Greetings to all my friends to be
January 26, 2010
Hello world, or probably more properly hello again, since I spent 20 years writing for newspapers. Now in my 6-year career as an executive and personal coach I’ve had plenty of time to think of new things to say and new interests to explore.
This blog is designed for several audiences.
New managers who’ve been promoted after careers as line employees and don’t have a clue how to ‘manage’ people who were their co-workers days before and veteran managers who never really got any training before they got their jobs.
In addition I’ll ask you to put up with a few of my hobbies- gardening, wine and travel (mainly to Hawaii at this point) – and any other other topics that seem relevant.
So, thanks in advance for your attention and I look forward to your comments.

No problem, I went to a seminar this week on how this is supposed to help business. We’ll see.

It helps business because when people buy professional services, they buy the person who provides the service. The video gives people a sense of you and lets them feel comfortable with the idea of working with you. Live and in-person is best, but video is second best. Also, reading is work, while watching is entertainment. You have a much better chance of people watching that video than delving into your written material. Once they’re hooked, then they’ll read.

So far, every email comment I’ve had is on the video. Kudos to my web page designer.
