Six Ways to Spark Action After Conference

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

You came to learn and now you can act as a change agent in your organization to reap the benefits of what the ASHHRA conference is all about. Implement change and motivate yourself and others to be the change agents your organization needs.
 
Below we share six ways to ensure you get the most out of your conference experience:
1
Keep that conference app! The ASHHRA conference app is live and active until next year’s conference, so use it as a resource to continue to make connections and share ideas. Challenge each other to implement change.
2
Access learning session slides. PowerPoint slides/presentations from most learning sessions are available on the app. Open the presentations in your browser, where you can then save them as PDFs and email them to yourself. Then use these as road maps to create your plan, and be sure to download the slides to the sessions you couldn’t attend.
3
Type up your notes. Remember those great notes you took in your ASHHRA Journal? Be sure to take the extra step to type up your notes. Typing handwritten notes allows you to further commit ideas and concepts to memory and allows them to be easily shared with colleagues. Once you’ve typed them, bring them to staff meetings and share them with others.
4
Send a couple emails. Be sure to follow up with those you met. Send an encouraging email, drop a line to say hello, encourage the sharing of ideas, say ‘thank you’ to someone—nurture the relationships that you created. You’ll see an immense return on your efforts.
5
Connect with others via social media. Set aside time to find colleagues on LinkedIn and Twitter. Send a message and continue the conversation. This is an easy way to stay in contact with your conference connections. 
6
Create your plan. After reviewing notes and the available slides, create a plan of action that puts your  conference take-aways into action. Start with one idea, or decide to make one change, and make it happen. After that small victory, you’ll be more motivated to continue down the path to change.
