Speaking Effectively and Building Alliances

Monday, November 12 2007

Last week, among other big events I was involved in, I teamed up with two great, local speakers to talk about building alliances. What a hot topic this is!! I am convinced that Amy, a business trainer and consultant, and Jeanette, a negotiator and attorney and I could create a full time roadshow going from town to town, helping companies with the three areas of business alliances:
People
Process
Legal Issues

It is neat because when I met Amy I realized that she and I could partner in a very strong presentation because we have different skill sets. I already knew Jeanette, but Amy didn't. Bringing them together and working as a trio, we have made a bigger splash on this topic than possibly any one of us could have done - unless Amy got another billboard in Times Square (that is an inside joke - Amy was in the Dell advertising campaign a few months ago and got her photo up in Times Square)

On Amy's blog today, she listed five tips for a successful seminar, based on ours last week. Enjoy, and as she mentions, post your comments to her blog, or send me email and we can add to the list.
