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.
"Your energetic speaking style and well-polished presentation captured the attention of the entire audience of nearly 300 Coast Guard personnel...Your familiarity with the Coast Guard and our missions was evident, as you incorporated service history and factual information in your presentation... Your sincere, heartfelt presentation certainly contributed to the overall readiness of this command. Thanks again!"
