I am a Statistical Analyst for the California Central Bankruptcy Court in the Los Angeles Division, and have been with the Court since 1993. Although I have known about NCBC since 2008, I have only been a member since 2011 and have attended one other conference. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and am very appreciative of having received an NCBC scholarship which allowed me the opportunity to attend this year’s conference.
The most challenging part of attending the conference was trying to decide which breakout sessions to attend and whether to enroll in MSU. While I cannot speak about other conferences, this year’s conference was very informative because sessions were offered which provided opportunities for attendees to enhance both their professional as well as personal lives.
I sat in on the session “Presenting Like a Pro – How to Turn Presentations into Something Incredible” (Presented by Barry Lander’s) as well as “Interview Assassination: How to Do a Killer Interview” (Presented by Stephanie Small). These sessions were very beneficial for me as I have given a couple of presentations and been on a few interviews in the past and will probably do so again in the future. The skills learned in each of these sessions can be put to use in my personal interactions as well in the work place. Both presenters were very engaging and entertaining and kept my attention from start to finish. In many ways these sessions overlapped in that they focused on being prepared, confident and authoritative. I left each session feeling as though I could actually put into practice what I had learned.
Again, I am very grateful for the opportunity provided to attend this year’s conference and look forward to attending more in the future, possibly as an MSU student as well.
