Business walk on the Rocks
Business walk on the RocksI watched a Ted Ex video the other day about chat walks. Taking your business meetings and making them outside meetings. Inspired by this talk, one has only to think about some of the following items:decide on the location of the walkthe length of time available to walkwho you will meet withwhat you will discussand the weather of course.The amount of stress alone saved in taking a chat walk is worth its weight in gold.

Social Media – What’s your Hook
Social Media - What's your Hook?What makes your company stand out in the world of social media? Are you stumped for an answer? I guess we could ask our presidential candidates on both sides, the same question. They would of course say they are "ALL" winning the debates being presented on the digital front.
