Spring is my busiest time of year. Well, fall too with the fun of planning for and being at Big E... but spring is filled with conferences, speaking engagements, trainings, tours, and the kick off of tourism season in New Hampshire. Not that I am complaining, as I always say, it's a hard job...but...someone has to do it.
Over the past week I've attended business meetings in
Portland Maine,
Meredith and
Portsmouth NH. With a quick 3 day Family trip to Washington DC (Our Grandkids got to meet with
NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen), The fun never stops and neither do I. I do, however, miss my 3
yoga classes a week, only getting in one, maybe two. Yoga grounds me and allows me the fortitude and capacity to do my job(s) as a Granite State Ambassador, entrepreneur, wife, mother, and grandmother.
As most people who know me know,
Granite State Ambassadors is my passion and I am really excited and looking forward to working for a new boss,
Gretchen Zeigler (pictured to my left). This will be the first time GSA, Inc. has had a new Board Chair in 14 years.
Bill Petersen (one of the organization's founders and a person I respect and LOVE working with) is transitioning from a leadership position to a board position, as well as, transitioning from a University Dean to a Pastor.
In my "side" job, I am loving speaking around the state and New England through my own company
311 Management Services. I've have been speaking a lot on Social Media. I am currently working on a training program for the
Inn at East Hill Farm. Sheri St. Laurent and her staff are ramping up for the summer season and have invited me in to give a presentation on how to be an "ambassador" for the Inn. I've invited Whitney Tyson, Granite State Ambassadors Programs Manager, to speak along with me so we can give the 1-2 punch of how they can accomplish this task on and off duty.
So, forgive me if I've been neglegent in writing my blog. I hope to be back soon.
All my best
Judi
