Gene Simmons of KISS was asked a few years ago what was the one thing he attributed his success to?  He said, without hesitation,  ”I read everything I can get my hands on.” I loved that answer.  I am who I am and I do what I do because I read and I’ve never stopped [...]

Getting the Most from a Conference

by Dayna on October 6, 2009

Despite the travel hassles and the same food across the country at the lunch and/or dinner, a conference is still one of the best ways to keep up with your industry, network with like-minded individuals and form relationships and, open your mind to new ideas and new ways of doing things.

And LinkedIn? Well, that was the one I was ready to drop, just for the sake of time. Before I hit the delete button, I thought I would ask my social network what they thought. Last Thursday I tweeted “Reasons to stay on LinkedIn?” Answers poured in on both Twitter and Facebook. The consensus?
