What makes Challenge Detroit so unique is that every fellow has a different working experience four days a week before we reunite each Friday. At the end of April, I was able to participate in a company tradition that made my four day work week a little more exciting than the rest. I had the opportunity to attend the Raymond James National Conference for Professional Development in Nashville, Tennessee. Now you may be thinking, \u201cHow did you pull that one off?\u201d Well, Center for Financial Planning, my host company, as you may have guessed is a financial planning firm and our broker dealer is Raymond James, so naturally we go for a few days to network, brush up on some new technology, and to learn how to be the best at our job as we can be. <\/span><\/p>\n

The week was exciting for multiple reasons: it was my first time in Nashville, my first RJ conference, and I got the opportunity to meet other branch professionals while bonding with my own Center team. The conference was really enlightening, especially in the seminars that focus on how you manage work and how you project yourself to the world.<\/span>
