  1. Just Imagine It’s Monday Morning You arrive at 6:30am to get a good start on your day. You are planning your day and feeling pretty solid. Saying, I own this day 8am and a few coworkers stroll in – brief pleasantries exchanged 8:15am email from CEO comes across stating the company has decided to layoff 6.5% of workforce You assume, obviously the folks who are getting let go would have been told before said email came across 8:30 Your boss shows up with a weird look on his face You know- his eyes are wateringWhat’s the first thing you do in that situation?
  2. How many of you Google’d the speakers tonight before coming. How about Googling customers/consultants before the first meetingWe all do itInteresting stat: 3 Years ago there were only 2 Billion searches a day, today 60 BillionReplacing sales people
  3. Personal branding existing before social media. It was called reputation, character, credibility, etcThe reach was smaller Office, customers, suppliers, church, trade associations, events
  4.
