January Workshops from Boomba Chicken!

by Christian on December 29, 2011

We all like to start the new year off on the right foot. Some people make resolutions. Some finally address their “pile of denial” and clean it up. Others paint the living room. And others empty their email inbox.

I never said she stole the money.

In the last two weeks I have attended several business networking events. At each of these events time is given for the attendees to stand up, introduce themselves, say their company name, and give their 10-second, 30-second, 0r 1-minute commercial or elevator pitch. In most cases, after giving their commercial, I still didn’t know the [...]
