training the trainer
As I’ve mentioned, I’m launching a new business venture focusing on my work as a speaker, trainer and consultant for lawyers and business leaders (I’ll post my updated programs soon). As with any new venture, while I go along, I’m learning quite a bit about the nuances of business development and how to be a savvy solopreneur. From presentation skills to podcasts to teleseminars to e-commerce, it’s been a nice learning curve. I’ve received a lot of assistance from the blogging community along the way. Michael Pollock is doing a fabulous job of helping folks like me through the information and insights he shares at his smallbusinessbranding and SavvySoloCast blogs. I also learn a lot about real world teaching and training from posts like this one from Kathy Sierra at CPU. In the spirit of true niche presence, there’s even a blog devoted to informing training and development professionals. Beyond this Net support, I greatly benefit from the steady stream of wisdom and practical tips I receive in my work with T. Harv Eker’s team at Peak Potentials Training and from many others. Paulo Coelho states it well in his book The Alchemist: “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” As I start this new solo enterprise, I’m very grateful for the strong support network I’ve cultivated and continue to build.
Nice job quoting The Alchemist. Great book and great outlook.
