Make Your Next Meeting A Hit

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Julia Paulus, a writer for St. Louis Business Monthly (thanks for the referral, Nametag Guy!) and the article recently appeared in their January 2010 issue. Here's a link to the web version.

Julia forwarded me a print version of the issue and I was excited to see that the editors had pulled one of my quotes from the article to feature in their "Sage Advice" section next to their "Editor's Letter." It was a fun surprise to be be included with the four other quotes from that issue, and I was especially enthused when I saw that one of the other people featured was my virtual mentor and sales guru, Jeffrey Gitomer, who also had a column in that edition.



Also love the fact they ended the meetings article with the perfect soundbite (even if I do say so myself) which also just happens to be the full title of my and Jon's book:

"...you'll begin to realize just how quickly boring meetings suck the time, energy, creativity and money out of your organization."
