@JohnInazu @ISACSnews @Veritas @EbooPatel Your talk was more than worth making it to Chicago during the very cold weather. Thanks John!

[Thad Falkner @ThadFalkner]

@JohnInazu was a fantastic keynote speaker at the ISACS Heads Conference. I am looking forward to reading his book, Confident Pluralism.

@DevorahHeitner It was interesting to keep changing travel plans. You are no stranger to that with the travel pace you must keep!

[Thad Falkner @ThadFalkner]

Not even in Chicago do many venture out when it is almost -20. Looking forward to a great conference though! #ISACS

Thanks @kristihedges! Professional growth is an opportunity to be seized, not a 'go through the motions' activity.
