I plan a lot of meetings. In fact, I plan a lot of meetings that I never attend at places I’ve never seen, but I manage to muddle through and pull together events that leave people talking about them for months. I couldn’t do this without the help of some great resorts that are managed by great people. The past few days, Elkhorn Lodge, hosted several of my ever-picky coworkers for an off site. Each and every person told me how much they liked Elkhorn Lodge — the accommodations and furnishings were top-notch, the hot tubs were roomy and clean, the gym had everything they needed, and even the ski lift was super-close to their condos. I had worked pretty closely with the manager to get the correct A/V and food set up for the conference room, and even that went off perfectly, thanks to my obsessive checking and re-checking. Thanks, Elkhorn Lodge! Maybe some day I’ll get a chance to visit, but I am coming without my colleagues or I won’t get any peace at all.
