Based on the engagement results we've seen from our clients, the short answer is YES! One particular client of ours was struggling with a lack of engagement on his LinkedIn posts. He was posting consistently but with very little interaction from his contacts. When we looked at his posts, we noticed a pattern of articles, links, [...]
Happy Friday, Friends! I'm back with another five links to make you better at business and life! Here are your fast five for the week: Do you love coffee? Once the pandemic hit, we were forced to become more in-home coffee drinkers, and Jess (my better half) became obsessed with finding amazing coffee. We discovered Four Sigmatic [...]
Be the light and give the gift of laughter. The world is not a perfect place, and if we need proof of this, we can usually turn to social media.

1) Watch this video: This is a 3-minute clip from a recent keynote about being the wise owl instead of the squawking parrot. 2) Check out this app: Gemini Photos. It's really cool.

Besides reconnecting with many of my speaker friends, I heard some amazing presentations [...]
This past week, I got the chance to take over the National Speaker's Association Instagram account for one day. As a 10+ year member, I took the opportunity to share reasons why I'm a devoted member and help promote their national conference coming up in July.
