Taking the lead on leveraging our skills and scope

I've told you about the work 20 speakers are doing in creating the Alberta Speakers website and ad-venture promotional team. This group is using a website which is supported by print advertising as a way to leverage their reach.
Mid November we expanded that outreach by inviting additional speakers to join us in two more online web-based promotional websites. We've had a good response for Edmonton Speakers and Calgary Speakers websites.
Last week we invited speakers from BC to become a part of a new online program to promote Vancouver Speakers and Kelowna/Okanagon Speakers. Again, the response has been good. Obviously, these ideas have struck a chord with our fellow speakers. Yahoo!

Glad to help where we can and we have several other projects under consideration: Atlantic Canada Speakers, Saskatchewan Speakers, Manitoba Speakers, Ontario Speakers, Toronto Speakers, Hamilton Speakers, and Ottawa Speakers. Interesting way to leverage my spare time, keep my webmaster busy, and leverage my reach along with helping my fellow speakers with theirs.

Denver Secrets revealed



Leaders come in all shapes and sizes and from many walks of life. And they convey themselves in some unique ways.

I had the privilege of meeting and chatting with Colorado's new Governor, Bill Ritter at a recent CSIA DemoGala 2007. I had been invited by the Canadian Consulate to exhibit my on-line Secret SellingTips sales leaders' success program.

I enjoyed listening to Governor Ritter and complimented him on his talk when we were chatting at my booth. One of the CO staff mentioned he had only recently been elected and was still getting into his role. My comment, "I hope he continues speaking his mind in an open and honest manner and doesn't fall into politician speak or think."
