The flight from Honolulu to Auckland was about 9 hours. The plan was to sleep on this leg so I would be fresh for my Conversation Debrief scheduled to begin an hour and half after I arrived. Naturally, sleeping makes the flight considerably shorter. However, with the exception of about two hours of fitful sleep, most of the flight was spent attempting to get comfortable.
The Auckland Debrief was held in the boardroom at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. It was a diverse group. Among them were two college faculty members, an experienced chiropractic veteran of 33 years and a newbie in practice a mere three years.
Thursday, the following day, was a 6-hour presentation to the first and fourth year students of the college. Wow. Attentive. Respectful. And they asked great questions. Such a very different experience than I often experience at chiropractic colleges in the states. Further proof that not only does New Zealand have the purest form of chiropractic, the future of the profession appears to be in good hands.
