More Tips on Hosting Great Conferences

Last month, I shared several observations I had from attending some really well-run conventions.

Revising the Resume

I've seen my fair share of "New Year, New You" posts going around Facebook and Twitter the past couple of weeks.

Setting the Perfect Resolutions

Planning on setting some resolutions for yourself this year? Hey, it's January 1, so now's the time if you are going to get to that activity. But how can you make these resolutions stick? According to this Forbes article and the University of Scranton, only 8% of people make their New Year's goals. As you sit down to plan ahead for the year (or review the plans you made this week), try some of these tactics.
