		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Several months ago I had to find a shoulder specialist. All those overheads and serves had finally taken a toll on my shoulder. I wasn’t at all surprised when friends started providing me with recommendations, each one deemed to be one of the best in NYC. Lucky for me, I had my pick.

		<title>Get Personal, Build Relationships and Have Fun Doing It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
No one ever wants to be compared with a used car salesman (not that there is anything wrong with being a used car salesman) because it has always been shorthand for someone who is slick, dishonest, shallow, and self-interested. These qualities have never been considered attributes but in today’s world where connecting is an integral [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personal Branding-Value Your Past in Creating Your Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I love going into antique stores. For me it&#8217;s about learning the history of some object that caught my eye &#8211; who crafted it, who owned it, what it was originally used for, where it was found or from whom it was purchased. This information provides me with the substance that makes the object more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marketing and Sales: Procrastination &#8211; The Enemy of Success</title>

What type of reaction do you get when you introduce yourself at a conference, meeting or networking event? So much has been written about the elevator pitch yet most people still have a hard time making it sound compelling and authentic.
I attended an event a few weeks ago and was surprised at how people, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personal Branding: Treat Your Blog as if it was a Gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
If you are like me you have probably received countless birthday or christmas gifts that were not what you wanted or even needed. What did you do with those gifts, put them in the back of your closet, returned them if you could, re-gifted them to someone else? One thing is certain, you didn’t use [...]]]></description>

		<title>What do Three Cups of Tea and Relationship Building Have in Common?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Make building relationships an integral part of your personal brand.
