In my role as SLA Chapter Cabinet (Elect, Current, Past) I’ve learned to be more “Future Ready” myself and have smoothly transferred these ideas to my professional life, so I thought I’d share them with you as these tips will be very pertinent to attending  conference.

Do your homework — be prepared.

Always have business cards with you.

Listen, listen, listen…then speak.

At least once a day try to sit with/or talk to someone you don’t know.

Attempt what scares you, you fail if you don’t try but if you try you may succeed.

Anyone you meet may be important in the future, so treat everyone as you would like to be perceived.

“So, join us in Philly and learn how you too can become future ready!”
