In my more than 9 years as a contracted event planner, I have learned five important points about the business: People underestimate the time it takes to do everything.

Is Your Brand too Quiet? Be Brazen! Turn Up the Volume.

He explained that he used Facebook and Twitter to advise people (showing thought leadership) and to promote his business — and he is faithful to weekly blogging. These are all good things, but there needs to be more. The [...]

Have Courage: Write and Be Authentic
It happens repeatedly. Someone tells me that he can’t write, hates to write or doesn’t have time to write. Occasionally, the same person says all three. And then I wonder how he functions in the world today with all that a typical business person is expected to write on a daily basis — no [...]
