I am headed off to Orlando for several reasons: as an adjunct faculty member for Mountain State University, we are offering a three-day three-college-credit course on Aviation Management & Marketing II. This will be held at MSU’s Altamonte Springs campus, just north of Orlando.

I’ll spend some time with my parents, then head off to the Orlando Convention Center. I am offering an NBAA Professional Development Program, ‘Goal Setting and Performance Appraisals’ on Sunday, then attending the convention.

I will be soliciting experiences and examples in communications from all these venues. Please pardon my lack of postings … rest assured I’ll have a lot to blog about when I return!

In the meantime, I challenge you to listen, really listen, to your representatives talk about the bailout, and to the vice-presidential debate. Listen to what they are saying, and to what assumptions you are making from hearing them.

Remember, it’s not what they said, it’s what you think you heard!
