Many thanks to the team at the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) for allowing me to lead a workshop and hold a book signing at the 2017 ACTE CareerTech VISION, the premier national gathering of career and technical education (CTE) professionals.

The conference took place at the jaw-dropping Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee.

On Friday, December 8, 2017, I led a workshop for about 100 CTE professionals called the “Ultimate Workshop on Student Employability Skills.” In the session, I talked about practical ways to improve student email etiquette, emails related to the job search and LinkedIn connections.

A few moments later, I sat in the conference bookstore to sign copies of my ACTE-supported book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?

What a great experience and opportunity to share my message with teachers coast to coast!

Before I dive into the massive exhibit hall at the 5,000-person national conference.

Signing copies of my books in the ACTE bookstore!

Yes, this is a hotel. The cavernous, awe-inspiring Gaylord Opryland Resort.
