Murder Mystery

You can't judge a book by it's cover. Ain't that the truth?

I don't know if anyone else heard about the BYU Murder Mystery Dinner shows but I had the opportunity to attend tonight. All of the events, clues, happenings, and people led me to one idea, yet again: networking.

Our world depends on networking. At this event, we were given a character to act as with clues and hints to lead to the killer. These clues meant nothing if we didn't talk to the others in the room. We were able to go around and ask other characters who they knew and what they knew about them. It was interesting and gave a greater appreciation for networking and the importance of it.

Another aspect learned from this dinner is we never know the play-by-plays of life. We sat together as dates not knowing what to expect for sure but knew there was an end result: someone was the killer and we had to figure out who.

Just as in this dinner, we're given all the tools we need to reach our end goal, but now we need to put them into action.

I am not always the best at applying what I learn but this one is essential as it involves everyone in my life and how my life is currently and in the future.

Murder Mystery Dinner has helped me see in action WHY I need to network, WHY I am involved in various activities, WHO I need to talk to, and WHAT the result is.

This was a good learning environment to see for myself, while in character, how I can change where I'm at currently.

I've actually been doing pretty good with my goals posted on my blogs so here goes another one:

I'm going to make a plan of things I want to work on for the next year. So, grab a calendar and start making monthly goals! Yes, I can change them as I go if I feel needed but this will be a good start for me to get a move-on with my life.

Who's up for the challenge?
