Finding Your True Voice
As a member of the National Speaker’s Association I was attending the outstanding monthly meetings and taking in all of the priceless recommendations, advice, and suggestions for building both my platform and my speaking business.

Budget vs. Investment

So this is it–the big sale. Don’t Miss It! (Designer moving and warehouse sale by appointment and weekends.) Christmas at…
Stop Comparing and Start Winning
This past week, I had this particular message reinforced unexpected. Many of us are very competitive individuals, and I don’t mean just having to win a race, but win the promotion, win in business, and win in life. This is all good, except when we do this at our own expense. It is vital that…
