      <image:title>Blog - Reporting on the 2016 Pioneer Network Conference Experience</image:title>
      <image:caption>The 2016 conference, titled "Revolutionizing the Culture of Aging," featured a plethora of sessions on ways to facilitate a culture of aging that is life-affirming, satisfying, humane, and meaningful. One highlight was the Tuesday Morning plenary keynote, "CNA Edge," featuring three Certified Nursing Assistants who blog about what it's like to work in the trenches of long-term care. They relayed the gap between them and the rest of the "system," saying that genuine culture change can't truly change until caregivers are understood. The following list conveys some of what they experience in the trenches: 1. They learn to adapt quickly. 2. Conversations that are insane to others are their norm. 3. They meet demands that make no sense. 4. They shrug off being bombarded by bodily fluids. 5. Humor saves their sanity. 6. They have days that make them wonder why they're in this field. 7. If they stay in this field long enough, their perception will be changed. One thing was clear. They deeply care for the elders they serve, and are committed in spite of the less than desirable hourly wage. They don't appreciate when others tell them that being a CNA is just a stepping stone to a better career. A personal highlight was a session facilitated by Molly Middleton Meyer, founder of Mind's Eye Poetry. Upon returning to the trenches the day after the conference, I immediately applied her practical tools on facilitating a meaningful and engaging poetry experience. I'll blog about that in a separate post. But, for now, here's a teaser. It's just one of several poems created collectively from three different group of residents. This one was created by six women with advanced dementia. Preferred I see a man playing a guitar He’s wearing green, yellow, red He’s wearing a hat He’s singing I hope it’s a happy song Someplace where there’s a crowd Where people gather with friends He’s singing loudly It’s beautiful What makes me happy is food What makes me happy is when I’m preferred Because I do Sometimes I feel preferred Sometimes not It depends on who it is We all see around here</image:caption>
