Congratulations New CMPs

I have crossed paths during their preparation through a mixture of my 16-hour virtual classes, my two-day in-person classes, the MPI Global Master Class, my videos, and some random conversations. I am very proud and happy for you, and it means a lot to have been part of your journey.
Things That Interest Me...and Maybe You

Scratch and Sniff Wallpaper
I don’t know….

Planners Past Their Breaking Point
This is probably not a surprise to any planner out there. I have heard so many of these statements in the past two years. We need to be worried because good experienced people are leaving---not just their jobs, but the industry.

Hotels with Day Rates at Airports
Another one that does not mean what you first think.

Humor
What can you safely laugh at these days?
 

Pictures from the May CMP Class!
Make sure to keep reading my EGuides to find out when the next class will be!
Things That Interest Me...and Maybe You (Part 2)

What Can a Good Leader Do Now?
Written by a friend of mine. What I really liked is talking about how things need to be more conversational. Anyone who knows me knows I believe that.
 
A New Security Risk?
Does your security allow someone to reach the person on stage?
 
Trader Joe’s Fancy Schmancy Flower arrangement
We all want to arrange beautiful flowers right?
 
Hidden Bars
How fun!
 
Hotel Tax-Rate Changes Likely Coming in Several Big Cities
CMP Fellows Inaugural Class  
 
EIC just announced their first class of CMP Fellows. I am pleased to say at least four of them sat in my CMP classes---all over 10 years ago, but I am still happy for them!

Why Should You Join My CMP Community? Reason 1

I have recently been contacted about sharing two job opportunities with my network, and I have decided to post this information, along with all future job opportunities, in my online CMP community.

If you are looking for a new job or trying to find an experienced professional to fill a position, my CMP community is an excellent resource for you! As a community member, you have access to a whole page dedicated to job search. Here, members can post job listings, discover new job opportunities, or even post job inquiries for a specific location.

Request to join my CMP community today! Reminder, only people who have taken a class with me, either directly through my company or through another organization, are eligible to join.
