Book me to speak

Directing you toward an interview I did for ManagementConsulted.com

Hey there, peoples. I hope you’re all having a nice weekend so far. This is going to be a relatively short entry, but it’ll direct you to a MUCH longer piece by me. Recently, I’ve received a couple of requests to do interviews for other blog sites and I just completed the first one for ManagementConsulted.com (I’ve mentioned it on here before). It still amazes me that people get something out of this blog, but, for it to have enough impact to warrant interview invites really makes me grin 😀

Some of the interview questions are ones that I’ve answered on here before, so I included the list of interview questions below to let you know what I was asked. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link to the interview on ManagementConsulted.com. If not, that’s cool too…I know most of y’all aren’t checkin’ for entries where I write about myself anymore anyway 🙂
