Six months ago I bet on myself. This week I brought that bet to Cancun.
My first WorldVia Travel Network conference, World26 at AVA Resort Cancun, was work in the best way. I was in sessions by day and working on client deadlines at night, including a big milestone for my first multigenerational group trip.
Three ideas I’m bringing home:
Great trips need a great business behind them. I’m building systems so every detail is handled the same way, every time, for every client.
“Can I book this?” is the wrong question. The right one is “Can I deliver this beautifully?” That’s my standard now.
Be curious, not judgmental. The most meaningful trips start with better questions. What are we celebrating? What do you want to feel? What would make Grandma cry happy tears?
The best part was the people. I reconnected with advisors I already knew, met new ones who cheered me on all week, and had a 1:1 deep dive with the travel partner behind my group trip.
Every hour of this week was an investment in the travelers I serve. I’m not looking back, only forward.
