Greetings from Arizona
Busy weekend. Am at the national convention of the National Speakers Association (NSA). NSA is the trade association of experts who speak professionally. The convention is our big meeting where we install new officers, issue awards and recognitions and attend educational sessions. Arrived Friday night and have been hard at it all weekend.
Professional education and professional networking. These are two important themes these days and I am trying to practice what I preach. My assistant is here and we are working to make FireStarter better for you.
What are you doing to improve your professional relationships? Are you learning how to do your job better or deliver better value for the firm or to the client? A key point many speakers are making is the importance of investing in yourself now to make sure you are best positioned for the recovery.
" ...it was one of the most dynamic and interesting talks I have ever witnessed on general leadership and effective management. I thought it was very interesting to see how you approached the topic from the bottom up -- from the grunt's perspective. This made the topic very easy for me to relate to and gave me ideas on how to develop the leaders I am responsible for."
