Wisconsin north woods for a day

Was an invited guest at the annual offsite conducted by CRA, Inc. - a great group of folks who are consulting and coaching into the world of corporate communications. They're big GTD fans, and wanted me to share a bit of my stuff with their network of forty clients that are meeting at this beautiful retreat center in northwest Wisconsin. It's a place called Minnesuing Acres, owned by the Carlson family and now being used as an executive retreat center as well. Alan Nelson (CRA founder) and his partners are helping shape a whole new strategic function - how to communicate within and influence a corporate culture to facilitate change. Great stuff, good folks.

I'll be off tonight back to DC for work with Monster.com Tuesday, but it was a creative and fun twelve hours (try playing pitch and putt golf in total darkness at 11pm with flourescent golf balls!)

Fall color in perfect form, this afternoon...

David thanks for a great energetic presentation last Friday (Boston). I thought it was terrific mix of fresh GTD ideas and unchanging fundamentals. Seeing examples of your system plus a healthy dose of cranky frankness were both suitable and quite instructive. I hoped to resolve my weakest GTD link and dilemma, use a segmented digital system (no PDA synch, lockdown at work) versus a single paper-based system, but maybe GTD Connect will help me along that path.

Hope you got out to play some golf (tip: get down to Plymouth, MA and play The Pinehills, Nicklaus course).

Welcome to the neighborhood! ;O) I live about 30 miles northwest of where you were, but drove within about 3 miles of where you were today!!! :O) Minnesuing is a great location...must have been just perfect with the colors peaking the way they are!
