Wearable ads. This is called progress, right? – SCN Encourager
The early adopters are already off and running. Don’t tell me you’re one of them. I’m still sitting up in the bleachers watching and wondering what the future impact of the new “wearable ads” technology will be. I’m plopped comfortably in the cheap seats because I’m hoping to delay another inevitable “if you can’t beat them, join them” cave in.…
Read MoreAnother gem emerges from my scraps of scribbles – SCN Encourager
Oops! I found one more habit shared by experts. And I have to give Cindy the credit for this one. Hours after I had emailed yesterday’s Encourager about three shared habits of thought leaders and experts, she asked me how long I was going to leave my bits of paper piled up on our dining room table.

These four tips really work! I’m grateful that a seasoned PR pro (a member of our very own tribe) sent this my way. No doubt about it. You should always review and double-check your work before you release one of your projects for public view. I’m sure you’d agree that offering the excuse of a tiny budget or a tight…
