Thursday, January 19: Speaking to an MBA Class at Davenport University

Thursday night I'll be delivering a lecture on, "Building Your Career by Telling Your Story" to a section of the MBA program at Davenport University in Grand Rapids. Thanks to professor Ellen Winterburn for inviting me. Really looking forward to it.

Last Minute: Speaking at the Holland Rotary this Morning

My friend Mike Freestone, from Good Time Granola, called yesterday and said that the speaker for the Holland Rotary breakfast this morning had dropped out, and asking if I could fill in. He promised me a bag of granola, and since I love me some Good Time Granola (especially great on my yogurt in the morning, with a banana), I'm in.

I'm going to test some new material for a book I'll be releasing in March. I'm calling the talk, "Five Ways to Fail in Business (and Six to Succeed)." The book is going to be called, "Be Wise, Do Good, Live Free: Practical Advice for the Best Possible Life."

Launch Party for "NetPlus Connections"

On January 26, we'll be launching the new book by Ken Fortier with Greg Smith, "NetPlus Connections: Be the One That Makes Everyone Else's World Bigger and Better."

Please join us. Both Ken and I will be speaking, there will be a book signing, and lots of great NetPlus connections to be made.
