Make a Difference by Killing the Bad Things

May 17, 2012 in Author of Book, Book Review, Coaching, General Business, Managment, New Thinking, Sustainability

I chat with Lisa Bodell regarding her first book that launched this week (May 15, 2012) and is already a must read for business people who want to help their company grow and prosper the right way.

Innovation isn’t allways doing “the next big thing”. Find out how making small but relevant changes within a company and tweaking mindset of the employees can change the course of a floundering organization into a powerhouse to be reckoned with. Lisa’s passion for the subject makes for a great listen.

Check out more at her book’s website for more information and business building tools:

I talk with Kevin Knebl about the book he was asked to write because of his social media presence and his blog’s content. The book on social media and sales was authored by Landy Chase and Kevin Knebl.

An informative chat that looks at how social marketing is more like networking then classic sales. Kevin talks about how “giving it forward” is a great way to get into social communication and the pitfalls of looking at social marketing as just another way to sell to people. Here is Kevin Knebl’s website/blog for more information and updates.

November 22, 2011 in Book Review, General Business, Managment, New Thinking

I have the opportunity to chat with Douglas Craver again and he does not disappoint. Through our talk I discover some of the teachings in this great book. A straight-shooting style of book with a lot of great wisdom throughout. Find out how “work as we know it” is changing and needs to change even more. Though the book’s authors are deeply involved in the highly technical coding industry, it is not a highly technical read. As Douglas Says, “They just get to the point.”
