The Power of Words
The words we choose to get our point across can be mighty in their delivery or conveyed in the simplest of form. Whether mighty or simple it’s the actions behind those words that make them effective or ineffective.Words are meant to convey something or prompt action.

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.

Social Media – What’s your Hook
