Presenting at the East Meets West Conference in Collingwood

After having been away for almost three weeks in Europe, we landed on Canadian soil safe and sound, praise God! We arrived home at 3pm, Toronto time and off we went to attend Anita and Clarence's daughter's wedding. Happy that we didn't have any problems with our flight connections and could make it back on time. After the wedding reception on Saturday evening, we had to get up at 6a.m. and drove for 2 hours to the Living Water Resort in Collingwood, Ontario for a conference where I presented a workshop on a topic related to communication.

I had already planned and collaborated with Melissa before leaving for our European trip. So everything was ready beforehand. On the flight back, I did some final editing on my power point and was able to get everything ready. There was a good turnout at the conference. The organizers accommodated my schedule by putting me as the last speaker in their last timeslot so that I would not miss the presentation due to our overseas trip. My workshop went well and people seemed to enjoy my presentation.

Instead of sitting passively listening to me, the audience was divided into eight groups and they were given instructions on how to practise what they had just learned. Incorporating this interactive hands on session worked well with the conference participants as we could hear enthusiastic discussions and cheers coming from different corners of the hall. Nothing made me happier than seeing the participants being engaged and were actively involved with what they were doing. So glad that we were able to get home on time and delivered this workshop as promised to the conference chair! After the workshop, we drove down to Barrie to visit my best friend whom we have not seen for a few months. Really looking forward to it! RT, Collingwood, Ontario, Canada 06152024
