If your book is ideal for a gift (and it’s a rare one that is not), seasonal celebrations are ideal to reach out to your followers ... why not your book as the gift? This month, of course December is hot. But so will January ... for the “how-to” crowd, this is the high GOYA month—Get Off Your Ass—and get started (or re-started).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a recent three-day convention, I was slated to present the opening keynote for the next day and a workshop on communication the third day. It has always been my practice when time permitted, to come in a day early so I could hear other speakers, feel the energy of the group and if there is another main speaker, to make sure that I hear him or her.

		<description><![CDATA[Carefronting Employees in Your Midst …

 You’ve been recently promoted to manager of your department.  You loved being on staff, but the management role hasn’t been what you expected.
