Last night I wrote brochure copy for a private consulting firm in Zimbabwe, Africa (Wanangwa Consulting Limited). The client, Freedom Mawoyo, found me on LinkedIn (as I recall). My spirit resonated to what Mr. Mawoyo is doing in Africa on construction projects and by the unique way in which he does them. He has been …
I’m excited. The vast majority of participants who attended my presentation about how to write compelling ten-second intros and 30-second commercials/elevator speeches improved significantly as a result of the exercise. I was astonished by the immediate improvement I saw. As a result of the noticeable improvement, James Fowler–the networking host of another networking group (Lakewood, …
