WordCamp Miami 2019

WordCamp Miami 2019

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend at WordCamp Miami for the second time, I was very excited. WCMIA has a very special place in my heart. The weather, the animated people, their volunteers, and their great organization: everything in WCMIA was fantastic.

I arrived on Thursday morning. My previous flight was canceled due to the situation with the Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane. I had seen the news and I was a bit scared, luckily, I was able to travel on another type of plane. In the afternoon, I went shopping. At night, I drank a beer with my GreenGeeks friends.

The next morning, I took had/ate a delicious breakfast with my friends and we went to the Florida International University to enjoy a day of workshops; I chose the Freelancer's Workshop.

I started the workshop by enjoying the talk "What I Wish I'd Known About Freelancing" by the speaker Nathan Ingram. It was great. I really liked this beautiful phrase that he said: "People will remember you for the impact you have on their lives."

I was excited to see this kind of talk in at WordCamp Miami. Michelle Schulp gave a talk called "10 Practical Habits to Balance Health with Hustle,"  in which she focused on giving the advice to stay healthy in the busy life we ​​have. Also, she advises to everyone those who works remotely. I believe that this these types of conversations are of great added value for the WordPress Community. In a digital world, we should be so concerned about our health, not only the physical but mental. It is essential to lead a full life at work and emotionally. this These types of initiatives are very useful!

For our mind to work, we must also be healthy, seek a balance, and take time to exercise and work to be in shape. So, our body and mind will work better.

It was my turn to see the talk of the talented and smiling Jessi Gurr, "Project Management." She talked to us about good skills to be a good project manager, among which are communication and motivation. Also, she offered us a series of useful tools to work as a project manager, including Slack, which personally is easy to learn and use for to foster a collaborative and safe remote working environment.

Thank you!
