I attended a conference earlier this week - normally I hate these things with a vengeance, and always feel a bit uncomfortable with the "who are you bit", and since starting at CCH always end up assessing the venue and catering to see if:
a. we could do it cheaper, better
b. if there is anything we could "steal" or learn from our competition.
This one was different. Simply because it made me think about all the things I don't know and we as an organisation don't know - and how if we are not careful and engage beyond our comfort zone and existing contact we will effectively live in a bubble.
As an organisation aspiring to be at the heart of the community this is a reminder to me to work harder and make more of an effort to continuously learn, even in that subtle way to making a point of going to more of these things.
Living in a bubble might be protected, but it can also be very isolating and stifling - something we are all working hard to get away from!
