Well it’s official. I’m going to New York in exactly two weeks (barely booked my flight today without paying double, whew). When I was in Toronto on Vacation a couple weeks ago--but hadn’t let anyone know in advance--I heard about it in a few emails, so this time I’m giving y’all notice :) Why am I going you ask?
A few months ago, I was in Seattle with some designer friends to hear Mary Knackstedt speak. One of the many brilliant things she said was “Never take a job you know you can’t do 80% with your eyes closed, or you won’t make any money” I’m sure this applies to any consultant out there as well but it really hit home with me. Designers are notorious for doing that! Mary has written many books but this one is required reading in design school:
Mary Knackstedt is also a consultant who works with interior designers. After 15 minutes on the phone with her today, I jumped on board for a year long course with her. Every since my dear friend Liz Stevenson passed away this past Spring, I have been looking for a new mentor (we all need one if we are going to be the best we can be) so here she is!!
I’ll be in New York a total of 4 times this upcoming year – I’m so excited! I love New York, I have only been there twice. Once in January [for a personal development course] where I froze!! And the second time in June a couple years ago for my 40th birthday! Yaay, I can’t wait!
Update on my trip to New York: Due to unforseen circumstances, my trip to New York has been postponed until October, dates tba. I've started my training with Mary though, so I'll be updating you periodically.
