Directing Fall Conference

I’m directing Fall Conference for my work this weekend. Sheesh. What a task. I don’t know if I feel overwhemled, stressed, or excited to be part of such a big event. Maybe it’s all of the above.

It’s been the spiritual aspect of directing that I’ve enjoyed the most. I feel that it has been missing somewhat, from past conferences we’ve done. Maybe I’ve always just wanted it more at the forefront of what we do instead of simply in the background. Well, I get to change things a bit this time… and sink or swim, I get to own part of it.

I’m sure my flaws, weaknesses, and blind spots as a leader or being revealed through this process as much as anything else. The problem is… I’m blind to them, so I can’t do anything about them, especially this late in the game. I guess that’s where a co-director would have been useful. Hmm. I guess everything comes back to the filter that is LAUP.

Leslie pointed out something yesterday that I’ll have to spend some more time thinking about: I do love my job. I don’t stop and think about that very often.
