Enhancing Quality Staff Conference

On May 20th, I was fortunate to be able to attend the Enhancing Quality Staff conference in Minneapolis. This was my second year attending the conference and I found it as interesting as the first year. I went to five sessions and they were all very interesting. One of the things that I enjoy about this conference is the idea that in order to be a good and productive employee that you need to continue your education in a well rounded fashion, not only in matters that pertain exactly to your job.
The sessions I attended were:
- Dealing with Difficult Situations: Satisfying Customers and Keeping your Sanity
- Extreme Googling: Productivity Tools for Your Online Life
- What is so Theraputic About Horticulture?
- Thinking Outside the Pizza Box: Practical Nutrition for Busy Adults
- One Upon a Time in the Universe: Teaching with Stories
They were all very interesting and I feel that I learned something in each of them. One of the things I found most interesting was in the session on practical nutrition. The woman teaching the class claimed that the simplest guide to good eating was to fill your plate half full of fruits and veggies, then one quarter grain and one quarter protein and to have a glass of milk with it. I thought that this sounded like a very easy diet plan to follow.
This conference was overall very interesting and I hope to attend it again in the future.
