In this month’s Industry Perspective, Joey Marcella writes about when attending a trade show, workshop or other industry event, you should walk away with a “couple of good ‘nuggets’ of information.” I couldn’t agree more. We are fortunate that the stone industry does offer so many educational events for us to obtain more knowledge on a host of things pertaining to our industry, but it can also be overwhelming – especially to a fabricator or other industry member starting out. By telling yourself to take away only two or three pieces of information that you can start applying in your daily work routine, it seems more manageable and less overwhelming.
What matters most is that we are still opening ourselves up to learning – whether from our peers or an expert in the field. It doesn’t necessarily matter how much we absorb each time, as long as we are benefitting a little each time we attend an educational session or walk a trade show floor and talk to exhibitors.
