[...] Work Life Nation summed the event up with “It’s about human relationships! Success through t….” Author, Judy Martin, responded to journalists asking about SOBCon, struggling to find the right words to explain it. SOBCon was an intense experience in the self preservation of the ego. I felt like I was heading into the first day of junior high school with a really bad haircut and the wrong jeans. But here’s the difference. These experts in social media didn’t want to see me fail. Instead, they embodied what I consider to be my personal vision and mission here at WorkLifeNation.com – the exaltation of the human experience in work and in business. [...]

It was so incredible to meet you, and welcome to the SOBCon effect. It tends to do that to one.

Now that you’ve processed it a bit, I’d love to hear how it really changed you and what you are going to do next. There was a ton to motivate, and it’s fascinating to watch what people do with it. I’ll be among the many watching you. Go for it!

Susan , you are a delight. One of the people in those short three days that I know I’ll stay connected with. I agree taking all that we learned and executing will be quite the challenge. Looking forward to our post-SOBCON gathering!

Hi Lisa, Thanks for visiting. There is a lot of behind the scenes juice that occurs at Sobcon. It was kinda surreal. While I’ve been in the social media camp for a few years, the experience really upped my game.

Hey Judy – fantastic post!

As a frequent participant of conferences both industry (my playground is the meetings & events industry) and others I’ve often walked away with 10 minutes of useful information and maybe one new idea. SOBCon hit it out of the park and blew me away with its presenters, content presented and most of all the giving nature of everyone who participated. My challenge now is how to take all I’ve learned and find the time to consolidate opportunities and thoughts. A good challenge to have:)!

Thank you very much Judy for sharing your wisdom with me.

So very true, Judy. My driving motivation in attending was the “student to teacher” ratio. With such a concentrated number of folks, I knew that true community building would be possible, and I was not disappointed.

You were a wonderful surprise – a gracious, intelligent woman with a strong POV and goals. Awesome to be around 149 other folks just as gracious, intelligent and willing to share their knowledge.

I’m definitely going next year. For. Sure.

Judy, so great to hear how much you got out of SOBCon. I attended the first year, and if not for Liz and Terry and Phil and Ann and Tammy and Kammie (my virtual hood … hood-lums) I never would have made the transition from cubicle to entrepreneur and coach. All those people gathered at the fork in MY road, and we’re still giving and giving back.

Powerful stuff that SOBCon.

Next year!
