Over the Line
<div class="text-justify">

It's over!

Three days of intensity and it is done - at least the official part. All that is left is a casual dinner tonight, a short bar visit and the flight back home tomorrow. 

>What a relief.


![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tarazkp/23vhuUva77GxoKPDWL8n6upfnWVjdiJxaq2VhSmgPhu8obzf2dWMgvRehkN1WQK8vaNe5.png)

The theme of the event was "impact" and I really do feel that this was achieved,  at least at the level of everyone who has attended any of the others over the years agreeing that this was the best event yet. Of course, it is actually just the beginning, because while a lot was done in planning, now the more difficult work of creation, execution and enablement to take steps forward need to be performed, and a lot of the development is going to fall on my team's plate, with a healthy slice served to me. I am okay with this, though because of the planning for this event, I am behind in my own work. 

>I have decided not to think *too much* about that tonight.

Being involved with this early has given me a good insight into just ho much work goes into planning this kind of thing and, although a lot of it seems easy from the view of the participants, so much was done by the event planners (outsourced professionals) and the content creators, my supervisor and the facilitators such as myself. All of this was done around our regular work, which means it has probably taken a toll on all of us, but the results might just be worth it.

There are so many action points that came up and what was especially highlighted, was how much information is siloed because communication flow isn't systematically moving from department to department, even though it is all available through the technology utilized. Like it or not, human interaction is required *by humans* to really drive engagement and these kinds of meeting points facilitate opening the lines and developing the necessary relationships.

But, one thing that has been highlighted for me in this is that I really dislike not having the time to engage on Hive. While finding time to write has been a massive issue, I am unable to respond to comments in a timely enough fashion, but I figure it is only for a few days, so it isn't the end of the world - even if it frustrates me. In this respect I have to accept that I am doing the best I can with the resources I have available. 

>And I am running on empty.

After four days of being switched on constantly for 15 hours a day, the tank is now almost gone and I need to recharge. The dinner should be far more casual tonight than last night and it will be with the organizing team and facilitators only, as the rest of the group is split up between five restaurants. We can "let loose" a little now, since we don't have to have 2am bedtimes with 6am wakeups, followed by 8 hours of facilitation tomorrow. 

>I am so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.

I rarely sleep well when travelling for work, even though I sleep. It is a mix of the unfamiliar surroundings and adrenaline, as well as the sleeping alone without my wife by my side. It is strange to have that "alone" feeling in the bed and even though the bed is comfortable, it isn't "my bed" - it is weird. I don't think I am the only one who feels this.

Now, it is off to the shower top rinse of the sweat of the day and head into the *final act* of the trip.

*almost there.*

Don't worry about commenting, just upvote me :)  I'm kidding of course.  I am glad that you are able to head home soon and that it was a successful conference.  I occasionally have principals come to me and ask if they should send staff members to this conference or that one.  I always say absolutely, but make sure they debrief the entire staff when they get back.  If we are sending them and they aren't bringing back valuable ideas and solutions for the other teachers, then it isn't worth it.

Yes dear!!

The aftermath from this event is going to be massive and ripple across all departments of the organization and affect so many processes. Lots to do!

If you guys are making headway then the event was a success and what ultimately always means more work and more pressure. Always good to be heading home and the weekend awaits.

Like it or not, human interaction is required by humans to really drive engagement and these kinds of meeting points facilitate opening the lines and developing the necessary relationships.

Do you think more can be done to facilitate the flow of info without these big events, or are they a necessary evil? 

Coincidently, we were chatting in the Mancave on Discord about information flow around the office last night. I shared that in Japan almost all offices still use fax machines and require hand stamps/seals (which Japanese culture uses in lieu of signatures), and that the hierarchical and polite culture gets in the way of business requiring at least one drinking party after work every week to actually get business done (in Asian culture when you are drunk all politeness can be dropped—to an extent—and business can actually be done). So I know things can be done here to help communication and information flow around the workplace, and it seems from our talk that the same is true in Oz and the UK. 

Anyway, that's not necessarily related, it's just still on my mind from our talk and your post made me think of it again. 

You made it! Congrats. Hope you can relax a little now that it's over.

Sounds like a LOT o hard work and it's paid off. It's totally understandable that you're running on empty after that much facilitating and having to schmooze people as well. 

Everyone sleeps better in their own bed I reckon, even if they don't readily admit it.

Human interaction at all levels always gives you warmth and promotes "synchronicity" in favor of the business and for the well-being of all Mr.Taraz... congratulations to everyone.

To all who have traveled for days away from home, it happens between endless working hours that we often take her to the hotel room, sleeping without our partner even next to us... 

We miss the bed, and the bathroom, the everyday life of the home is normal, and I understand him. Many times I had to be away for months when I was working in the oil industry, and the day I returned the joy was immense and the embrace with mine eternal.

Happy return to your home

Conference meetings can be beneficial, new ideas come to the table, or instructions to be shared on return. Many forget it's not simply an outing for a couple of days being entertained, companies do it with purpose in mind.

Meeting associates is interesting, being away from home comforts always where the discomfort comes in. Long distance to reach destination, meeting folk, listening to ideas all day, you pretty tired, then off to dinners that may take you into early hours, up bright and early to do it again for a week!

When eventually returning home, you appreciate your bed more, sleep it off, after exhaustion leaves, out come copious notes to pass on within your home base.

Home sweet home, till next time !LOLZ

I am very much used to sleeping alone but it would be nice to have ~~your wife~~ a woman next to me.

Greetings from a tiny city in Portugal, where I'm about to spend my first night, "alone" ( in my new place ).
