In a world where we are constantly plugged in and connected it’s sometimes nice to take a digital detox and get some fresh air. After leading the social media team for the Business Marketing Association’s annual global conference in Chicago, I decided to enjoy some of the beautiful weather outside. ( A proper post with insight into the #BMA14 to come shortly!).

I find some of my greatest inspiration and ideas come while wandering around with no place to be and no plan or meetings tying me down. I’m excited to get back to work with my new outlook from my conference this week, but also to enjoy this beautiful day in Chicago!

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. – Confucius
