It was great to use the eLearning course when face to face as first, they understood the set up and how important of a resource it will be throughout the year. Secondly, through F2F discussions, the content in the eLearning course was much better understood. Kudos!

There is nothing like the very first time you staff develop.  You will be GREAT!  Do not stress, enjoy the good and the bad.  Things will go wrong and it's okay.  No one is perfect!  The best stories come from those oh no moments. Whatever you are giving the participants is more than they had before they came to SI.  Be yourself, be authentic, and be energetic.  Welcome to the best family there is!

I wonder how fast the pace will seem compared to DXP from the past two years.

I always felt like I was running with my hair on fire managing three screens and 60 - 80 people.

I'm hoping it "feels like home" and the world slows down a bit...
