Do you have people in your life who tell you what you need to know not what you want to know? If so, you are a RICH person. Today, I had a brief conversation with Brian Palmer of National Speakers Bureau. Brian was kind enough to watch my new promotional video I have just completed. He was also kind enough to be honest, to tell me what needed more work, what didn’t work, and what to think about. I get that same kind of feedback from professional speaker friend and branding expert, Bruce Turkel (who, BTW, has one of the coolest websites I have ever seen). I regularly get feedback from Bruce. He’s an incredible friend and supportor in that he tells it like it is (or at least as he sees it). I totally value that kind of friendship and honest feedback.

When speaking with Brian, he told me about a speech he had recently heard given by Tim Sanders, author of Love is the Killer Ap and The Likeability Factor. Tim spoke recently for Meeting Professionals International. Watching Tim’s speech will take you less time than watching American Idol  plus it will be a productive insightful investment in your thinking. Tim is writing another book coming out this year called Save the World at Work. I think he is “Spot on”. Check it out here.

Wishing for you a few good men (or women) in your life.
