am capable. 
  • I know more than I vocalize. 
  • I am funny - my wit is ignited around intellect, senses of humor, and open spaces. 
  • I'm comfortable leading the charge. 
  • I love public speaking. 
  • I draw within myself when someone takes unilateral control without encouraging others' voices. 
  • I love to learn; I'm a fast learner. 
  • I have a huge amount of potential to be great when I'm engaged. (As I write a blog post during a session.)
  • Chicago is Gotham City. 
  • Stuffed, deep-dish pizza is life-altering. 
What have you learned about yourself this week?
