One Way to Turn Over-whelm into Practical Takeaways
at Your Next Professional Development Conference

You’re attending an industry conference or professional development event, and are fired up with ALL THE IDEAS. You want to do all the ideas right away.

And you know that doing everything, everywhere, all at once isn’t realistic.

So what should you do? How do you take action and get the best ROI without overwhelming yourself, your team, or worse of all, not doing anything?

Here’s one tip that works wonders: A mini-personal experiment.

Learn more about mini-personal experiments in our book, Courageous Cultures: How to Build Teams of Micro-Innovators, Problem Solvers and Customer Advocates.

How to do a mini-personal experiment

Pick one practical, measurable change in your approach (it could be a habit, a new process or a technique), that meets these criteria:

1. DOABLE. You can make a difference within 30 days (daily habits work best)

2. VALUABLE. This new habit, process, or technique would add significant value (e.g. to your results, to your team, to your well being)

3. MEASURABLE. You will be able to measure how it worked.

Then make a plan.

What’s the experiment, what will you do, how will you measure? Bonus networking points if you find an accountability partner you did not know before and schedule a 15 and 30-day check-in to talk about how it’s going.
