I'm delighted to let readers know that the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) has asked me to join its roster of presenters at Summit 2017. Summit is a major conference, and an annual must attend event on many admin. professionals’ calendars. IAAP is hosting this year’s conference from July 22-25, 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana. I’ll be presenting an Ed Talk, and will be at Summit 2017 alongside some other stellar trainers from around the globe - some of the best of the best. See you there! #IAAP #summit2017 #internationalassociationofadminprofessionals Now, this is the way to begin a long weekend! Heads up: it was a bit windy, so you'll want your volume down for this one. It may also be a good time to introduce what I'm calling Real Moments - short videos to brighten your screen. Whether you're looking for travel inspiration or simply a sanity break in your day, these are brief videos of the world around us. Those who are homesick or lovesick for the west coast will be pleased to know that many of these are Vancouver- and nature-inspired, but you'll increasingly see more from my travels. Readers can find these Real Moments on my website: Real Moments: https://exceptionalea.com/real-moments/ ... and others can find them on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLwjaVZOPZ87mDxSbnks-Zw #vancouver #beach #spanishbanks #westcoast #naturephotography #vancityfeed #VeryVancouver #vancitynow #604now #dailyhivevan #outdoorvancouver #bc #britishcolumbia #canada #cbcvancouver #pacificnorthwest This is why we put up with that white winter and ridiculously soggy start to Spring! #Vancouver #spanishbanks #naturephotography #vancouver #vancityfeed #VeryVancouver #vancitynow #vancouverisawesome #604now #discovervancouver #dailyhivevan #explorebc #outdoorvancouver #vancityvibe #vancityfeature #explorevancouver #explorebc #bc #britishcolumbia #pacificnorthwest #explorecanada #canada #natgeo #cbcvancouver #westcoast #pacificnorthwest At last!

Today, yellow buds were already emerging and the allium beneath the trees look set to burst into purple puffs before long. #spring #labernum #goldenchain #garden #botanical #vandusenbotanicalgarden #vancity #vancouver #vancity #dailyhivevan Some more shots from today's half and full marathon that might just as well be a promo for tourism in our beautiful city... marathon #halfmarathon #bmomarathon #bmomarathon2017 #stanleypark #running #race #vancouver #dailyhivevan #vanlife #vancouver #vancity #explorebc #pacificnorthwest Ho hum, just another beautiful race route in Vancouver - today's marathon/half marathon has a gorgeous, scenic route.

While we're enjoying another reprieve, here's what the crowd down along the Rideau Canal looked like huddled together not long ago. I caught this shot from the comfort of my room at the Chateau Laurier. #springshowers #umbrellas #ottawa #rain #rideaucanal #spring #parliamenthill #fairmontchateaulaurier Early morning in Ottawa, with a look at the view from my room @fairmontlaurier - just one section of our Parliament Buildings. This sunny dawn over Parliament Hill is extra welcome, since we've had two days of what seemed to be non-stop rain. Here's to Canada 150! The celebrations here will be huge this coming July 1st. #ottawa #canada #canada150 #parliament #parliamenthill #travel #ohcanada #fairmontlaurier #fairmontchateaulaurier #roomwithaview #sunrise
